FS: Vintage Pre - EB Music Man Stingray 4 string

[loveandbass]

1983 Pre Ernie Ball Musicman Stingray 4 $1700

The color I believe is called cherry sunburst. Everything is functioning perfectly on this bass. Really excellent condition for its age and only has a few small chips in it.

Neck pocket is labeled 1-13-83 and the neck heel itself appears to only have some initials on it, in pencil. Comes with the original hardshell case which has been around the block and has some soiling and 2 busted latches but another latch closes just fine and the case stays closed and still has good structural integrity. I have the foam mutes for this as well, in the case.









Here is a link to more detailed photos of the bass. for full disclosure I tried to photograph all the dings and nicks but the bass is really in fantastic condition for its age.

More pics?

The inevitable, 'weight' question?

[loveandbass]

Its a 4 bolt neck

Weight is right at 10 lbs

Only trade would be a modulus q5 with truss rod

A true classic 'Ray!

I have one dated 3-11-83 and it is my favorite bass ever of all the basses I've ever owned.

The Charvel Jackson built StingRays are fine instruments indeed.

[loveandbass]

bump...feel free to make a reasonable offer

will consider a modulus q5 in a trade

Looks like a poplar body. Nice bass.
