[quote name='ezbass' timestamp='1462017061' post='3039622'] Any stubborn residue is easily removed with peanut butter. Sounds crazy, but it works. Tahini or sunflower oil will also work at a pinch. [/quote] This. The relay bass had loads of stickers removed and peanut butter took all the residue off.

[quote name='TheGreek' timestamp='1461851150' post='3038198'] Not a big fan of the sparkly finish personally but I can't believe that a MM Ray with a Status neck no less, is still here for £600!! Yes it's a less desirable SUB but other than the actual body it's virtually a completely different bass...if I didn't have so many basses.. Complete madness...The world must be coming to an end!! [/quote] I know right? Absolute madness. The neck cost more than all the other parts put together.

Welcome from another pompey basschatter

Price drop to £550 Morning all, Up for sale is my "blingray". It started as a black Sterling SUB and I've modded it beyond recognition. I finished the project in the summer last year and since then it's only been used 4 times (2 rehearsals and 2 gigs). These days I play upright mostly and can't justify such an expensive ornament. The mods are as follows... Sterling ball stingray body, stripped and refinished in blue metal flake, Custom status graphite carbon fibre neck, with blue tint, Delano FE musicman pickup (wired parallel), John East 2 band active preamp, Hipshot Lic ultralite tuners, Hitshot detuner/extender, Schaller straploks, Aftermarket white pearl guard. With the sale I'll include a gigbag, stand and a box of PP3 batteries (not going to need them anymore) and an SKB bass safe. Whilst collection is preferred, with a gigbag and bass safe I'll post if buyer is willing to pay for a courier. Based in Portsmouth Cheers, James [URL=http://s1258.photobucket.com/user/jimryan88/media/Mobile%20Uploads/DSC_0001_zpszvcmv2yg.jpg.html][IMG]http://i1258.photobucket.com/albums/ii527/jimryan88/Mobile%20Uploads/DSC_0001_zpszvcmv2yg.jpg[/IMG][/URL] [URL=http://s1258.photobucket.com/user/jimryan88/media/Mobile%20Uploads/DSC_0003_zps4sihlsir.jpg.html][IMG]http://i1258.photobucket.com/albums/ii527/jimryan88/Mobile%20Uploads/DSC_0003_zps4sihlsir.jpg[/IMG][/URL] [URL=http://s1258.photobucket.com/user/jimryan88/media/Mobile%20Uploads/DSC_0004_zps17wartvq.jpg.html][IMG]http://i1258.photobucket.com/albums/ii527/jimryan88/Mobile%20Uploads/DSC_0004_zps17wartvq.jpg[/IMG][/URL] [URL=http://s1258.photobucket.com/user/jimryan88/media/Mobile%20Uploads/image_zpslmq6klsd.jpg.html][IMG]http://i1258.photobucket.com/albums/ii527/jimryan88/Mobile%20Uploads/image_zpslmq6klsd.jpg[/IMG][/URL] [URL=http://s1258.photobucket.com/user/jimryan88/media/Mobile%20Uploads/image_zpsnpwmfclq.jpg.html][IMG]http://i1258.photobucket.com/albums/ii527/jimryan88/Mobile%20Uploads/image_zpsnpwmfclq.jpg[/IMG][/URL] [URL=http://s1258.photobucket.com/user/jimryan88/media/Mobile%20Uploads/image_zpsxhjq5h9s.jpg.html][IMG]http://i1258.photobucket.com/albums/ii527/jimryan88/Mobile%20Uploads/image_zpsxhjq5h9s.jpg[/IMG][/URL] [URL=http://s1258.photobucket.com/user/jimryan88/media/Mobile%20Uploads/image_zps3odmonvw.jpg.html][IMG]http://i1258.photobucket.com/albums/ii527/jimryan88/Mobile%20Uploads/image_zps3odmonvw.jpg[/IMG][/URL]

Putting a value on "bitsa" basses (blue flake stingray)
Jimryan replied to Jimryan's topic in Bass Guitars
Cheers guys. The more I think about it the more I can't quite justify keeping it when it's not getting used. To test the water I've stuck it on gumtree and will probably stick it on Facebook too and come Friday (payday), I'll pay the subscription and stick it on here too (at a reduced basschat rate compared to the gumtree and Facebook price). Cheers again. -
Putting a value on "bitsa" basses (blue flake stingray)
Jimryan replied to Jimryan's topic in Bass Guitars
Cheers for the responses guys, I appreciate the advise. For starters I might stick it up for sale as a whole bass and move to parts failing any interest as the finish of the body and the neck aren't standard. With a blue status neck I might struggle selling it on its own. Cheers [URL=http://s1258.photobucket.com/user/jimryan88/media/Mobile%20Uploads/image_zps2i9nvtto.jpg.html][IMG]http://i1258.photobucket.com/albums/ii527/jimryan88/Mobile%20Uploads/image_zps2i9nvtto.jpg[/IMG][/URL] [URL=http://s1258.photobucket.com/user/jimryan88/media/Mobile%20Uploads/image_zpsumttxktw.jpg.html][IMG]http://i1258.photobucket.com/albums/ii527/jimryan88/Mobile%20Uploads/image_zpsumttxktw.jpg[/IMG][/URL] -
Putting a value on "bitsa" basses (blue flake stingray)
Jimryan replied to Jimryan's topic in Bass Guitars
Should've mentioned that, it is fretted, just an unmarked board. -
Morning all, Last summer I quite proudly made my most recent "bitsa" (the was a thread and everything). It was made to be my main gigging bass, one that I'd use all the time and do everything with. Unfortunately, since making it, I've only had two gigs and the rest since then has been with my upright. As a result, it's sat in the corner, on its stand, glittering away longing to be used. However, even when if I do find any electric work, I reach for my passive precision (also a bitsa) so it's widely neglected. This to me thinking, I could sell it, I probably won't, but I could. Let's say I did choose to sell it though, how the hell would I price it?!? What I paid in parts, what it actually/originally is/was? I've no idea. Would the fact it's a home refinish lower the value, or would the fact it's a flake finish retail the value? Do I add extra for the paint, flake and work? I just don't know. What would you guys do? How do you guys sell project basses? For reference it's made up of the following... Sterling ball SUB body (originally black £200) refinished in blue metal flake (think the blue flea bass), Status graphite neck (custom blue tint, no fret markers) £450, Delano FE pickup £80 John east 2 band pre £126, Schaller locks £6, Hipshot tuners (ultralites) and extender £100, White pearl aftermarket guard £15 Sorry mods if this isn't allowed, should be OK as I'm not doing this as a sale post. More curiosity on how people price their project basses. Thinking about it, not just for sale purposes, but for insurance quotes too I guess. Cheers, James

Afternoon all, I've decided I'm going to treat my bass to a setup soon but I haven't a clue who to take it to. Can anyone recommend anyone preferably in the Hampshire area (I'm based in Portsmouth)? Cheers, James
