Shockwave Posted June 30, 2010 Share Posted June 30, 2010 Hey guys. [size=3][b]Description[/b][/size] Here we have a good example of a Musicman Stingray 5 String [size=3][b]Specification[/b][/size] Comes in a lovely discontinued purple colour, Nice maple neck! Has had its original nut replaced to solve the G string slipping off at the edge of the fretboard that seems to happen with most SR5's. I believe it is made out of bone and is a top class peice of work. Comes with OHSC [size=3][b]Functionality[/b][/size] Absoloutely no problems electrically or structurally, all electronics are working smoothly. Trussrod is 100% functional. [size=3][b]Playability[/b] [/size] A nice low action! Typical Stingray playability. [size=3][b]Sounds[/b][/size] Real growly tone, plenty of flexibility in the pre-amp. [size=3][b]Condition[/b][/size] A couple of missing bits of finish, hard to photograph though! Some light scratches in the finish. [size=3][b]Price/Trades[/b][/size] £800 Picked up Trades. Part Exchange. (With cash my way) Fender USA Deluxe 5's plus cash, Gibson Grabber plus £300 cash. Maybe a part exchange with cash my way on a Musicman Stingray 4 string. No rosewood board basses please. [size=3][b]Delivery[/b][/size] Bass must be picked up from Bristol, would rather not post at this time. However, if you are interested in the bass and want to trade, then a meetup could be arranged. If you need to have it posted, let me know and i will contact you if i decide to post. [size=3][b]Other information[/b][/size] If you require any other information or specific photos of the bass, please let me know either by PM or my E-mail address Anubispearl [AT] hotmail.com, My number is also available for serious buyers. I RESERVE THE RIGHT TO WITHDRAW THIS BASS AT ANY TIME, OR WAIT ANY LENGTH OF TIME BEFORE COMING TO A DECISION ABOUT PARTING WITH THE BASS, Ideally i would sell this after i sold my bongo stealth V.

bassaussie Posted July 1, 2010 Share Posted July 1, 2010 That's a great finish. Have you ever tried a white pickguard on it, I reckon that would look brilliant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
merello Posted July 1, 2010 Share Posted July 1, 2010 Anyone else think of Michael Jackson dangling his child over the balcony when they see a lovely bass photographed over stones......? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And how many Jazz Deluxes do you need? Have a bump for a belter of a bass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still love the Jazz man Considering getting a Warmoth build Deluxe Jazz 5 in Antigua burst at the mo, The 19MM string spacing on your old deluxe really appeals to me!

Shockwave Posted July 1, 2010 Author Share Posted July 1, 2010 I also forgot to add that i have just put on a set of Black Bueaty Strings, A new bone nut has been installed to eliminate the G string slipping off the end of the fingerboard (Which seems to happen with most SR5's) and a set of Dunlop Strap Pins will be included with the bass.

Shockwave Posted July 2, 2010 Author Share Posted July 2, 2010 Well, the bongo is sold, so this is definitely up for sale now Would prefer cash and not trades, but will still consider a trade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jsixties Posted July 3, 2010 Share Posted July 3, 2010 Thanks God it's not a 4 strings so I truly think this is one of the better looking 'rays I've seen. Good luck with the sale mate, it won't last long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dub_junkie Posted July 18, 2010 Share Posted July 18, 2010 what a gorgeous Stingray 5! @ munkonthehill - the three settings on the switch are Parallel/Single Coil/Series. parallel is most like the 4 string Ray tonewise,single coil is a bit thinner/more focused sounding and series has the most mids and is the thickest tone of the three Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

munkonthehill Posted July 18, 2010 Share Posted July 18, 2010 everytime I see a 5 stringer I really want to take the plunge and get one. The stealth that you were selling had me itching to buy it, although I didnt have the funds at the time and was gutted when it went (and not to me). maybe once I learn how to use 4 strings I will eventually try a 5.

But didnt have the true stingray tone, and it too also had a 17.5 MM string spacing. Just prefer 19MM at the moment! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
