farmer61 Posted July 6, 2009 Share Posted July 6, 2009 (edited) Am selling my Natural MM 5, bought on here about 10 months ago. Bass in great nick and has been played in anger twice, not giving it enough use to justify it's place in my downsized musicroom. Some pics from my purchase can be found here - [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?s=&showtopic=27377&view=findpost&p=286262"]Stingray 5 Pics[/url] Bought for £700 and had about £150 worth of neck redressing and refretting by Strings and Things (MM UK Reseller). Am looking for my purchase price. Anyone interested?

doctor_of_the_bass Posted July 6, 2009 Share Posted July 6, 2009 I've just `rediscovered' StingRay basses recently and am now using a teal green 4 stringer for a lot of pub gigs that I'm now doing whilst the downturn has robbed me of a great deal of corporate work! The sound is perfect - a real underpinning bass sound. Are you looking at trades at all? Nick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nick[/quote] Hi Nick, Would really want a sale, but would (slightly, possibly) consider a trade for a different config SR 4 (currently have a single H). Thanks Julian........65 basses I thought my 6 was bad enough.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NJE Posted July 11, 2009 Share Posted July 11, 2009 Hello, Might be looking for a change soon and have always wanted a musicman 5. Just curious about the £150 spent on neck refretting etc. It looks like quite a new bass and I have not heard of these needing a refret or dress at a young age. I dont mean to imply anything just curious if it was major work for some reason or just a thorough set up? Thanks, Nathan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
