I sold this bass a while back to a local friend of mine. He's an avid Stingray user and has another he's been playing for 10 years, so he bought this one as a replacement.

Well, you know the story, businesses downsizing, the economies down, and on top of that his band decides to hit splits-ville. The guy also owns a US Lakland 5594 and has decided to try and hang on to it. I bought the bass back from him to help him out, but I do not need it. The lovely "stingray" tone is just not what i'm after these days.

When I sold my friend the bass, he shipped it to MusicMan and had them completely go over it! The frets were leveled/polished, a new nut was filed and installed, the rosewood board was oiled and cleaned, the bass was polished, and the neck/action set up to MusicMan specs.

The bass is strung up with new DR Nickel Lowriders and has that signature Stingray tone. The action is great, no neck problems, and the electronics are dead quiet! This bass is near mint. No major buckle rash etc...

Priced to move with the OHSC at $950.00 shipped. PLEASE, NO TRADES!
