Sterling by Music Man RAYSS4 StingRay Short Scale Black/Tortoiseshell £500 Farnham

[jaccjazz]

The StingRay Short Scale bass has the great StingRay sound shrunk down into a 30” scale length package. It features passive electronics with a powerful neodymium humbucker, providing comfort without sacrificing performance. A push volume boost and 3-way rotary switch, offering parallel, true single coil, and series modes, provides a versatile array of tonal options.

 

The shortened distance between the nut and saddles lends this model a tighter and lighter playing feel, pushing the frets closer together and lowering the string tension. The four-string StingRay is great for bassists with a smaller frame and will also serve as a comfy transition instrument for guitarists.

 

This is in pretty much mint condition since its only use has been the occasional rehearsal since I purchased it new. Currently the new price is around £750.00. But I think this beautiful black/tortoiseshell model is not currently available. I would prefer pickup. I am in Farnham (near Guildford), but could ship for around £50.00 (with insurance).
