Old Horse Murphy Posted April 16, 2010 Share Posted April 16, 2010 (edited) I recently acquired a November 2002 Musicman Stingray 5 in transparent purple, maple fingerboard, black pickguard and single Humbucker. It's in excellent condition apart from a small paint chip on the upper body (where the forearm rests) and comes with original case and all the candy. It plays beautifully and I spent last weekend giving the neck a proper clean and oil so it plays very fast and smooth. It's currently strung with a set of La Bella Flats. Problem is, I just don't like the sound of active basses (when will I ever learn?). I'm looking for a trade for a Fender US (new model) or Vintage Reissue 62 P or J bass or Lakland Duck Dunn. I'll put pics up later on if anyone is interested, but it really is a beautiful instrument in a lovely colour. Just not doing it for me sonically though Edited April 17, 2010 by Old Horse Murphy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I 've just realised I never replied to your PM about Agents- sorry. As for another Duck Dunn? Yep, another one I regret letting go of!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave_bass5 Posted April 16, 2010 Share Posted April 16, 2010 (edited) Im well thanks, hope you are. No problem about the PM, i had forgotten all about it anyway. After going through a bad phase with the DJ5 im happy with just the 4 strings at the moment. Im struggling with my Ray34's wider string spacing/neck as it is. It seems like after each gig with the Ray34 i decide to sell the DD and stick with the Ray34 and/or get a sterling or a 2EQ SR4, possibly even a Slo but then i pick it up and smile when i play it. The DD is such a nice instrument. I doubt ill hang on to it till the end of the year but i really dont want a 5 string at the moment. I just need to get a few more gigs under my belt with the Ray first before i make a final decision to get rid of it. Good luck with finding one.
