Musicman Stingray Ex - Price drop to £1050 - *WITHDRAWN* £1150 Exeter

[RaNoFuNkY]

WITHDRAWN FOR NOW

 

 

Up for sale is my sunburst Musicman Stingray Ex (1998 I believe). 

 

3-band preamp, lovely rosewood neck and one of the nicest sunburst finishes I've seen. The "Ex" means that this is a USA stingray, but assembled in Japan. It comes with a non original hardcase.

 

This is a fairly reluctant sale. It is the lightest 'Ray I own, although I am basing this on feel rather than use of dodgy kitchen scales. The previous owner estimated this to be 9 lbs (advert here).

 

There are some minor battle scars on the edge of the body - this bass has been played-in and loved, but not abused. 

 

Happy to deliver/meet within an easy drive of Exeter. I often gig in Plymouth. I can find a cardboard box and happy to discuss quotes for UK shipping etc.

Lovely bass. The old Andy Baxter for sale listing with more pics and info is still available to view if that's of any interest:

Which probably means it's got better QC than the US models.....

 

That really is a fine looking instrument 👍

Makes me want to cry into my pillow that this never happened with the 5s 🥹

I have both U.S. and Japanese EX Stingrays, and so I can directly compare. These is really no difference in feel, sound or appearance. The one discernible difference is the lack of the sticker on the back of the headstock on the EX, which specifies where the instrument was made. I would agree that the Japanese QC is top notch.

 

This will be a great buy for the lucky new owner.
