  1. [quote name='Mr Cougar' post='303620' date='Oct 10 2008, 09:51 AM']If anyone can get £800 for a modern, standard Stingray I'd be impressed[/quote] I concur. In the current climate, £600 would be good!! Couldn't shift my Black 'ray a few months ago for what I wanted, but settled on £650 in the end, and I was happy with that. Stingrays just aren't reaching thier real value on the market at the moment, but at the end of the day, anything is only worth what someone will pay for it.
  2. I once won a Fender Strat signed by Ritchie Blackmore. First thing I did when I got it home was reach for the Mr Sheen. It seemed to sound better afterwards somehow. A Stingray is a great bass, worth between 600/800 quid depending on its condition. Paul Turner is a great bass player (I'm a fan), but his signature aint worth squat. If the bass was signed by Jaco, we might be talking big bucks here, but we're not. Good luck with the sale, a '77 'ray would be a good buy.
  3. Stone the crows Steve, I'm scared just looking at it. Is that [i]your[/i] rig, or borrowed?
  4. Every time I see this bass I want it more. I'd love to take it off your hands, it's right up my street, but alas......................................I'm skint. Someone will get a very very nice bass here. Never played a short scale bass, how does it feel compared to medium scales basses?
  5. [quote name='Galilee' post='303001' date='Oct 9 2008, 01:53 PM']Ha ha, and she kicks you in the nuts....[/quote] ........and she most definately would.
  6. Beautiful bass, I've always fancied one of these.
  7. I love the Lake Placid Blue, for me the best colour for a DJ. Stick a white pearl plate on it from Jeannies and your laughing.
  8. Superb gear mate. My DJ was outstanding, I hope Ray's happy with it. I just couldn't resist another Stingray to replace it. It really doesn't get much better than Lakland IMO.
  9. A list of good kebab shops near the venues, and a crate of Stella. Just make sure you have fun that's all. I had the pleasure of doing a small tour with a rock band many years back, and it was a riot, I remember it all with great fondness, wish I could do it again now.
  10. Just read a quick interview with him, and he mentions a 70s P bass, a 70s Jazz and a Stingray.
  11. Never doubted it for a minute mate, love it to bits. Enjoy the DJ, and let me know how the gig goes with it.
  12. [quote name='waynepunkdude' post='296693' date='Oct 1 2008, 02:50 PM']You are a f*cking nut case[/quote] Indeed sir, I concur .
  13. I'll consider trades for a good combo of a simillar value.
  14. [quote name='waynepunkdude' post='296576' date='Oct 1 2008, 01:33 PM']Why would you get rid of the best looking bass on the site?[/quote] Thanks for that mate, it is nice though. Dunno, I have a disease, I just can't hang on to anything for more than five minutes. The band will quite possibly chuck me out for selling this one though, seriously. PMs replied to thanks.
  15. That looks just the ticket, very nice indeed, and a versatile pup config too.
  16. [quote name='martthebass' post='296349' date='Oct 1 2008, 11:23 AM']So perseverance does pay off? Might put my GP7 back up.[/quote] Best of luck, no-one's interested in mine.
  17. 2003 Lakland Darryl Jones in Lake PLacid Blue, Aero pickups, Jeannies White Pearl Scratchplate. I'm after another Stingray, another Marcus Miller jazz (plus cash), Warwick Streamer or a nice Precision in sunburst if possible. 4 stringers only please. Any other suggestions are welcome though, I REALLY fancy a nice streamer, preferably natural in colour. In the case of the Marcus Miller, it would need to be immaculate, with no buckle rash or major dings. I reckon the bass is worth £700 in a trade. It has no rash on the back, but does have two small scratches in the finish. It also has a small ding on the top of the headstock, other than that, I can't find a mark on it. There's no case, but I don't need one this end either as I use Ritter bags. I can deliver anywhere within reason NW England, Midlands etc, but anyway further away we'd have to arrange something, I really don't want to post it unless I have to. Superb bass this, lovely jazz honk from the Aeros, the very pickups Darryl himself requested when the model was designed, not the later Lakland pups (nothing wrong with them either of course). TRADED, thanks for the interest.
  18. GAH ! I'd love to do this, just the kind of band I'd aspire to, but [i]waaaay[/i] out of my depth too. I know how good Jamie is, and I aint good enough.
  19. All sorted and working perfectly again, just a few dry joints apparently. I've put it up for sale now, having bought a small combo instead, good amp for someone. Thanks very much everyone for the help.
