police squad Posted March 2, 2016 Share Posted March 2, 2016 I'm thinking of buying a white one with a r/wood board. My friend has one for sale for £700. Looks like 3 band eq (4 knobs). Do they all have the piezo pickup? Opinions please Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Musicman20 Posted March 2, 2016 Share Posted March 2, 2016 Nope - piezo is about £150+ more, and no longer offered I don't think. It would have a huge 5 band EQ/vol/piezo knob section on the chrome control area if it is piezo. Matching headstocks aren't cheaper with EBMM - they produce some of the most stunning matching headstocks but they are at least £100+ extra. I'd love a piezo Ray!

Musicman20 Posted March 2, 2016 Share Posted March 2, 2016 3 band EQ with MHS is probably around £1500 new now! Maybe a little less. I'd say even without the MHS £700 is more than fair if it is original with the case etc. Nothing sounds like a Ray. If you want it a little less snarling, whack some flats on it and lower the treble/boost the bass. THUMP! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] I agree with Gareth, sounds an excellent price to me - and the piezo is discontinued - I have it on my Bongo 5HH and it adds another sound dimension completely - pretty rare on Stingrays though (there's a 5 string in the for sale on here at the moment) Those white Stingrays are great, and they do age to a nice cream colour reasonably quickly.
