1988 Music Man Stingray 3EQ trans teal green SOLD! £1330 Berlin, Germany

EUR 1300 / GBP 1125

I´m selling my 88 Stingray, the color is the rare transparent teal green.

This one is from the transition era, the bass still has some pre-Ernie Ball features. The trussrod nut is at the headstock, and it has the old large bridge with the individual dampers. The rubber on these have fallen off but can eaysily be replaced with some black foam.

The bass has seen a lot of playing, there´s the typical scratching and buckle wear on the back, but the greenish finish is still on at all these spots.

The maple neck feels very nice, it feels similar to my former 77 pre EB stingray. The 3EQ electronic sounds big and smooth, the mids and highs are not as harsh as on many later MM models.

The jumbo frets have some wear but not much, the bass weighs 4,2kg which is pretty good for a Stingray from this period.

Everything works including the trussrod. The electronics are fine, no noisy pots.

The bass is all original except the nut which is black, it might be a graphite one, and the new black pickguard. The original clear pickguard was broken so it had to be replaced.

I´m in Berlin, international shipping is no problem.
