Sterling StingRay Short Scale Bass £510 £540 Lancaster

Sterling StingRay Shortscale 

 

A great little short scale bass for the money, plays and sounds fantastic - really captures that StingRay growl using a passive pickup. 

 

The bass weighs an astonishing 3.3kgs so great for those with bad backs or shoulders. 
 

I don’t think there were many imported in this black and maple finish and it certainly has that classic StingRay look. I had a single ply black scratchplate on it for a time however it is supplied with the original faux tortoiseshell. 

Nice low action, fresh D’Addario 45-100 nicklewound strings. 

No gigbag but I have a Sterling box should you require it posting. 

Price reduction as I have restored the original tuners. 

Selling because I have been buying far too much! 

Postage UK only at buyer’s cost.

That is light, even for one of these!  Certainly mine was about 3.4 Kg, if I remember rightly (unlikely), but it had a Hipshot drop D tuner.

Yes it is very light. With the original tuners a little heavier but definitely a bass you wouldn’t worry about playing a long set with.
It’s also still available as all PMs have been replied to.

Can't believe this hasn't been snapped up yet!!

 

These are excellent basses. I've had one and also the much more expensive Music Man version. To be honest there wasn't that much difference in terms of playability and the sounds were slightly different but IMHO equally good. In fact, there are some Talkbass members who prefer the 'voice' of the SBMM. AND I think the black/tort combo really looks the business.

 

Add to that the lightweight tuners to counterbalance the very light body weight of this one (mine was heavier)...  If I had the spare cash right now I'd be buying this.
