Mmm, never seen a P-neck like that, except on your Hondo P-Bass 😆 Looks a bloody decent bass for the price, there is something so iconic about the cream/black combination on a ‘Ray 👍

Could use this gone, so £150 gets you a lot of creamy bassiness for not a lot of cash 👍

Played this through my (previously for sale) Mesa M6 his evening. F**k me, on the basis of which the M6 is now staying and if I didn't have far too many basses, this would be also 🤔

If anyone want to take this off my hands for £150 on the understanding that at the very least it needs a new preamp tube but could be more, feel free to get in touch 👍

There's a rather elegant lifecycle to things on BC; how many of us have bought something, then sold it as the result of GAS, only to find ourselves realising the error of our ways and buying the same model - sometimes even the same item - again? This has sat unplayed for almost 6-months. I sat down and played it this evening and realised that, if I didn't own a Mesa Carbine M6 Combo, I'd be posting for one in Items Wanted. So I guess i've saved myself the bother of selling it only to find I need to buy it again! I'd like to say 'So with apologies, I'm withdrawing it", but given it's sat here for 6-months, I don't feel all that guilty

I'll gig it out and post some pics at the weekend, looked iconic 👍

Here's a pic for you @Cosmo Valdemar Still a big part of me wants to strip this bass, despite the very high quality of the current finish and relic work - and blondify it al la Tumahai/BBD, that bass was an iconic part of my youth! Problem is, I'd do all that work and probably still sell it 🤔

It is. If I were going to keep it I would probably switch out the current circuit to a stacked VT/VT control set, to maintain the vintage vibe but make it easier to find the sweet spot between the two PUPs. Having said that, having what amounts to three presets is pretty handy also 👍

Hey mate, there's nine pics in total, I can see them all, I've no idea what this stuff (below) at the foot of the first post is, but i don't appear to be able to remove it. Either way, I can post more pics?

She is, and I just made THAT mistake as well.......... Had to take it into the house to weigh it, so before taking it back out to the studio thought I'd have a quick play...... 🤔

Stunning 👍

Weighs in at 4.2 kgs, 9.25 lbs

Hi mate, I'll stick it on the scales later today, worth mentioning ahead of that that it's the classic 'moderate weight' bass, neither noticeably light or noticeably heavy 👍

Thanks Dave, it still sounds lovely but hard to get anything other than the yellow preamp LED to light and switching tube hasn't fixed it

As luck would have it, having taken this out today ahead of a visit from a prospective buyer, it seems to have developed a pre-amp fault so i'm going to need to get it looked at

Lovely piece of kit bought about 8-months back from @Brucegill here... It's SSL so the build and functionality are second to none. But - and it's becoming quite a big but - when it comes to audio I'm realising that I get better results when my eyes are seeing what's going on alongside my ears hearing it, so I'm increasingly reliant on working in the box. But anyway, it's a lovely piece of kit, adds that little bit of mojo to a mix. Details here https://www.solidstatelogic.com/products/fusion ]
