[Gravesend Black]

I'm not sure but this theme already appeared at the forums a couple of months ago.

Alot of money, but that bass sure is in good nick, I have seen a fair bit of Andy Baxters stuff, he aint cheap but he always has really nice quality vintage gear and a nice selection of Rays to!

 

[Hutton]

Sorry if this has already appeared. I tried a search and couldn't find anything.

 

[Gravesend Black]

No probs! I guess it's another good subject to discuss) Maybe this time someone will be interested in purchase and be able to buy that dinosaur

I think it's already sold.

I had spoken to Andy (nice Guy) about $$$ and more pics etc etc and then...nothing more.

I'm happy with my B005*** Ray. If I had that "first" Ray I had to fear thieves or so...

This was in GC Hollywood (I think?) not so long ago - it seems to be increasing in price!!

He has some nice pre EB Sabres as well.

Wow! Definitely wouldn't be one to take out for gigs, that's for sure. When I hit Powerball and open my Bass Museum, maybe I'll buy it. For now, I'll have to stick with my Classic.

 

[MrMusashi]

i think its kinda steep considering gc platinum wanted 10.000$ for it

but i understand that what the market wants to pay decides what it is worth..

B001000 is still for sale?

I play Eurojackpot, ...so maybe it will finish in my stable?

B001000 is still for sale?

Reportedly it was sold twice, and a little later put up again at higher prices.
I don't know whether that means people paid for it, only to try and sell it right away, or that people pushed the "buy" button without being able to pay.

best,

Eh. the collectors can have it. My SR4 is awesome, and I'm not sure anything could top it.

 

[keko]

Got a 1+2 on Eurojackpot ...still not enough (about 10 euros, or let's say 12 US bucks)

Next week is my turn for higher score, ...well, I hope!

 

[keko]

OK, ...some "suspicious minds" are going around in our domestic Music Forum in Music Man Club thread about this B001000 Stingray, ...so I wonder if someone from EBMM company can confirm information that this Stingray is really a serial No.1?

BP, A.J., ...anyone...?

I can't find an old thread about this, so please if company headquarters would be so kind to agree, or disagree with S/N B001000 as an authentication of No.1 Stingray?

 

[Lynottfan]

The one thing I would say, subject to EBMM input Keko, is if Andy Baxter is selling it then chances are 99.99% it is what it is, the guy is a great seller and VERY well respected, exceptionally well researched, NOT cheap for sure, but he does find top notch axes and he is a quality act.

Lynottfan,

thanks for the input, ...but I'd like to hear the input from officials!

Re the serial number:

"Fender. The Inside Story" (by Forrest White) makes reference to serial B001000 as being the first production model Music Man Bass.

(I suppose many would expect the serial to be B000001).

OK, ...thanks for the input, ...according the S/N, ...but how can I be sure that someone didn't fake that S/N on the neck joint plate?
