Help! Might buy a MM Stingray, but I'm not sure

[Rano Bass]

Its obviously a modded olp, maybe not a piece of crap but its very expensive at that price IMO.

I would get a Sterling By Musicman instead.

 

[Duarte]

I would get a Bongo!

Guys, I think I've found a real one

Just to be sure, this one is real right?

Sale price: €500 or $669.

Now this one looks like the real deal!. Nice price too. I wouldn't be letting that get away.

 

[Rod Trussbroken]

A lot better than the 1st one!

That one looks to be the real deal. And a nice one too.

However, the price is in the "too good to be true" category... €500 is less than half of what it's worth. I'd ask the seller to confirm that the instrument is all original, there are absolutely no technical issues with this instrument, and that it's not stolen. Sorry to sound negative, but that price is so low there has to be some issue.

That looks real to me, confirm with the seller, but looks dandy!

Mmm... the seller replied to my email like he wanted to agree with my offer (I thought: are you sure? €500? alright!) But then he referred to a line in the description that said: €1200. I'll just save up some money in the future for a Musicman in that case
Thanks for the help everyone.

Bummer (but sort of what I expected).

Be sure to keep your eyes and ears open. There are some good deals to be had in the For Sale thread here and on Talkbass. Hope to welcome you soon with your "new to you" Music Man bass!

Good Luck!
