Fs/FT - Musicman Stingray Special Aqua Sparkle - *SOLD* £1650 Plymouth

[Raslee]

My lovely Special is now up for sale as since I’ve had my 74 P I’ve barely touched it and it’s way too good to be a wall decoration. I’ve had the bass from new in late 2018. For full disclosure the body was replaced by Ernie Ball USA last year due to the previous having  an ‘ash bora beetle’ infestation. Turns out there was a few basses affected by this infamous little bug that had a penchant for a specific type of ash. Ernie Ball were truly amazing in sorting everything out, excellent customer service throughout. The whole bass was then checked over and set up with the new body by UK Ernie Ball reps

 and as such the body really remains pristine. 
It will come with the correct D-tuner (cost me £120), Musicman original case and the case candy + original tuner. 
Plays amazingly, lots of tonal versatility from the 18v preamp. There’s a small dink on the head stock and a tiny spot on neck (see pics), otherwise in excellent condition. The Om transfer on the pickguard is easily removable if so desired. Being the special it’s a lightweight bass in comparison to its predecessors, I think 8.5lbs from memory. Also I don’t think they do the Aqua sparkle colour anymore so here’s a chance to get ‘the one’. It’s a proper funk machine and by far the best Stingray I have owned. 

Looking for £1650 collected, willing to work with buyer on courier options but buyer will be responsible for costs/insurance. 

*Possible trades but will need at least £1k cash my way - lightweight jazz bass (under 8.5lbs), Barefaced One ten, Sterling Ray 34 or similar, Sub stingray, either US or the recent cheaper ones.

Beautiful bass. For me it was a toss up between Aqua or Charcoal Sparkle when these first came out, both stunning colours. If I was still gigging I’d have this so I’d have both! 😍

May also consider a Warwick, Fender, Sire, Limelight or Sandberg basses or anything quirky custom or Markbass traveller cabs in trade and cash differences, ideally need at least £800 my way 😊
