I didn't want to do it, but I don't really have a choice. 3 more Collectable basses on the Block. I love them, but I don't have the resources to collect right now. Anything thad doesn't get played needs to go to a new home.
First up is a dead mint Roasted Big Al 4 SSS Black Sugar. Currently strung with DR Neon Pink Strings. I played one gig with this Bass the weekend it was delivered, and it has spent the rest of her life in a case. $1750 shipped Lower 48
Next is my beloved Mary Kaye White Stingray 4 H. This one is tough to let go of as it was a gift from my family, but we all agree its better getting played, than being hung on a wall or kept in its case. Currently strung with Thomastic Jazz Flats
This bass shows some signs of being 22 years old, minor yellow spots, and a couple of dings, nothing through to the wood. It still has functional mutes, that I believe to be original. It is in amazing shape for its age. $1500 shipped lower 48
Next is also a very rare beast. A copperhead bronze Sterling. I have no idea how many of these are out there. Mine is the only one I have ever seen. As I understand it these were made for the 2004 namm show and no dealers ordered any. The ones that were built we're distributed through guitar center. I am
not the original owner of this bass, when I purchased it it was described as "mint" condition. I would not have described as mint, maybe 9.25 out of 10, but it is in the same condition as when I received it. Striking copper orange, and a pick guard that could only be described as "copper wash" very unique and a tonal beast. Currently strung with dr neon green strings. I can include a set of coated hybrid slinkys if you would prefer. $1350 shipped lower 48.
I have additional pictures of all of these, i just didn't want to clutter the thread up any more than necessary .
All 3 of these have their original musicman cases, the trans white has the period correct tolex g and g brand. Please help me out and get yourself a piece of musicman history.
I'll be adding pictures to the thread as soon as I get to my computer.
All the Best
