get a status neck for the ray, it just makes the bass crazy good
-
what??
-
i want that bass. the lack of a 5th string is the only reason i didnt buy the one for sale on this forum weeks ago. consider me a watcher
-
bump looking at past ebay sales, my price is a bit cheap -
great price, and a great pedal which works great for bass -
good stuff, nice offer too, considering the last one on here went for £250 iirc man i miss mine.. -
whats the highest offer so far, just so we know were its at?? you dont have to say whos offer it is, but i think for the benefit of potential offerers it should be known
-
your very, very lucky for getting that at the price you did...
-

[quote name='stingrayfan' post='285260' date='Sep 16 2008, 05:43 PM']It feels smaller to me - it's definitely less chunky nearer the nut, which I like. I chose to have it fitted for the feel of graphite more than the sound. I love the smoothness of it. Found my old SR neck a bit too chunky and coarse. This allows you to play really fast. [b]Just plugged it in through my Trace Elliot combo and it sounds like a SR on steroids now.[/b] Will have to gig it to get a proper feel for what its like loud but it's might be a wild beast to tame![/quote] yes yes that is exactlyyyyyyyyy how it sounds, brilliant by the way,other great advantages your about to discover include only having to tune your bass when you change strings (the neck doesnt budge), and you dont have to worry about adjusting intonation in the summer or winter months (graphite is not effected by temperature changes)

man that sucks, with ebay fees your only gunna get £900, and if youv been paid by paypal, even less im sure it would have gone in no time if you would have advertised on the forum at £900!
-
cheapest pedal ever sold on this site award??
-
could be anything between £600 and £900 mate, its a funny old market these days
-
link dont work for me bud
-
i couldnt have a bass that didnt have extensive tone control, as i change quite alot probably why i hate passives
-
not the way things work though mate in the buy/sell world, the buyer always pays before getting, and thats true for pretty much everything. you dont go the supermarket and eat the food, then pay. you dont go online to a music site, and get them to send you a bass, n then pay when it arrives, just not the way it goes. i know what you mean on the trust thing though, and i think everyone knows about my ideas to keep basschat classifieds safe -
i just dont think i could get past the looks maybe if i find a blue dawn bongo 5...

[quote name='stingrayfan' post='284392' date='Sep 15 2008, 05:36 PM']Great basses to play - sadly awful looks. If they could get the feel and sound into a more traditional shape, it would be a winner.[/quote] yup, without doubt
-
I actually want a Bongo
-
this one was going for £1299
-
the bridge is covered by a pickup cover!! how can you comment on the bridge if you cant see it!
-
they have a nice little selection of musicmans, from what i remember they had the bongo HH, stingray 2eq, stingray 3eq, stingray 5 H, stingray 4 HH. i tried the 3eq stingray about a month back, the red/black one, and it was sh*te tbh, although it could have been the ashdown amp... i dont remember soundcontrol ever having lots of different types, although they did have a few warwicks and spectors
-
dude get it off ebay, youl be charged 10% of what it goes for, which is beyond a joke

SOLD PENDING PAYMENT. Custom 5 String Jazz bass. Spalt/Flame Maple.
Kev replied to Shockwave's topic in Basses For Sale
f*** man that sucks, aresehole, i think for someone to ask someone else to hold a bass for that long, some sort of non refundable deposit should have to be made, as situations like this just suck good luck with it man, as iv said its a cracking bass. a 5 string standard FENDER jazz bass has just sold on this forum for £600! and if it was anything like other 5 string fender jazz's iv tried, this bass blows them away, quality, playability and sound. buy it. now. -
yep, went to Reverb in bristol today and spotted a bongo HH 4 strings hanging on the wall, so i was finally able to try one. after discussing with the prick member of staff as to whether i could try it or not ("its an expensive bass for me to take down unless your gunna buy it...." wtf!) i was able to play it. Well, i was impressed to say the least. iv not played a 4 string in a while, but i adjusted pretty quickly. the feel of the neck and the bass in general was lovely, the neck wasnt at all sticky despite being painted, and the action was pretty much exactly the same as on my stingray. as predicted, the HH model wouldnt be the one i went for, as it completly hindered my slap technique, and it literally wasnt possible for me to slap fast on it. however the flexibility the 2 pickups give is superb, the bass has a great jazz tone with the bridge solo'd, but i mainly kept the balance in the middle. the preamp is probably the best iv ever used, massivly versitile, all kinds of tones were coming out of it, although i admit that my favourite sound was with everything flat. my opinion of the bass has changed quite a lot, and actually i found it not [i]thattttt[/i] ugly. the 4 string HH version is not for me, but im now very eager to try out a 5 string H model and see if i still like it as much. ah well, i managed to stay GAS free for a couple of months anyways.....
