SOLD AND GONE

 

 

 

THIS BASS HAS BEEN MODIFIED.

 

I love this bass, but even with its very low weight for a stingray 5 at 8.9 lb (kitchen scale reading)  I can’t cope anymore. Back and shoulder pain along with post hernia surgery mean that my limit is now far lower.

 

It’s a 2005 limited model in Buttercream. The previous owner swapped the scratchplate to the silver paisley.

I did more modifications including replacing the tuners for Hipshot Ultralites and swapping 3 of the heavy metal control knobs for lightweight plastic ones. The 3 are for the EQ and the regular metal one is the volume. Even just swapping 3 of the knobs lowered the weight a couple of hundred grams.

 

The biggest modification is one you can’t see - at one point this was changed to a PJ bass so there is PJ routing under the scratchplate. There is a thread on here showing it in that configuration. It was great like that but I’ve had it put back to being a Stingray to sell it. The routing was done professionally as was the putting  it back to being a Ray.

 

It sounds brilliant and if it was 2lb lighter (I wish!) I would be keeping it. Everything works as it should and here are a few dings as expected for a 2005 bass. 

 

the outside photos were taken today in bright sunshine which makes it look more yellow than it is. Other photos are older but probably show the colour better - it’s quite a gentle colour.

 

Collection from Northants just north of Towcester. About halfway between J15A and J16 on the M1.

 

£999.

Forgot to say, it does come with the official case.

And don’t be afraid of making an offer. I don’t really have a clue how to price it. Other than when the necks alone come up on eBay / reverb they can make £600 on their own.

Any pics of the routing under the plate? Your other thread only showed it with the plates on.

Did you just have it pj, or did you have emg mm and 40 in at some point?

Here you go. Routed and painted (looks like shielding paint).
