EB MusicMan 40th Anniversary StingRay Old Smoothie

Up for sale is my Ernie Ball MusicMan 40th Anniversary StingRay "Old Smoothie" (hate the name lol!) Manufactured June 1, 2016. The bass would be mint except for a few slight swirling marks here and there. No nicks. No chips. No dings. The slab body back is super clean though. Weight is 9.5 lbs as per my bathroom scale. This bass is a dream to play. It gets its moniker from the smooth-sounding 2 band EQ and the 10 pole pickup. One piece glossy finished maple neck fretboard is straight, slim and comfy to play. The burst is beautiful. Chrome hardware. Comes with the original white pickguard. I ended up buying an EBMM original old smoothie black pickguard that I used on the bass most of the time. Personal preference. More swirls on that one than the white. I'll include the black pickguard. Right now it's strung with EB Super Slinky nickel wounds 45-100. The bass sounds fantastic. Comes with a Hipshot bass extender installed and the original tuner. Original EBMM case is practically in mint condition. Included but not installed are the EBMM strap locks. Not looking for trades – want to sell only. $50 shipping CONUSA. Local pickup in CT is OK. All I can say is that it's a beautiful bass in looks and sound. Thanks!
