For Sale: 1995 MusicMan Stingray 2EQ "Velvet Satin" Ltd Edition in Natural Ash with Aguilar Pickup & Aguilar OBP-2 Preamp.

 

I'll start by saying that this is the best Stingray I've ever played/heard (and I recently owned a nearly new Stingray Special 5 amongst several others in the past.) It has a beautifully satin lacquer finished (not gunstock oiled, thankfully!) slim neck, and the punch/tone from the Aguilar OBP-2 Preamp & Aguilar AG4M pickup are second to none.

 

I had the Aguilar pickup reinstalled earlier this year, which is voiced like a late seventies model. (There is a routing for a single coil under the scratch plate as well, as this bass was previously modified into a HS by a previous owner - this means it has four controls, but the second knob only blends to a single coil on the Humbucker.).

 

This Ash bodied Stingray is also very light, at around 8.8lbs. Condition wise, I would give it a solid nine out of ten. It has the odd tiny, almost invisible ding, but this is in remarkable order for a 30 year old bass. Also, 30 year old Ash/Maple also resonates like you wouldn't believe. It has sustain for days.

 

The bass comes complete with a 2005 MM Anniversary brown Hard Shell Case with gold interior & an unused spare String Mute kit from Bass Direct.

 

Price is £1550, interesting trades considered.

 

Buyer to collect from Derbyshire DE7, or will meet half way up to 100 miles. (Up to 200 miles total distance.)

 

Sound Clips: (Recorded with Sennheiser Podcast Microphone from TC Electronic RH750 2x10 combo.)
