BFR Ernie Ball Music Man StingRay 5 HS
 

I've decided to let this amazing bass go. I've been more into passive basses lately and I can't afford to have this nice of a bass that I'm not playing. It plays and sounds fantastic, and comes with the original hard shell case. I've attached some pictures of when I received the bass. It's still in great condition, the only flaws would be a little dent/mark down by the bottom strap peg, and a little piece of plastic missing from the side of the nut(it arrived that way) but neither effect the sound or playability. I can take pictures of those areas tonight.

These are incredibly rare, they only made these available for order for one month a few years back. They sold for around $2,000 and I'm willing to let mine go for $1400 shipped in the lower 48 states.

Hit me up with any questions!:bassist:

More pics!

This has an All Rosewood neck, that's what makes it a BFR!

Here are some pics that show any flaws I could find.

Still available

I had a BFR rosewood 5 and it was sweet, never should have sold it. It was a step above any SR5 I've owned or played.

What's she weigh?

Using the bathroom scale, right around 10lbs.

Do you still have the MM? would you consider trading for a German made Warwick $$ 5 ? 2008 in great shape..

Bass is still available. Sorry, no trades at this time unless someone has a US Lakland Glaub/JO or Dunn model.

What year is it?

It's a few years old, these were only available to order for one month.

Bump it! This bass has got to go, too nice to sit around!

Bass is still here!

$1350 shipped!

Bump

Nice bass.

I have a few dumb questions, thought I would ask in the thread so others can learn too. :)

Alnico pickups, correct?

What tonal difference does the all-rosewood neck make? Is there a separate fingerboard, or is the whole neck a solid slab of rosewood?

Also, can the HS duplicate *ALL* the settings of the H? If not, what's missing?

Thanks!

Alnico pickups for sure.

It looks like solid rosewood to me, and I actually prefer the HS to the HH, I've owned both. The neck pickup is a little muddy on the HH, IMO. You can get a decent Jazz vibe on the HS. I don't think you're missing a thing with the HS. :)

Bump, I will consider offers. Happy new year!

hi mate, how's the B string on this one?
