SOLD: EBMM Stingray 4-string 2EQ - £919

What's Hot
SporkySporky Frets: 23802
edited January 2018 in Basses £
Time to make space and funds. Serial number suggests it was made in 2000, weight dead on 9lb (just a hair over 4kg for the metrics) making it one of the lighter Stingrays. Two light scratches on the back, a few small dings in the headstock as you might expect of a 17-year-old instrument, otherwise excellent condition. Beautifully set up some years ago by @Paul_C and mostly used for Rocksmith since.

£919 collected, around £20-25 to ship it, inspection welcome in Guildford. I believe I have a cheapo gigbag for it. No trades unless you have a 230v Bosch GMF 1400CE or similar quality 1/2" router.

    just want to say I briefly played this bass at a gasfest type event and it plays, as the cliche of legend goes, like butter. Such an easy bass to play. If I had the funds and it was more like a fiddle, then I'd buy it.

    I'm not locked in here with you, you are locked in here with me.

    Bump!

    Available for trial in Guildford as mentioned; I have a lovely Genz Benz Shuttle you can try it through.

    It would be awful for such a desirably light example of the best bass to be overlooked.

    Hence a bump. :)

    Lovely bass @Sporky.  I am drawn to a Fender Precision so will pass on this instrument, GLWTS

    Deep yet light. It is a quandary wrapped in a beautiful instrument.

    Sensible offers considered.

    If this had been in the Bass £ section, I bet it would have sold by now ...
    Having trouble posting images here?  This might help.

    Imagine how good that would be with a neck mudbucker, and a P pickup too. Plenty of room for routing.

    Maybe a kahler trem too.

    It's one of those things I would love to own but probably wouldn't get any use.

    I play my 5 string 99% of the time now. Not having a low B feels weird

    Make @fretmeister 's lack of purchasing gumption your gain - and make space on my guitar rack. You'd be doing the world a double service.

    Also sensible offers considered.

    Didn't get that Stingray you wanted for Christmas?

    Oooh, she's purdy.  Incoming cheeky offer, and bear in mind I'm only 20 mins away so no packing and posting needed. =) How does £800 sound?

    Cheeky, but not outrageous.

    I feel duty bound to suggest £825 for POG or bank transfer, I'm in most of the weekend and you can try it out first?

    Sounds like a deal. I might skip the try out, I had a Ray in the 90s so I know I loves em and I am just starting up again after a VERY long break so I'm rusty at best, wouldn't be a fair test :# . Any preference in payment method? Not sure what POG is?

    Doh - typo, I meant PPG for PayPal Gift.

    Bank transfer would be ideal. Cash would be OK but is a bit more faff.
