I have been bouncing back and forth with selling this in the past couple of weeks, but now I have decided to be realistic since I can't afford to put it all together.
The body is an Ernie Ball/MusicMan Stingray body made in 1987. The original white finish had aged in some places and stayed the same in others, so I sent it to Michael Dolan to get it refinished. He painted it Inca Silver and the finish is Nitrocellulose, which ages nicely and allegedley allows for greater tone.
The pickup is a standard alnico EB Stingray pickup, and the preamp is the standard EB 2 band. Both were made in 1987. The preamp is soldered onto pots (not the input though) and is mounted on the Stingray control plate, the knobs are included.
A new Hipshot vintage style bridge will be included.
Dunlop recessed straplocks are included.
I'm not too sure what to ask for all this. The parts are quality, the new (expensive, i might add) finish....i'm going to start at $575 plus shipping. I can't take paypal at the moment, a money order (which I would prefer) or a check is fine.
I won't sell everything seperately unless somebody wants to buy just the body.
