1977 / 78 Musicman Stingray - *SOLD* £3395 Bristol

[Burns-bass]

A recent new addition (expensive double bass) means that I need to sell some things that I'm not using and sadly this 1977 Musicman Stingray is next on the chopping block (and indeed, is the last one to go).

 

This is all original and was purchased from the lovely team at Moto Music. You can find a comprehensive selection of images here: https://motomusic.co.uk/products/music-man-stingray-with-maple-fretboard-natural-1978?_pos=3&_psq=stingray&_ss=e&_v=1.0

 

I have the bass in my possession (it's literally behind me now) and can take any additional images you may want to see.

 

The bass is in excellent condition and is an amazing sounding and playing bass. It's a great collectible, too, with values rapidly rising. It's a slab body with no contour. It has the sealed pre-amp and 

 

The frets are pencil thin, which is a feature of the early Stingrays. It plays wonderfully well and has an even action all the way up and down the neck, but it would be remiss of me not to mention this.

 

The case that came with the bass wasn't really fit for purpose but I will purchase a suitable hard case for it (or take some cash off the price to compensate you).

 

Collection and a chance to check it out is recommended. I'm based in Bristol and work for myself, so that's not a problem. I can post this, but we would need to agree a courier and pay for insurance, so expect to pay around £75 for this (if you're based in the UK).

 

I think I've priced this fairly at £3395, which is 20% less than shop prices, but I'm happy to discuss it. Not interested in trades (as the expensive double bass is here!).

It's my son's 18th today - I'd love to be able to buy this for him... not that he plays bass! But I'd make sure it was well looked after and played regularly on his behalf.

 

GLWTS - someone is getting a great instrument 👍

Bump for any interest.
