Musicman Stingray 4

[Pete Academy]

I have acquired this lovely Stingray 4, dark blue metallic finish, 2-band EQ, rosewood fingerboard. It's immaculate, with a little wear on the scratchplate where the thumb would rest. The body and neck are completely unmarked. Original hard case has a little bit of scuffing.

I would keep it, but I've just bought the Fender Jazz.

I'm looking £750, no offers. This is a good price for its condition.

I can arrange delivery via Interlink, if needed.

Pete, that is friggin' gorgeous, pity it's not a lefty, good luck.

[Pete Academy]

I would definitely keep it but the bank account says 'No'.

[Jigster]

how does the G play on it?

[Pete Academy]

Seems all great to me.

[fireball_73]

That's a lovely colour. Would hit it if I had any cash.

[Alastair]

Oh man if this was a little blonder (maple fb/white finish) I'd be all over this!

Lovely bass!

[Pete Academy]

A Mother's Day bump up for this little beauty.

Well she is vintage and very road worn ;-)

Im almost tempted to sell my Duck Dunn for this. I dont think it will hang around long enough for me to get my lazy ass in gear though.

Good luck with it

She sounds like me

How much are you looking for the Duck Dunn?

[dave_bass5]

And me.

If I sell the DD it will be about £700 ish but I've not really thought about it yet. I've had a few PMs from people but ive not decieded yet.
I recently got a fralin for it so that was another £140.

I'm not really sure if a SR would work instead of my DD yet. I've done a couple of gigs with the sub and it's working well but I think I should do a few more before I make a decision.
Its not so much the tone, its the neck im worried about. I find the Sub neck to be ok but the DD neck is fantastic.

No probs. Give it some thought.

[dave_bass5]

I will indeed.
How's the G string? I only ask as I've had to knock the pole pices down on my sub to get a better signal from the G.

I haven't noticed a problem, but I haven't played it much. I'll check it out again but I think it's OK.

I hope to sell it before, but if not, I see you're in London and I'm playing The Pigalle there in May if you want a peek at it. <shameless gig plug over>

[dave_bass5]

I cant see this lasting through march, let alone May.
One sold last week in a matter of hours (might even have been less).

By May i will definitely have made a decision. I just wish i had a few more gigs before then.

[Pete Academy]

A quick bump up.

[dave_bass5]

:-( Stop doing this to me lol.

Can i ask what the width dimensions are at the nut and 12th fret? I'd like to gauge how the neck will feel. I have no experience with any other MM bass so i don't know what normal is for these basses.

Cheers.

This is what the Ernie Ball website says: 1-5/8" (41.3 mm) at nut 2-1/2" (63.5 mm) at last fret

[dave_bass5]

Cool, thanks.
Just put my sub up for sale so who knows.

[dodgnofski]

Bump for a really nice Bass - I saw this beauty last week & it is a seriously good example! + Pete really looks after his gear - somebody buy it quick - I'll be seeing him next week & 'her in doors' knows I definately don't own a blue coloured Bass - bugger !

Good luck with the sale Pete!

A bump up in case anyone hasn't seen this.

[peteb]

I quite fancy a Ray and that one does look nice but unfortunately, unless you (or anyone else) fancies a heavily modded 78 Fender I'm afraid that I've not got the necessary funds (due to boring things like car crashes, expenses in trying to rent a property out, etc)!
