[TheSwing]

FINAL PRICE DROP TO £700. LAST WEEK TO COLLECT FROM LONDON DUE TO HOME MOVE...

 

This Ray 35 is a licensed copy of the iconic Stingray bass in Excellent Condition. Never gigged.

 

Basses from Sterling by Music Man are perfect for players seeking the Music Man vibe at a more affordable price. This TWB Limited Edition Ray35 with translucent white finish features a matching headstock, a modern contoured body, a bridge modelled after the Ernie Ball Music Man StingRay and a heavy duty 3-way switch offering series, split and parallel tones. Comes with a SBMM gig bag.

 

“Our Translucent White Blonde finish gives a nod to the classic instrument finishes of the late 1950s. Its high gloss, whitewashed look highlights the Ash wood grain, allowing each instrument its own individual personality. A rosewood fingerboard, satin finished neck and body colour-matched painted headstock round out this bass.”

Should put a NSFW warning on that. Amazing.

Very handsome bass. What does it weigh?

[TheSwing]

Hi.

I have a few genuine Stingray 5 basses which I've played for many years (hence the sale), and it is considerably lighter than all of them. It's a handsome bass, but I simply can't justify keeping it as a backup any longer!

Thanks for your interest.

But what does it weigh please? 

[TheSwing]

I don't have scales, but can take it round to a friend's place to check...

Are you up for trades? I daren't buy any more!

[TheSwing]

Ha! Me neither... am thinning the herd, I'm afraid.

[asingardenof]

Oh god, how did I miss this at the time? Definitely making things more difficult for me when I eventually have some money to buy.

[zapp]

Do you have a weight yet?

[TheSwing]

Hi zapp. Apologies – I was away from home for Christmas and New Year. It's light for a Ray 5 (I own a few), but I'll get it weighed at my friend's over the next couple of days. 

Thanks for your interest!

[TheSwing]

To all those who have asked about weight: the bass comes in at 4.5kg (9.9lbs) on my friend's digital bathroom scales. This seems to be average for a Ray 35. Cheers.

Thanks, Terry – much appreciated, mate. It's too good to be a backup!

[Terry M.]

I see this is still here. I'm not really in the market for one of these but I'm curious if you've had any interest?

[TheSwing]

Hi Terry. I have had some interest – maybe things are just slow these days. I'm surprised it's still here, to be honest!
