Saw this this morning and am hoping a forum member will jump on it...
One of ten 20th Anniversary Stingray 5HH in Tahitian Blue. 2199$
Here is the link: Used Ernie Ball Music Man Stingray 5 Ball Family 20th Anniversary Electric Bass Guitar TAHITIAN BLUE | Guitar Center
The only one of these I have ever seen for sale was priced at 7500$. JOSH

 

[sanderhermans]

That is a great price for these basses. Ive seen one before for a whole lot more.

 

[muggsy]

Wow, that is a fraction of what those were selling for new. I'm not a five string player and have too many basses already, but somebody should grab that. It's gorgeous and very rare.

 

[A.J.]

Wow!

 

[Meypelnek]

Wow! Did not know there were other color options except "California Sunset Burst". Very nice!

 

[MrMusashi]

those were limited to 10 basses with serialnumber from the 10 first produced bridges

5 of the h variety and 5 of the hh

the only thing more exclusive than that would be the blackburst (tony levin). i think they just made 2.
one for tony and one that was auctioned away for charity.
damn lucky swede that got the winning bid on that bass..

for 2200$ it is a bargain!!!

Looks like it may have been sold.

Good. Now I don't have to buy it! It was very tempting.

Good. Now I don't have to buy it! It was very tempting.

Me too - I even emailed them. Still tempted by a 30th Anniversary 4 string and 88 sunburst Sabre on Basschat - and a pre EB - all the good stuff appears a month before Christmas it seems

The 30th 4-string, you should definitely buy. Best Stingray I've ever played, and probably a good bit cheaper than the 20th Anniversary fiver.

Yeah. I can go straight to hell....!

Pics please? I don't think I've ever seen that one.

 

[Grugenhagen]

I was poking around on Guitar Center's site and it looks like this bass is for sale there again at the same price it was before. The link in the original post still works.

 

[Rod Trussbroken]

Very nice and very, very super rare!

 

[fungus]

wow. is the backside of the neck painted?

 

[cybersnyder]

My Holy Grail MM basses are the plateless, flamed top trans black SR5 that was auctioned for charity or a SR5 in Mt Dew. I'll never see either of those.

 

[PeteDuBaldo]

Yes, the neck is birdseye maple that is color-stained and finished in gloss to match the body.

 

[Kong]

And it does not ship to germany. Again.

So sad.....

So have someone in the States buy it for you and ship it your way.
