Ernie Ball Stingray 4 1996, sunburst, maple neck, REDUCED AGAIN, now £1050 - *SOLD* £1250 West Sussex

[musicbassman]

Here’s a very nice Stingray dating from 1996, with the two band EQ and maple neck. It’s all original and not messed with at all. Very good condition for an almost 30 year old bass, one or two very slight marks and a slight ding halfway up the back of the neck, which I have pictured. Comes with a slightly scruffy but solid Gator case.

Selling as I am downsizing and due to age I’m playing less often now, so I’m only keeping a basic P bass which I have owned for many years.

I have been a regular on this site for nearly 10 years, you can buy with confidence.

I have great distrust of couriers, so you could collect from my place at Chichester, or via my family you could also collect from Putney or Woking, or I could possibly deliver/meet up anywhere in the South East.

Awww, @lee650, sorry mate.

I know some people are happy to risk sending valuable instruments by courier, but the very idea would give me sleepless nights.

Maybe take a cheap day return from Morecambe to London on the train (£130 ?) and collect it from Putney ? Seriously!  👍

I always get Anxiety when i courier. Which is why i pack extremely well and pay for Am delivery next day.

 

Id need to sell my stingray though, ive a 4HH with a rosewood board (i want a maple) ive a potential local buyer, but  not worth doing if you wont post.

An extra £130 isnt doable, nor a 10+ hour round trip.

Haven't seen a StingRay this cheap for a LONG time.  Sterling money for a 2 band classic, wish I had the cash spare!

I've also always been very wary of couriers and instruments - however, recently I had a courier recommended to me by Manton Customs, who I was shipping a bass to for repair.

these guys are the real deal - the courier who collected my bass is a musician himself, and I gather the company was formed in part by musicians who were sick of having expensive equipment royally kicked about by the usual suspects. I can recommend them!
