Stingray 5 HH Dargie Delight on Ebay

There were 23 DD Stingray 5HH with matching headstocks made.

I own one of them, and so does bovinehost, so I can state with absolute certainty that there were more than 2 made in that exact configuration.

FWIW, the 23 number is official from the EBMM forum.

 

maybe he's saying theres only 2 of the specific model (stingray 5 with dual humbuckers, roseboard, matching headstock)

not trying to defend him, and i don't know about this particular model, but maybe most of the others were 4 string or single humbuckers?

 

I noticed the addendum to the description. What a jerque. I e-mailed. I just *had* to. Now he'll probably flame me to bits. I'll post when he answers.

I freaking hate how people try shift like that on eBay, then get in your face when you catch them...

 

Lol, this was his "addendum" on the auction:

We state our good friend and Musicman Rep told us he thinks they made 2 of these in this exact spec. Officer Krumpky and Uncle Henry of the Ebay Police and Forum guru specialists think they made 23, 9, 11 or 17. We've been emailed all these numbers. BOTTOM LINE, they made a handful. We state probobly 2 as told to us not DEFINATELY 2. There are no more of these. We appriciate any constructive assistance, we are not perfect but appearently some of the forum geniouses know everything and like to stress that right or wrong. Go back and play on your couch like nice little bass players.. We just want accurate auctions.

He sounds like a real class act!

 

Yep. That's what made me e-mail them... I should've offered my services as their new MM guru, because I'd say that their rep don't know his business so well...

 

It was over $1995 and it STILL didn't meet his reserve?

I saw a DD Bongo on "The Perfect Bass" just yesterday for under $1300. It's gone now, but I DID see it there. Unless it was a mistake.

 

It was $1136, his buy it now was $1995

Im glad he didnt sell it, seemed like a jerk!

 

Wow that guy is a jerk if he talks to potential customers that way. I have never liked their over-inflated prices, and have seen errors in their ads before, so with attitude like that I'll never buy anything from him. He should remember, the customer is who keeps him in business.
If he's not a Mr Know-it-all, then he sure seems to ask Mr Know-it-all prices. This is his profession, he should doing some freakin' research.

BTW, Martin Music near Memphis still has a new DD SR5-HH in stock. I have bought MM's from them before, they give great deals.

 

I can say with almost 100% certainty that mine is the ONLY Dargie Bongo 4 with piezo bridge made.

Unless of course, Dargin or Sterling snuck one in for their personal stash

 

I think the Dargie's will hold there value. In a couple years people will be all over then and since they were made to order most of the went to people who won't sell them. They will be really hard to get. There are a hand full of Dargie owners on the boards. I know Eggman now has 4 dargies, I have 1, you have 1, syciprider and bartman also each have one.

 

I got one also!
