[quote name='Hamster' post='370068' date='Jan 4 2009, 04:45 PM']The bass market is very fluid. You can get some stonking bargains and then see some basses sell for more than you'd think. - It's just the timing/luck of you selling what someone else has suddenly got massive GAS for.[/quote] +1, a few months ago a completly standard black/rosewood stingray 3eq sold for £850 BIN, whilst the next one i saw of the same model sold for £510, its all about the right buyer at the right time. Anyone wanting to sell their 'ray id advise unless they need quick money NOT to lower their price without giving it a good few weeks on here or ebay, chances are you might get more than you think

you never get round to selling it on ebay?? post it for sale on the muse board and you'll get offers that make the deep impact look a bargain

mathew your gunna have competition from moi

distinct lack of knobs for a 'instrument' with 12 pickups??

the SUB 100%, but i dont like jazz's so im biased... however, my first bass was a squier jazz, it lasted me 2 months before i got the SUB, and that lasted me 14..... my 2 cents

i was thinkin of john easting my stingray, but id lose the pickup switch functionality iv been told, would there be any way round that??

im not sure about how large the difference is with these, but i know when i changed my 5 for £5 effect patch cables to george l's and cordials, there was a definate improvement in my tone

i grabbed a hondo p from the local cc, got it for fek all, took it home and realised it had a banana for a neck, brilliant... but amazingly i got cc to refund me!

theres a couple of ray owners on here that have nordstrands, obbm's ray 5 has one iirc

wd music

forget trying to nail his studio sound, its so complex its not worth trying, and i dont think some of his sounds are even possible live. If you wanna sound like he does live, however, then get prowling the net for a human gear animato, he uses that pedal pretty much exclusivly live now

i am, but i dont ever go on there, cannot stand the place, i tried to like it but i got an official warning for saying 'bloody' in a post, kinda finished any interest i had

fantastic looking bass, really really good copy, how does she sound?
