Neither of those basses is going to achieve the asking. Mr "plain daft" ( love that) could put it up there for 10k - he wouldn't get that either!!
I got one 2 months ago for 1600 USD landed, customs paid etc, came to just over a grand STG. Little bit rough round the edges and a dodgy balance pot.
There's this rare white narrow 5 for just over 1100 stg, in Switzerland.

The 'Ray thing is too vague for me, though i could get one handy enough. No guarantee you'd like it though!! Then I'd be stuck with it
