For sale is my 1993 Ernie Ball Music Man Stingray 4 with the 3 band EQ, bridge with mutes, and a rosewood fretboard. I bought this bass new and am its only owner.
The bass is in excellent condition. Stingrays from the early 1990s were wonderfully built, and this bass is a great example of the breed. The clear finish highlights the nicely figured wood body, and as you can see in the pictures, the back of the neck is highly figured maple, and looks fantastic. The original hardshell case is included with the bass. I just restrung it with a set of flat wound DR strings, as well.
The only blemishes are: 2 light stresses in the finish on the bottom of the instrument near the front of the control cover; a bit of tarnish on a few of the pickup poles, and; some light scratches to the rear-mounted chrome battery cover. The stresses in the finish and light tarnish are shown in close-up in one of the pictures, and the scratches in the rear chrome cover are too light to show up in pictures.
This Stingray was my first "serious" bass, and I got my first job to pay for it. In the 20+ years since then, this bass has been an absolute rock -- nothing's gone wrong and it still looks and feels great. I'm selling it because a physical disability restricts me to smaller, short-scale basses and narrower necks from now on. Otherwise, you can be sure I'd keep it, because they don't make 'em like this any more.
I don't have a digital scale, and am unable to provide an exact weight. That said, Stingrays are not known for being featherweights. On my extremely unsophisticated luggage scale this one clocked in at a hair over 9 1/2 lbs. But I repeat -- the scale is very, very far from laboratory grade.
This bass is for sale, not for trade. The ONLY possible exception is a swap for a Jerry Jones 4 string Longhorn Neptune -- not a Danelectro, not any other masonite bass. If you're not offering a Jerry Jones Longhorn Neptune, I'm not interested in a trade.
The Stingray is priced at $950 plus $50 for shipping in the continental US, and I'd be happy to answer any questions you have. Thank you.
