1983 Pre-EB 4-Bolt Stingray in EXCELLENT shape with hard case

Sign in to disble this ad
All original, although I don't know about the case, fits it super snug though. Would look brand new if it weren't for some "stand marks" on the lower bout and a few little chips, also I should probably get around to hitting the metal with some 0000 steel wool. Excellent playing and sounding, the back of the neck is like new.. 4 bolt, 1983, here's some shots I just took for now. I have some others I'll post later(I took them like 6 months ago) with the internals, neck off, etc.

$1550 Shipped

that's sweet, can be of interest to someone who's looking for the pre-EB tone in combination with the less stiff or 'fender feeling' strings due to the top load.

I need another StingRay like the proverbial hole in my head but... that's the same year and colour as my favorite Sabre.... GAS pain!

Sorry not interested in trades. By bathroom scale tells me 10.4 lbs., thought it was lighter.
Also the neck is finished and feels thinner to me than modern stingrays.

The bathroom scale never lies

The neck to be thinner and gloss finished is normal for these and considered a unique selling point

Yeah, there's a whole thing up on the "sticky" at the top of the forums about some guy filing a PayPal claim on somebody since a bass was a pound off or something...scary

I've found that weight is a major selling point,either people want a heavy bass or they don't,beatiful ray bump
