EBMM Stingray 4HH - Sapphire Black- For Trade £1200 Morecambe

[lee650]

Testing the water, as im thinking of selling my USA Stingray 4HH (Ash/Rosewood) to try and get a stingray 5. 

 

Its a 2006 model in Sapphire Black (kind of a charcoal grey sparkle) with a moonstone pickguard (lovely green/silver). Its the 2 pickup model with the 5 way switch, but i mostly use it on back pickup or both, which gives me the classic ray bark, or a very modern dual humbucker tone reminiscent of a WAL or MM Sabre. Single coil positions are available which remind me of a grindy Rickenbacker tone (but ricky owners would disagree)

 

Its in decent condition, but has been well played. The neck is a beautifully flamed maple which has darkened to a lovely patina, i have been waxing it. Its quite wide like a P bass, but very shallow front to back, so is very comfortable, with a sumptously rich dark rosewood fingerboard.

Theres some oxidisation on the pickups, as well as one or two very small dings in the finish (which is pretty much spot on), very much in keeping with its age.

 

The downside its a monster and weighs nearly 11llbs, yes i realise 90% are now wincing.

 

Theres no OHSC regretabbly, but ive a semi hard case ill include.

Im primarily looking for a straight trade with a Stingray 5 (no Indonesean sterlings please) im not too bothered about the condition, as long as it doesnt look like it was buried with the Pharoahs, i may sell as theres a very nice and unique Stingray 5 in the classfieds.

 

Im putting a price up that id take to sell, but like most stingrays id rate the trade value as higher.

 

A 90s Stingray 5 in Teal or honeyburst or red would make me very happy, maple or rosewood, i dont mind. Ill be happy to keep this, as it sounds amazing in my 5 piece rock band, it really cuts through.

 

I reserve the right to come to my senses and withdraw this 🤣

Wonderful colour

That colour is cool…

 

I reckon a HH would suit me but the house is meant to be starting soon so I’ve been told no more basses.
