Ernie Ball Music Man LTD Stingray HH Bass (musicman) - (eBay item 230171519046 end time Sep-20-07 11:52:15 PDT)

for the past few days Ive been trying to snipe this bass off of ebay
but then it dawned upon me that the headstock isnt black like the descriptions
of the 06 ltds said they were supposed to be

ive tried to look up the serial on this forum and didnt find anything..

am i going crazy?
or is my intuition telling me something...

 

[phatduckk]

hmmm ive never seen an 06 le without a matching headstock. im guessing they all had a matching headstock tho i could be wrong.

to me it looks like somethings fishy.... im not positive but seems like it to me

 

[LimDidit]

hehe thanks for the quick reply
and good thing im neurotic enough to notice a lil detail like that??


sigh...

 

[Big Poppa]

How about a serial number and we can tell you.....It may have been made for an artist

 

[mynan]

Serial # E54087...according to the seller.

 

[Big Poppa]

That serial number comes up with a matching headstock....DOB 7/26/06

 

[mynan]

Wow, you guys are quick...

Looks like someone's got some splainin' to do.

I saw that auction too....

What it looked like to me was, someone bought the LE and swapped the neck with another bass, probably for the matching headstock...and that's why it's posted up cheaper than you normally see them.

 

[LimDidit]

wow u guys are great thanks.... looks like i spent my last few days pining for nothing


on a side note i did send the seller a PM about the headstock... asking him why theyre different when they shouldnt be... but still havent received a reply but hes been slow to respond on all my questions

 

[thaox155]

Well I guess i didnt see this till now. After over 2 years...
Im the one who bought it off him...um should i be worry? Even though this is very late already..

Well, I guess that depends. Do you like the bass? Still have it? Got a photo so we can refresh our failing memories?

Are you happy? if so then you are great. These arent rare dusenbergs where that numbers have to match. They are basses!


thanks

thaox- of the millions of basses on the open market, and of all the MM's available all over the world, you were drawn to this one for a reason. You didn't even know about the non-matching headstock until now. So what? If it plays and you like it, no problem.

I submit that the owner of a rare duesenberg with a non-matching battery box who is happy is also great! Beauty is in the eye of the beholder!

If Duesenberg only made long scale basses... oh, wrong forum...

If only Duesenberg were still in business...

Well said, I have bought a few EB's that didn't match, as long as all the parts are there and they play fine, it's another great tool.

I know you guys are loyal foreigners, I mean followers of BP and EBMM, but ya'll need to get out of guitar mode sometimes. BP was referring to the esteemed, yet defunct, American auto manufacturer of the early 20th century.
