Hello bassers,
This is a brand new Ernie Ball/Music Man Stingray 5 with dual humbuckers, a 3 band EQ, and a pickup selector switch. All active.
I am not sure what the body wood is, but it's got a great-looking rosewood fingerboard and maple neck. The body is a great cherryburst, fading from cherry red to translucent orange/yellow, all covered by a tort pick guard. The finish is guaranteed 100% flawless - just as you'd find it on the showroom floor. No scratches, bumps, bruises, buckle rash, swirlies, nothing. It has spent most of its life on a String Swing stand and has never been brought out of the bedroom.
The hardware is in great condition and works flawlessly. The only flaw I see on the entire bass is the output jack which seems to have a few absolutely TINY specs of chrome missing. The photo exaggerates their severity. I can order a replacement jack cover and install it before it's shipped to you, if you wish. As a matter of fact, the pickguard and control cavity cover still have the plastic on them!
This bass seems to be setup to EBMM specs; the action is quite good but could likely go a little lower if desired.
The bass ships with the original hardshell case and all case candy. It will have Schaller strap locks installed (but no strap).
I always use a professional packing company to ship my basses. It costs a bit more but I have never even had a scratch on the basses once delivered. I prefer to use UPS Ground, insured, signature required, but I am flexible.
I'm selling this for
SOLD. For those west of the Mississippi I have to charge an extra $25 for shipping -- the pro shippers cost a lot. Sorry for the misleading title, that was an older price that I am no longer looking to sell for.
This baby is FS only, sorry!
A note about the photos: I was working with a very wide-angle lens, so the bass' proportions will likely look somewhat "off." I live in a small area and cannot photograph the bass with a normal focal length lens. The lighting is also very harsh. If you would like to see the bass with correct photography, I am happy to take outdoor pics.
