Up for sale I’ve got a fairly clean early Nineties (dated using www.musicmanbass.org) 3-band Sting Ray in Trans Red Wine. I bought this bass about two years ago b/c I have always been a sucker for this color with the maple board. I love the feel of this bass and its “grindy” tone. However, I always seem to be reaching for one of my Celinders when it’s time to play. This bass is too sweet to sit in its case.
It has “yummy” figuring in the maple neck with some birds eye figuring as well. There is one notable blemish - a “through the finish” ding on the back of the lower horn. Other than that, there are only light swirls in the clear coat. Mild weather checking is starting to appear also – very cool in my opinion. As you can see from the photos, it has the 6-bolt neck, metal battery cover, and felts intact and in good condition. Also included is a Tolex OHSC with a few stickers on it. Weight is definitely on the lighter side for a Sting Ray – I would guesstimate around 9 – 9.5#’s. Currently set up with super low action for slapping but can easily be raised.
Asking $900.00 OBO.

| | | | Lovely beast!!
I see the back of the neck is glossy: what about the fretboard? Is it glossy too, matt, or unfinished (wax)? |
