FS: Music Man SR5 "Rare Color"

S O L D
Up for sale is my rare finished Copperhead Bronze SR5 I purchased last March here on TB. A link to the original ad: FS: Music Man StingRay 5 *rare color*)

The only issues are those as listed in the ad by larry99: a small fracture line in the corner of the gold PG (no change since I've had it) and an all but indiscernible scratch on the bottom side of the head stock. I will also include the black PG I received when I bought it.

This is a beautiful, mint condition Sting Ray 5 with an unusual color and PG. My understanding is that this color (and PG) was a special limited run for GC that was made as a prototype but not as a regular production run. From the original ad:

from Derek at EB to another Copperhead owner: "The pickguard combination with Copperhead Bronze Finish was shown at the 2004 winter Namm show. We had a few prototypes with the copper finish and the pickguard you have but decided not to offer the combination. Lucky You. We may have sold those few "Namm" basses as a special purchase. I have a SR4 sitting in my office right next to me in that same combination as yours.
Thanks
Derek"

Upgrades include new DR Sunbeams and a complete set of Schaller strap locks. Includes MM HSC in good condition.

trade for a Gibson Grabber?

Regarding trades: I'm actually trying to reduce the arsenal size, but there are a few trades which would snag my attention:

G&L L5000
Yamaha BB5500
Any P style unmodded 5 string (MIA or CIJ/MIJ)
G&L SB1 or SB2

Would probably need some cash as well .. if you've got some ideas, run 'em by me and we'll see what happens.

I have a 78 P bass but you would have to give me some cash...

Can't get much more unusual than this, and it would match your cab. Get it!

OT, did this used to belong to Donovan at Fretspot?

I saw one in the back of one of his videos, and remembered this thread.

I would like to have that kind of weekend!!! Wish I had something you wanted....

Oh, for the love of... (sigh)... I come back to TalkBass after basically a THREE YEAR hiatus to sell two basses and I already have more basses than I started out with two months ago and now THIS? Sheesh!

(mumble, stumble, shuffle, kick)...

PM is most likely forthcoming.

I remember now why I stopped coming here in the first place - never ending GAS pains...

Cory · #16 08-15-2009, 02:02 PM

incoming PM!

Strongjag · #17 08-15-2009, 05:43 PM

Sigh... If I didn't have to buy a rig.... grumble. Gorgeous, best of luck
