Hi folks, No longer just a 'feeler', NOT for sale.
I am putting up for sale my daily worker, a 2001 Musicman Stingray 5. This bass is bone stock, with plenty of nicks and cuts (or mojo), but nothing that affects its playability. The neck is gorgeous; it has aged beautifully over the past ten years.
I think I paid about $1395 for it; Based on the conversation below, This bass is for sale $950 shipped CONUS or $900 cash locally (Los Angeles area).
Here are some pics: MM StingRay5 - a set on Flickr
Thanks again for your input.

Bump for a lovely looking bass, "mojo" and all!

| | Love one woman; many basses | | Join Date: May 2010 Location: Long Beach, CA | | | No mosh pits; I just happen to play on some really small stages - next to a drummer whose crash cymbal is right next to me (hence my tinnitus).
I think that $1100 would be a fair market offer, but maybe I'm wrong. Please let me know...
Thanks!

| | Registered User | | Join Date: Oct 2008 Location: Metro Detroit | | All I can say is I've seen SR5s go for $1100 in really good shape. This one is pretty beat up. I'm sorry, man.
My SR5 is near mint and if I was selling it I think $1100 would be fair.
EDIT: Here's a near mint 2000 SR5 that sold for $1100

| | Love one woman; many basses | | Join Date: May 2010 Location: Long Beach, CA | | | Thanks for the information, although I think taking $800 may be a little hard for me to swallow. I'll offer it up for $950 shipped or $900 locally and see what happens. Much obliged to everyone for the input!

A pm is a great way to communicate without cluttering up a thread.
Good luck!

| | Love one woman; many basses | | Join Date: May 2010 Location: Long Beach, CA | | | It's all good, both of youse... I posed the question; if I can't take the constructive input, then I should get out of the kitchen - so to speak. I know the difference between personal/sentimental value, and market value. Craig was able to show that the market has reflected a value of $1100 for a mint bass, and although my SR5 is no beauty queen, she does have an awesome neck and full functionality. Since there is no evidence to justify his claim of $800, and since I've received PM's that recommend between $900 and $950, I will offer it at those prices.
I've said my peace, now I'll count to ten...
