FDC484950 Posted August 19, 2022 Share Posted August 19, 2022 (edited) I’ve had this lovely bass for a few months. It’s a stunning instrument - the charging green finish has a subtle sparkle (let’s be honest - it’s British Racing Green!) and it’s an absolute featherweight at 3.7Kg. Nut is 44.5mm and string spacing at the bridge is 17.5mm Condition is excellent. Two dings - one on the top of the headstock, the other on the upper bout, which is finish only and not down to the wood. Comes complete with an immaculate MM hard case and 3 pickguards to suit every mood - off white, black and a brand new OEM MM pearl white (the extravagance!) It has all of the Special series appointments - super light tuners and bridge, 18V circuit and neodymium pickup. I have suitable packaging so shipping to mainland UK only at cost is fine. Indicative pics below - better ones coming tomorrow. Price is a frankly eye popping £1550. No offers thank you - it’s much cheaper than any recently advertised specials and the Green is pretty darn rare No trades, thank you.

MM Stingray 62 Posted August 20, 2022 Share Posted August 20, 2022 I’m thankful this isn’t a 4 string or I could have been in trouble. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FDC484950 Posted August 20, 2022 Author Share Posted August 20, 2022 Needless to say, if you do want a 5, the B string is incredible. And I say that as a Dingwall owner - it very much holds it own and it’s so tight sounding I’ve stuck with EB slinkies as it simply doesn’t need a tapered B. EB has worked their sorcery on this bass too as despite it being super light, balance, even seated without a strap, is perfect. I’m not even sure why I’m selling it to be honest and seem to be doing a good job of talking myself out of it 😆 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stingray5 Posted August 20, 2022 Share Posted August 20, 2022 Loving that colour and, damn, you just HAD to go and show it with the pearl guard! (Be still my beating wallet!!!) 👍😎👍 GLWTS 🙂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flippyfloop Posted August 20, 2022 Share Posted August 20, 2022 This is perfection. I love MM basses but they are usually to heavy for me and that colour, wow!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moley6knipe Posted August 20, 2022 Share Posted August 20, 2022 Yeah… if this was HH I’d be finding a way to buy it despite just having flipped a (non-special) 5… BRG with white pearl and the roasted neck is SO pretty!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FDC484950 Posted August 21, 2022 Author Share Posted August 21, 2022 I had the HH previously. Personally I’m not a fan of the coil switching options as the neck pickup is too close to the fingerboard. I found it too muddy. It also really cuts down the room to slap. The 5H has the flexibility to offer both parallel and series, bringing it closer to the more aggressive tone of the Sterling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattW Posted August 21, 2022 Share Posted August 21, 2022 Man, I saw this come up last time and was sooo tempted. Just don't have the cash right now 😭. GLWTS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
