What's the going rate for Stingrays nowadays?

Yes, very good basses, a few years back I had a US Stingray with a Sterling by Musicman Ray34 as backup. There was very little in them, the Ray34 being possibly a little sharper on the top end, but only a touch at most. In terms of playability & quality very close indeed.

I'll go as far to suggest that the price difference flatters the US made ones somewhat when you actually consider what you get with the Ray34/5s.

You know you won't regret it based on your personal experience.

I might when the wife sees another bass turn up!

Bought and sold a few, and am always searching/on the lookout for a good ray!

 

You do get the odd nutjob seeing what Specials go for new and assuming their early 00s 2-band is worth 2k used, but generally you'll see standards at £1100-1500 (max) and Specials from £1500-£2000.

Return to this thread every year and add 7-10% of estimates given

I've actually played this bass in the store and believe me when I say my recently acquired used Ray35 is no worse. It's hard to look at this price tag after that.
