Marcin got in contact after I posted details of some white knobs I have which fit Yamahas. He paid me more than I asked - I'm not sure what to say - I'll start with "Thanks"... Trade with absolute confidence.

Easier said than done when searching for that elusive "perfect tone". I traded my first Status Kingbass for a GB Spitfire after I bought a GB Rumour which was exactly what I wanted. The Spitfire is NOT a Rumour - I was disappointed and eventually sold the Spitfire and bought another Status Kingbass. Eventually traded this in a part ex for a Ritter Cora. Throughout this I moved several "dream basses", in fact I do not own any of the above basses any longer - as I said "that elusive "perfect tone" ".

Me too...and I'd like most of them back.

Knickers...

Personally......shame there isn't more of the Purpleheart on show.

Really?? I used A frame stands for years with no issue...

My black BBN4 had the 2+2 headstock so a later model.

I agree that it's unusual to play a poor one, however I've only ever played 1 which I felt "special". Each time I've picked up an ACG I've thought "Wow!" - necks always feel special and high quality - not so with Rays unfortunately. I agree with Japanese (and others now) models feeling equally as playable as the US models. In fact I tried a US and Squier Model Jazz in an outlet and the build quality - the neck pocket fit in particular - was better on the Squier. I started playing in the 80s - the build quality on Fenders at that time was abysmal. The world leader had virtually thrown away it's reputation because of the poor quality of the instruments it was producing. That has tainted my view of Fender ever since and I've bought less than a handful of Fenders as a result. If they had stayed on top of their game there would be far fewer companies churning out P/J copies today. In effect Fender didn't just leave the door open for their competitors they held it wide open, invited them in and let them leave with the family silver.

Keep up Pete...

For me it hasn't been every Ray...The first one I owned was really nice - mutes and figured neck - great tones, great neck and very playable. I sold it here - a few months later bought a newer one which didn't compare. I even bought one of the few Assembled in Japan models in the UK. Again, a disappointment. I've heard it said that with Rays there are good ones and not so good ones. I really should have kept the first one.

Thanks Tony Hope MIL makes a swift recovery...
