TRADED!!!!

Up for trade is my Sterling Ray 34, I've only had this a few months since getting it from Lozz. It's a great bass but it isn't really me.

I'm looking for a trade for a Fender Highway One Precision - Pref in black but can be the other colours must be the nitro finish badass version or a RW precision or any fender p with a nitro finish

!!!!!Edit!!!!!!

Also will swap for a fender precision with a maple neck

Gig bag, schaller strap locks and levys strap included





They are £604 new on GAK and I believe this was got new in the summer this year so I'll say trade value at £550

Here's some info from GAK:

The Sterling RAY34 Bass Guitar features a select solid swamp ash body for percussive lows, subtle mids, and expansive highs. The lightweight swamp ash brings out the nuances and clarity that MusicMan basses are known for. Combined with a MusicMan-designed Sterling active 3-band preamp, you get all the tonal combinations you could ever need. A single Music Man Humbucking pickup has alnico pole pieces for classic warm tones. The MusicMan designed 6-bolt neck joint used in all the Sterling Ray basses are strong and stable with no shift in the neck pocket for superior tone transfer. The MusicMan-designed bridge uses a thick saddle for precise adjustments and stability. Precise slotting on each saddle guarantees no sideways movement on the bass strings during heavy playing.
Basses from Sterling by MusicMan are perfect for players seeking the MusicMan vibe at a more affordable price. This instrument is an accurate version of the popular MusicMan bass with no compromise on quality or materials. Sterling by MusicMan pledges to make an instrument that will deliver the performance you need.
The Black and Honeyburst finishes each feature a rosewood fretboard and the Natural comes with a Maple Fretboard.[/size][/font][/color]

Very nice!

It functions perfectly in his hands, how do I know he's not a magician? After all he does have many titles like,

Mr Phillips Zero Fret Master Magician?

Mr Phillips Subotonic flux magician?

On my way home from a truely amazing show, we had quality seats right behind Dom.

I know there isn't much Muse love on here but I'm showing mine.

For weeks I've said how Unsustainable would be such a good opener, the lights going out with the strings coming in and then gradually fading in until it breaks down. Well that essentially happened

Everything was great, set list had songs from all their albums including some off Showbiz! The stage setup was amazing and the lighting show was just mind blowing.

Even though we were behind we were really close to them and regularly Doms kit rotated round and faced us and Matt a Chris spent ages singing and playing to us.

Liquid State was really good, Chris is an amazing player but to play such a complicated bass line and a hard melody to sing was so good to see and hear.

They were all really animated and had a lot of crowd interaction.

Absolutely loved it, my voice is f***** but worth it

Thanks I'm definatly enjoying jamming with them, have my links worked?

That makes sense. I think the amp's loop isn't as hot a signal as direct from the bass (not 100% positive on that though).
You do realise you now need a controllable filter?

Just tried the effects direct from the bass and it works so much better! Thanks

That video is actually really good I quite enjoyed it!

Also why the controllable filter? And what does it do?

That makes sense, I'll try that tomorrow.

I just knocked these out - ignore the timing

Sorry yea I went bass, oc2, big muff, irig into amplitube

Yea I reckon so, just been playing on irig with amplitube and the tracking on the pedal seems almost perfect........I wonder what the difference is?

Thanks, that seems to of helped a little. Although if I try to do quick octaves eg muse uprising it sounds pretty messy...........

Thanks! I've got it in the effects loop of my amp, octave first then the Electro harmonix bass big muff. I quickly worked out anything lower than A sounds a bit........poor.....

Got myself an oc2 today and on most of the notes it seems like the note is jumping around all over the place.........I've done some googling and people say that's a characteristic of the pedal. Is this true? Just wanted some bass chatters input

I've put a new battery in if that helps?

Thanks Lozz

Bump!

Sorry to hear that Lozz, I know you've already responded to this but really see if you can keep at least one of the basses, I know what you mean about being more practical and it would help funds etc but I am really reluctant to move stuff on if it has sentimental value.

I hope things get sorted out for you, it doesn't seem like luck has been on your side, with your amp going and having to sell the precision you got off me to fund a new amp and now this

Things will improve mate and if things seem to get too much just stick on your favourite album and jam along!

My new toy

Looks nice Is that a Steve Harris sig? How's it play and sound?

And it's mine

I'm going to try for it

Bump ^^^^^^^^^

I used to have a bass like this 8-9 years ago with the neck snapped in exactly the same place.................I dumped it as I thought it was beyond repair........maybe someone picked it up and this is it?

I'll have the boss syb3 off you if it's still there? Pm'd as well

I believe it stops the slight low end boost you normally get when turning the tone knob all the way down.
[/quote]

+1 I remember reading that it just rolled the top end off without changing anything else

Bump - last price drop at £550 this I pretty much half price of the online prices!

Happy to look at trades as well

I agree, I was more comfortable sanding it down, took longer but looked better

I've used a heat gun before although had better results with sanding by hand.

Heat guns are really cheap and you can get them from most DIY shops like homebase, wickes etc I got mine from screw fix for about £10 I think
