    I’ve a hankering for a nice short scale ray or 4H special in a sparkle finish…..but as gig revenue hasn’t increased since before the pandemic it will likely remain a hankering.

    Still enjoying it mate….it punches above its weight so to speak.

    Looking awesome just need to do likewise .

    I’d love a Starry Night one like yours mate but they are rocking horse poo. I know what you’re saying regarding the fallout but I’ve gigged with it a fair bit this last 12 months and the sounds are awesome live - up there with my ‘swiss knife’ EBMM Sterling.

    It's been a while since I succumbed to GAS but starting to get the hankering for a new shorty. Problem is it's a one in one out policy with swmbo and I can't decide which of my current 3 shorties would go as I use them all......first world problems eh? My hankering is for a Stingray SS; I'd love the ebmm but they aren't easy to come by and the eye watering new price is out of reach so I'd probably have to settle for the Sterling. My current 3 are a Mikey Way Mustang, JMJ Mustang and Fullerton Fallout, I'd struggle to decide which one the Stingray could replace.

    Can't help but think this is a 'cashing in' exercise, to me Rio will always be an Aria SB1000....

    I've been in 3 versions of 'Indie' over the years - my first ever band was a Joy Division tribby back in 1983.....

    Trying to sort out seeing you at your last visit to Sheffield with a couple of your old acquaintances.

    Cheers buddy

    That looks mint. I need to do the same to mine, I got one of the good ones and seeing as it’s fretless and has an East pre there would be no point in going for one of the new ones….the only thing I don’t like is the decal. Could you post a link for the decal?

    We get a fair bit of that Dave, a fair few enquiries from down south and ooop north but when we price it accordingly based on the travel and/or digs we’ve overshot the budget. Generally we’re happy with 90% of the gigs being within a 50 mile radius.

    Think we’ve got 24 booked in for Glam Fever for ‘24. Hoping that works up to about 40 as we get through the year; last year was 37 but we had about 7 cancelled due to illness, pub closures and what not. We seem to be doing more clubs these days as many pub venues are struggling cash wise.

    We’ve all been there mate!

    Despite the serious man-flu we managed to get through all the festive season gigs. XMas eve was at a nice club in Barton, a pleasant affair but a bit under populated - a trend I’ve noticed over the last couple of years….XMas eve isn’t what it used to be gig wise. Fortunately NYE was a paid party job at a local club so it was well attended but not lairy. Lots of dancing and we even managed Auld Langs Ayne on time. Unfortunately we had one old prat who over indulged and fell over one of the monitors smashing the connections’front panel….hey ho. So now a bit of a rest for the glam lads until the back end of January. Happy new year everyone.

    These don’t come up very often, think this is only the second one in the last couple of years. Glad I hung onto mine. GLWTS.

    Lets play nice gentlemen....

    Think I'm the same Daryl, after a number of cover bands that had mixed success I managed to find myself in a 70s Glam Rock band now 7 years ago. Great bunch of guys but I'm pretty much set that when this band comes to a conclusion then I'll definitely be done with routine gigging.

    Always amazes me that the prices on these are so reasonable when you look at pricing on US Fender and EBMM. Every bit as good as EBMM and IMHO a notch up from Fender Corona. Great price GLWTS.
  21. martthebass
    And sometimes all 4 in one!

    Not the OP so apologies if incorrect. I think this model was only made briefly (as opposed to the full fat Ray sub) and was series only. My model was definitely series.

    Nice little jaunt into Dronfield last night, great club with a nice clientele and atmosphere. The Christmas songs got their 3rd play of the season and spirit is still sufficient that no one is groaning yet. Audience decided they wanted us to stay up all night but after 6 encore numbers we were released and even managed to get in just before 1.

    Now you're just tormenting. You can go off someone y'know...
  25. martthebass
    No worries Mike. I know what you mean about the price differential, the price of a new one (they rarely come up used - even then they are mucho casho) at +£2k is hard to stomach but I guess that's where the prices have moved. Makes me take care of my old EBMM Sterling a bit more when I see the prices now.
