RaNoFuNkY Posted March 3 Posted March 3 (edited) - Price drop - Now £1050 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. Edited April 10 by RaNoFuNkY Price drop 8 Quote

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. Quote
