I'm going down a more modification route at the moment and didn't want to start messing with this so this is now up for sale.
 
This is a 2004 Ernie Ball Musicman Stingray in Desert Gold with matching headstock. I've been in contact with the original owner and apparently these were made for NAMM 2004 - all 97 of them. It also appears to have what look like black poles on the pickups like the stealth models.
 
it's an incredibly beautiful bass and the colour really pops under lights. It is in extremely good condition with only a few small marks - the first shown at the bottom of the front face of the headstock and the others are on the back of the body in the form of a couple of small dinks and a few scratches. The last of which I didn't notice until I held the bass up to the light. Other than that it has very little signs of use. there are some light marks that you can see under lights but nothing obvious and consistent with a 16 year old bass that has been very well looked after.
 
The rosewood fretboard has also aged really nicely and is really dark compared to some of the more modern basses I have owned played.
 
This is a 3EQ model and everything works perfectly with no pops or crackles. The Jack socket is also sound and I have also recently changed the battery. 
 
As far as sound goes, you know what to expect with a Stingray and this doesn't disappoint. It has the classic Stingray growl whether fitted with roundwounds or flatwounds and sits very comfortably on a strap.
 
It also comes with an original Musicman case that has the classic Musicman case smell. If you've ever owned a Musicman or a Rickenbacker then you'll know that they have an amazing smell similar to maple syrup.
 
This is an absolutely incredible bass and I will be sorry to see it go. It always gets a reaction at gigs as it's such an unusual, vibrant colour and the sound is top banana.
 
The only trade that I would be interested in at the moment would be a straight swap for a Spector Euro 4LX in a nice colour like amber, cherry, purple or similar but it must be in great condition and I am open to reasonable offers.
 
Postage will be dependant on who you would rather use. I normally use UPS which comes in at £25, Parcelforce is £16 and TNT is £22. This is going by the Interparcel website. I am also happy to meet up within reason for a socially distanced exchange.
 
And now - the porn 😛

I had only just packed it away when I realised that I am bound to be asked the weight. I have weighed it using the "holding onto it while standing on a set of scales and then again without" method.

Comes in at 9.8lbs or 4.45kgs
