What was the sellers Returns policy listed in the advert? Si

He had Tal Wilkenfeld for a while, not sure when though....Has Roscoe Beck played for him? Wikipedia probably knows lol Si

Based on the submissions in the thread currently......I'm re-stating my opinion that NO-ONE cares about a covers band's name! Si

Ibanez.....BLEUUGGGHH that is all . How about the Ibanez ATK's? (think they're called something else now)....basically Ibanez' answer to MM's Si

I tried a Metro at the Bass Gallery in Camden and thought it was ace actually.....having said that it was only in a shop...at a gig is a whole other kettle of balls. I tried a US Sad at a gig and thought it was very very average! Si

Having not read Guy's book on the boards here I can safely stay on my high-horse....... I just hope Tony Levin doesn't find out I read a borrowed copy of Beyond The Bass-Clef I never got on with my stacker I have to say, If I'd kept it, I would have taken it back to Vol/Vol/Tone....but then I sold it! Si

Not to be extra cynical....but does anyway care about the name of a covers band? lol They're all awful....so pick anything and run with it Si (I can say all this because I'm in a very busy covers band with a very generic name....it makes no difference)

Excellent, cheers for that Matski Si

Thanks guys, I can't quite zoom in far enough haha...but I'm sure its all good! Have a date to see it...will let you know how I get on Si

Actually, where would the serial number be located....he's provided me with it, but I can't see it in any of the photos Cheers Si

Yeah I'm happy that it is what it is! No dot at the 21st.....Serial number checks out around 1980/81 (won't remove the neck until I'm there or after purchase). Yeah the strings I use currently (Newtone) go on my two Jazz Bass thru-bodies no problems. We'll see...going to see it asap Si

I think he seems completely sane....just a real character! The stack-knob looks amazing, shame its in a horrible sounding room! Si

[quote name='stingrayPete1977' post='911043' date='Jul 31 2010, 10:59 AM']...Alleva and the like will never hit the pre cbs Fender prices Im sure of it....[/quote] Thats cos his prices are already at the same level lol Si

[quote name='Bassnut62' post='910908' date='Jul 31 2010, 06:42 AM']There's a thread running in this same forum titled - who's gonna buy this. Someone posted links to the 3 pre-EB Rays in this thread[/quote] Cheers for that Si

I don't really no much about the early G&L's, when were Leo's years etc? Always loved the ASAT's looks! Si

What are the three on eBay?, my very brief search only came up with a black '78 at £1800 (too much), and a natural one in America with bidding around £500 Cheers Si

[quote name='witterth' post='910410' date='Jul 30 2010, 04:24 PM']Here, Si. but then,you'd know that wouldnt you! ATB W[/quote] Well yeah, thats a given isn't it Si

[quote name='Rayman' post='910403' date='Jul 30 2010, 04:18 PM']I have to say though that many people here will say they've [i]never[/i] had a problem at all, so don't write off a 'ray just because some of us [i]have[/i] had an issue, they're great basses when you find a good one.[/quote] Oh of course, certainly wouldn't pass on anything just cos of heresay Anyone know of good places to look out for Pre-EB stingrays?
