Opinions on this SR4 please.

[msausagefingers]

Thinking about buying this from ebay UK, can the forum offer me any opinions on this bass? I have already checked the SN with Dan and that matches, I've been after a SR for months now and if I dont get one shortly Im gonna dement myself. Its almost like I dont want to play my Ibanez any more.

Very nice indeed, the colour is actually buttercreme.

 

[Grand Wazoo]

She is gorgeous. And she'll look better with the tort p/guard. Go for it mate, that is a stunna!

 

[Jim_F]

Exactly the same as mine! Beautiful bass, great to play, great sounding and I love the buttercreme / tort colour combination. Go for it, you certainly won't regret it!
(I'd put the original tort pickguard back on, glad to see its included in the deal)

 

[msausagefingers]

Yeah I prefer the tort pickguard, the contrast makes it stand out nicely.

 

[Duarte]

That's a winner fo' sho'.

 

[strummer]

Wow!

The only thing you might want to check is the weight, but apart from that I'd ady go for it!

The current price is around $200 less than I sold mine for a few weeks ago. Great deal if you can get it at that price!

My first post here... Hello everyone!

Amazing, how this bass looks identical to my 2000 SR4. It's once bright white color has faded very much like the "buttercreme" finish seen here. I've seen very few white/maple StingRays over the years, especially with white pearloid pickguards.

My curiosity is what makes this bass special, in terms of being called a "Limited Edition"? The color, perhaps? I've heard that white is not very common, but is it really just the decals that make it "limited"? I'm new to all the EBMM variations of the SR, even though I've played the crap out of mine for nearly a decade.

Welcome to the EBMM forum.Yes you are spot on, It's one of the LE "limited edition" colors for 2005 but i'm having a brain fart on the other color for 2005, i'm sure another member will chime in.
I think the white SR with the maple neck is sexy and would like to see a pic of it,
do you have one posted?

[Basspro]

The UK government puts 25% on top of the price for import duties so its a little out of my reach unfortunately.

Fair enough. Your original post didn't say where you were located.

Look-up Jim (Gearhunter420) He always has a nice stable of EBMM's up for sale.
I picked up my 2005 Sterling HH from him awhile ago.Good luck.

 

[MrMusashi]

it is more than probable that another one will turn up so keep your eyes on the for sale and the ebay gem threads in here

I got it!!

The guy said the buyer pulled out so as I had emailed my interest in it he got back in touch with me. He just sent me the tracking details and it will be in my grubby little mitts by this time tomorrow.
