Pre-EB Stingray Great Stingray that I bought from BC member drewk_ie 2 months back. This bass is a assembled bass, with a 79 body and 82 neck, hardware, pickups and preamp. The pickguard looks aftermarket to me. The body and neck have been professionally refinished, the neck had a refret, and the body a filled up P routing under the pickguard. This Ray looks, sounds and plays the deal. And that at a very decent price point. Pics: As you can see from the pictures; this bass looks pretty fresh. It has a few bumps at the bottom near the control plate, otherwise I've seen no damages that are worth pointing out separately. The bass works good by all aspects. The neck is straight with a good functioning rod, good frets, and all electronics and further hardware work as they should as well. On this Ray I've got the action the lowest on all I've played. It's really comfortable. Comes with an old tolex hardcase. I didn't think I'd sell this one so soon, as it's the nicest Ray I've played. Though I decided I need a 60s Fender, so almost all my basses will go to raise funds. Don't feel sorry for me, I still have a Modulus Flea:) The bass owes me €1.550. So that's what I want back for it. Price is decent and fixed. I am happy to ship at buyers risk and expense. Ps: Drew, I borrowed the 4 inside pics from your ad, I hope you don't mind. I didn't want to ruin the setup.

Fender Classic 60s Jaguar Very good Jaguar from the Mexican classic range. This is a lacquer version which means nitro is involved in the finish. These guitars have the USA 65ri pickups fitted from the factory, which sound great. The guitar has been used so has usermarks like scratches and dents, and a few damages to the lacquer. There is some fretwear, but nothing that affects playability. Overall the guitar looks fine though, and it plays very well. More pics: The case in the pictures is not included in the sale. Asking €800 The guitar is located in the Netherlands, but I am happy to ship at buyers risk (could take the neck of)

Rare Ibanez 12 string Concord 671-12 guitar. It has an unusual maple fretboard and some very nice woodwork on the body. The guitar is made in Japan in the 70s. The guitar is in decent shape for its age with signs of wear, but nothing crazy. There is some rattling at the bridge. I am pretty sure this has to do with the bridge nut being shaved down too low (there is almost no angle to the strings to keep them down) and being in 2 pieces.. so this needs replacement. The truss rod functions, and all the tuners are intact and working. A hardcase is included in the sale. I don't know if it's original or not. €325 The guitar is located in the Netherlands, but i am happy to ship at buyers risk and expense.

Yamaha RBX1000 Great high-end model from the RBX range. According to the serial explanation of Yamaha, this bass was made between 1986-1989. This RBX1000 is an active bass and has a 2eq preamp along with a vol and pan control. It is finished in a pretty trans black, which makes the (ash?) grain show through nicely. It's a pretty light bass, my kitchen scale sets it at 3,44 kilo's. So it's a comfortable bass to play for longer sets or rehears. Tonewise it's a versatile bass, and sounds serious. I like it especially with bass and treble boosted a lot for a deep thunderous modern sound. Cosmetically this bass is in "road worn" condition. It has a lot of scratches, dents and a few chips of paint missing... Technically the bass is all good. All electronics and hardware work like they should, the neck is straight and adjustable, the frets are still pretty good and allow low action. The bass has been set up with sadowsky strings. All in all this is a high quality, well used bass at a decent price. €550 The bass is located in the Netherlands, but I am happy to ship at buyers risk.

Sold: Aria Pro ll SB-1000 Reissue NOW €775

I bought Paul's Modulus Flea, which has been a pleasant transaction. In this post-brexit situation it took 3,5 weeks and all kinds of unclear tracking situations before it got eventually delivered. Paul didn't hesitate to be on the case and enquire info when needed, which was very helpful. In short; great, committed and friendly guy to deal with. And of course the Flea is super 😎.

Aria Pro ll SB1000 Great reissue of this classic by Aria, made in Korea. It's a really well built and versatile bass with great punchy sounds. The bass can be played passive (vol, tone) or active (varitone switch) and sounds great either way. The bass is in very good condition. There is a small damage to the lacquer on the front on the headstock, otherwise it looks pretty neat. All works like it should and it plays great with a low action. Asking €875 I am located in the Netherlands. Shipping is possible at buyers risk.

Best/Worst gig you have been to
SurroundedByManatees replied to Peloquin's topic in General Discussion
One of the best shows I've attended must be Rival sons at de Boerderij in a town called Zoetermeer. The sound was good and felt close, and the feeling was really intimate. Another remarkable gig of them had been in Haarlem in 2013 when only a "handful" (my memory says around 50) of people attended. I could get a beer at the bar and walk straight back to the first row. The other best show I've seen must be the one that Sully Erna (frontman Godsmack) did in Amsterdam about 4 years ago. His solo stuff is really great on record and evenly great live with his band and female guest singer. Really exceptional. Of course there have been some lame shows too, but nothing I recall being exceptionally poor.. -
