Serial number B013133 is a 79 Stingray in Walnut (Rootbeer) finish, with a rosewood fingerboard Sabre neck which came fitted to the bass ... the Ernie Ball website confirms this... Anyone who knows Pre Ernie basses will know that Rootbeer is quite a rare find and for whatever reason they always sound great (must be the beer part!!). Seriously it is a cracking bass with tons of punch and an awesome slap tone. I've owned a few Rays over the years and this one has the most bottom end grunt of any of them but also a beautiful sizzly snappy high end... Condition is very clean considering its age, some slight fading on the body and a couple of small lines on the back which havent pierced the paintwork... the string mutes are fairly worn... other than that shes 100%, great frets and neck and plays beautifully. Weight is not bad at 9 3/4 lbs on my scales. I hope the pics reflect the great condition the bass is in. Comes with a fairly worn but functional non original hard case... I am looking in the region of €1700 Euro... I am based in Ireland but worldwide shipping is no problem.. |
