  6. Just done a trade with Freddie, Jazz MIM for a Stingray 4H, really happy, a great deal. Top bloke and really easy to deal with. Cheers mate!

  8. [quote name='stingrayPete1977' post='1169387' date='Mar 20 2011, 12:25 PM']This has become a bit of a EBMM myth im affraid, Someone was after a replacement tuner after buying a Ray in our FS section with an incorrect longer style tuner (Who was it are you reading this? ) this nonesense came up again, I posted a reply much like this, They emailed strings and things and fitted the correct one within a week The same is true if you email EBMM direct too it would seam and they reply to emails quickly. Dont beleive the hype Probably easier to get a copy one and cheaper I agree but even still parts are readily available direct, Mark at bass direct can get a full mute set including springs and screws for £25 all genuine EBMM parts for instance.[/quote] I had no idea! I'll email Strings&Things then and see if they can help me out! Do you know if you can swap out the regular bridges for the ones with mutes then? Cheers EDIT: hmm, if i did that do they stamp new bridges with your serial number??

  10. Does anyone know where I can get hold of a new black scratchplate for one of my rays? Ideally I want a real MusicMan part rather than an after market copy but can't find them anywhere on the interweb....
  11. 1972... unsurprisingly it has to be this... i still go weak at the knees at the sight of this beauty. Unlike Si, I don't have this or have it for sale. One day I will have it though.
  12. Hahaha!!! A 5 string body with a 4 string neck! Genius....
  13. [quote name='chriswilliams666' post='1164175' date='Mar 16 2011, 10:40 AM']Will you be putting the £450 towards a Duff Bass? ;-)[/quote] haha, you know me welll mate... that and a new stingray!
  14. [quote name='ezbass' post='1164480' date='Mar 16 2011, 03:01 PM']I saw/heard her on the Yamaha stand![/quote] Made my day actually!! A lot more than the empty feeling in my pocket after visiting the cafe(ish) place...
  15. Last weekend's show was a veritable slap-fest though... apart from one crazy woman who kept picking up various basses and just hammering the sh*t out of them to a hilarious level. I was waiting for Jeremy Beadle to jump out at any minute...
  16. [quote name='silddx' post='1164314' date='Mar 16 2011, 12:36 PM']I think there are two elements to this. Once you have the basic slap techniques down, it's easy to play very FAST. Unmusical instrument operators find FAST impressive and they enjoy doing it, and they think others do too. But it becomes a FAST competition, much like competitive athletics. Really musical people know other really musical people will find a single note played with extreme taste much more impressive, and that one note will say more about the player and his personality than thirty two in the same measure ever can. Unfortunately really musical people have always been in the minority.[/quote] I think that says it all. Nice post!
  17. [quote name='martthebass' post='1164368' date='Mar 16 2011, 01:24 PM']Thanks for everyone who has expressed interest in this (and it suprised me how much interest there has been in these times of austerity!), however for the moment it is withdraw while I consider other options which involve me not having to part with the best Ray it's been my pleaseure to own.[/quote] Good call...
  18. [url="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Music-Man-Stingray-4-String-Electric-Bass-Guitar-/160551033111?pt=Guitar&hash=item2561965917"]http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Music-Man-Stingray-4...=item2561965917[/url] Clearly they haven't realised this is a classic, not a regular ray. Pick your self up a bargain for £1000!
  19. [quote name='martthebass' post='1159769' date='Mar 12 2011, 07:58 PM']And replied[/quote] I've got one of these and it's without a doubt the best sounding bass I've ever heard, it has a tone from the gods... whoever picks up this beauty is a very lucky guy/girl! Can't believe you're selling it! Good luck with the sale and here's a little BUMP!
  20. Apologies for the fingerprints on the back...more polishing clearly needed!!
  21. My Fender Jazz Aerodyne is up for sale. Its a 2004 model, one of the early models before they started using the Strat style jack sockets on them. This one has black knurled knobs but I do have original ufo knobs that can be replaced if you want them. It's a great bass, but I just use my Stingray more and more and this bass just isn't getting the use it deserves. It sounds great, its completely unmarked, it looks immaculate. I'm looking for £450 for this little beauty. If you want any more info, let me know. Cheers Steve
  22. [quote name='el borracho' post='1163086' date='Mar 15 2011, 01:55 PM']+1 I can work it out but past 1st position I don't KNOW instantly. I should know but .......I don't! I've played since 1984 so doubt it's going to happen now.[/quote] +1
  23. Have you considered the Kubicki Ex-Factor route, the almost headless option?
  24. This is a great project, can't wait to see how it turns out!
