*Now sold* Didn't plan on selling this but after buying a new sunburst Ray35 with roasted neck , I've decided to stick with that one instead. Bought from WaynesWorld on here less than a month ago, and asking what I paid for it. The bass has been extremely well looked after and plays fantastically well with a nice low action. The 2 band EQ sounds terrific imo. I have changed the orange swirl guard that came with the bass for a red tort one which I think better suits the sunburst but can change back if buyer prefers. No issues with the bass at all. These are sitting around £700 new so a bargain imo, which is what I thought when I bought it for same. I'm in Market Drayton. May be able to meet Telford, Shrewsbury, Crewe or Stoke. Should be able to post though buyer would need to arrange their own service and level of cover. Thanks for looking Keir

Thanks for the heads up as I bought this. Been looking at these a while and despite the known preamp issues I was happy to jump on it. Just looks so gorgeous and with the DiMarzios and the roasted neck I just caved in at the end up. I'll run it passive and look at an aftermarket preamp in time.

Now withdrawn from sale Selling my second gen Sire M2. Small ding by the pots and one on the bass side edge of the fretboard at the 3rd fret. Small mark on tuner key also. Superb playing bass with a really low action. Rounded over fingerboard edges are a joy! Sire pickups with the Sire Heritage preamp with mid frequency, passive tone and active/passive switch + 3 band EQ. Different sound to the V3s I had on account of the humbuckers. Selling as I am after a particular five string I have already set my sights on. Bass can be auditioned in Market Drayton. Alternatively I can meet around Telford where I work or Newcastle/Stoke, Crewe and Shrewsbury areas. May be able to post if I can lay my hands on a shipping box and packing material. In this instance buyer would have to arrange their own service and level of cover. Thanks for looking! Keir

Very nice! Loved the violet fade Euro you had. Just wish I had the readies for it at the time (sigh)

After selling my back up V3, there's been a change of plan and I'm now also letting go my main one as well. This has largely been my gigging bass of late but has been very well looked after ie almost babied. No issues, low action, plays and sounds great with the usual Sire touches like the rounded over fingerboard edges, gen 2 pickups and the Sire Heritage preamp with selectable mid frequency, passive tone and active/passive switch. Weight is 4.1kg/ 9lb 1oz according to my scales. Price does not include postage. I'm happy to box up for courier if buyer arranges their own service and level of cover. Thanks for looking! Keir

Neck dimensions/profile difference between a Ray35 and a EBMM Stingray5?

I'd have both if I had the slightest chance of geting them by the missus😏 -

That blue sparkle finish is equally as nice as the purple. I see they do a light green sparkle on the 4 but not on the 5 but don't think you can go wrong with either finish available on the five string. -
I picked up Waynesworld's sunburst Sterling Ray 25CA last week. I already have another of these in the Lake Toluca blue finish which I'm now in the process of stringing E to C. I've been pleasantly surprised with the quality of these particular basses. I used to own a Ray34CA which punched way, way above its price point so when I saw these used, with the simplicity and looks of the 4 string, I thought I'd use them as a reliable, familiar means of getting back into 5 strings again. Been very impressed so far. Now I've gone and bought a Ray35, it will be an interesting comparison - 2EQ vs 3EQ etc

Love the Amethyst Sparkle. What a great trio of StingRays!

I caved in today and bought a Ray35. Not the purple one but the vintage sunburst with roasted neck. If I end up gigging the Ray35 as my main bass I'll likely upgrade one of my Ray25CAs to the purple 35 then. Hopefully the tuner issue might be sorted by then too. -
Turns out Wayne lives just a few miles from me the way the crow flies so I nipped over and bought his Sterling Ray 25CA bass and then returned a week later to buy the case which he kindly kept for me. Items were as described and Wayne was great to sit and chat with. The fella really knows his bass gear. One of the good guys and a credit to this forum. Cheers Wayne!

Read about the tuner issue - that's not good at all 😐 I've entertained the idea of getting one of these since they were first announced. Hope this issue is sorted by the time I get one. btw is the tuner issue just with the black hardware on the purple 4 and 5 strings? -

Been a while since I owned either a StingRay 5 or Ray35 but just wanted to say that your bass looks incredible. I love the combination of the colour, the roasted neck and the black hardware. That is all.
