I just got this stunning 2001 Ernie Ball Stingray Music Man in a trade/sale, and honestly it's too pretty for me and I'll feel guilty putting any use on it. As a newer player who is generally hard on their gear, and not a collector, the age, rarity and collectible value aren't factors enough for me to keep this Bass, I'm just looking for a workhorse. original hard case and 2 pick guards included! Serial #: E20497 This bass is in immaculate condition tonally and physically. It has ZERO electrical issues, fret/neck problems, anything at all. The EQ knobs are great and snappy, the tone is obscenely powerful and rich, the 20 year basically untouched neck is buttery smooth, fretboard is clean as a whistle, impressive sustain, great overall feel, and one hell of a looker! This Bass has basically no dents/dings/scratches to note, the previous owner was a stickler for aesthetics and made SURE it was perfect (refer to replies). He was firm that this Bass was in new condition and has lived in its case for the better part of two decades. Optional Matching Headstock All original electronics Glass Smooth Neck with figuring Flawless Paint Job Excessively fat tone Gorgeous Rosewood Fretboard Backplate, hardware, tuners, all in great shape Weight: 9.3 pounds ************************************ I'd like to get $1,200 or trade for a Bass (or trade + cash, I can add cash aswell if your Bass is dramatically more valuable) Basses i'm interested in: Warwick Streamer/Thumb/Corvette Any 4 String Stingrays by Music Man Premium Sterling Stingrays Flea Jazz Bass Flea Bass some Fender P-Basses some Fender Jazz Basses Fretless 5 Strings I'm mostly searching for active instruments. (a recent model Stingray in Blonde/Natural would be my #1 pick). I'm also a huge fan of Ebony fretboards. If you have a Bass to offer please be sure it is in perfectly working order, and doesn't need work to play. Of course I can add cash for the right Bass, and I'll entertain cash + trade offers for something. Generally not interested in fretted 5's but will consider. Located in Orange County, CA. Totally willing to ship or work with you on distance. Will cover shipping in lower 48. Anything outside of that will require discussion. Payment via Paypal or cash is preferred. Thanks! imgur link to pics:
That is a seriously cool Bass. If I wasn't obsessed with Rays right now, I'd probably hop on it. I appreciate the offer! Thank you
