Got this in trade a few months ago and nodded it.
  • Nordstrand MM4.4
  • Series/single/parallel switch - The MM4.4 is a pair of split coils, so even in single mode, it's completely noiseless
  • Passive volume and tone controls - CTS pots
  • Hipshot Ultralite tuners
  • Black pickguard screws because I had them and I like how they look
  • La Bella limited edition strings - I can't remember the name LB has for them, but they're groundwound steel. They're fine, not my favorite, but unique sound
  • EDIT: Since originally listing this, I leveled the frets. It's not a professional top tier job, but they're so much better than before. No more high/low frets choking notes out if you like your action on the low side.
To accommodate the switch, I had to ream the control plate hole larger and use a sanding drum on my Dremel to make a little indentation inside the control cavity.

It's a little neck divey. Maybe weighs about 9 lbs. so not necessarily heavy, but not light. You might notice I got a tiny blob of solder embedded in the pickguard. Oops. The stock knobs don't fit on these pots, but I'll include them. Since this bass was secondhand, the maple fretboard is a little dirty.

$300 for local Portland sale OBO. Will ship it at buyers expense, your choice, slight preference for UPS.

No bag or case. Please, make an offer. No trades, though - thinning the herd.

Does it come with all the original parts?
Knobs?
Thanks
I donated the parts to someone who fixes up instruments for schools and programs in need. I'll have to look through my bin to see if I have knobs that fit.

Scott's Bass Lessons has a free video up right now extolling the virtues of the Stingray! High praise.

Yeah, the Ray can do things that the J or P can't quite nail. The electronics (preamp) in this one were faulty when I got it, but it sounds awesome passive.
