What's the going rate for Stingrays nowadays?

The quantity of bass players these days whose experience is that bass guitar controls comprise only a volume and tone control  in 2026 is absolutely astonishing

 

The thing is, they kinda have a point! 

 

Fashions change and twenty years ago, I only played active basses, but I find myself being pulled back to using passive Fenders (just like when I first started gigging). Sound engineers love them and I just saw a Tom Bukovac video, where he suggested that a Fender Precision is still the bass, the only one that will work on every session he does. You might not personally agree, but you can't disregard his opinion - it carries a lot of weight. 

 

Don't get me wrong - I have an active 'super jazz' and a stingray and they both sound great. But I still find myself taking a passive Fender out to most of the gigs that I do.

Fair enough…

 

maybe a relatively new member not 100% certain on the etiquette of the forum?

 

Why not message and guide them, if you haven’t already?

 

I’m always happy to help via PM if anyone’s not sure on what their bass is worth.

 

just an FYI if anyone’s reading 👍🏼

Whilst I know the original post hinted strongly at valuing an individual bass, my reply (which has disappeared) wasn’t - I commented on the piezo on the bass, showed him the EBMM database entry for it, and guided him to look back through the thread for people’s views on the values of Stingrays - I suggested places he could sell it including here….

Except part of that conversation was someone mentioning to them the rules of off marketplace selling, including showing the actual rules, so I think it was clear.
