SOLD
My divesting continues, I finally found my sound and I need to move some of my collection. This is one of my favorite Stingrays but I have decided to sell since it is worth the most.
Here she is, this is hard to do.

2. John East MMSR Musicman voiced (running 9 volt)
Volume
Stacked bass (+14/-7dB @ 40 Hz) and treble (+20dB / - 16 dB @ 10K) and PP for Bright (+5dB @ 7K)
Mid with Freq sweep stack (+/- 12dB from 100 to 1000 or 200 to 2000Hz)
The East adds a whole new world of versatility to a Stingray but with the mids flat it sounds just like the factory preamp. The pots that came with the East are the best I have ever used and the build quality is superb. It is truly amazing.
This bass absolutely rips, it exemplifies what a Stingray should be. This soooo much better that the newer stingrays I have owned. It is awe inspiring.
This includes a new style Musicman Hardshell case.
