I've had a few Ray's and currently have a Bongo 6 HH BFR which is a phenomenal bass. Personally, it's great for me and what I play (a lot of tap style and 'lead bass') so it being hot and cutting through the mix like a hot knife is great - for me. I can very much understand that it's not the right bass for everyone. If you're playing classic rock, covers standards etc, I'd probably not recommend it. But, that's just my humble opinion! 

Am I being overly simplistic to say id far rather have a hot bass and turn down my master volume than say a passive bass that I'm cranking everything to get heard?

Power wise id rather be looking at it than for it. Again just my personal preference.

Used bongos can be got for a lot less than £2k, especially in Europe.

Always wanted one, maybe some day.

Yep

Subs are easily ss good as other US Rays as long as you don't mind slab body

2 band eq which others rave about also

Another one...

The severed headstock would be a good candidate for an overpriced EBMM official bottle opener....

L2500 better than an SR5, high praise indeed

Quoting myself from 2022 as I went and got a US stingray and then an l2500. Couldn't get over how good the l2500 was and sold the ray. 

Just my experience

Extremely classy instruments

This is true

Sounds like a bit of a lucky dip quality wise

Anyone tried one of these?

Tempted, reviews say better than affinity series

Recently acquired 

The SR300 are fantastic instruments. 

The neck, the pickups, the colour🤩

Here is my Ibby. A 1993 SR1306pd. Been playing it alot lately, it absolutely sings and is such a joy to play. Bought it last year. The preamp had been replaced with a Bartolini NTMB/918, but it's still got the original J6 pickups.

Thats lovely 

Seen a few up for sale including on here. 

To be fair I'd be jumping ship from company to company if I was famous bass player. Give me all the basses!!!!!

Then I could retire and flog all the sub 5kg ones on here.....

L2500

Love the bass 

Great playing too

Great bass

Great price 

Great seller

Bargain.

Unfortunately no cash at the moment 😕

USA SUB bass as well

Theres one up on FB at minute £700.

I remember paying £1100 for my classic 4 on here. Ray prices are only going one way....

I’d love another classic - had a white one, superb instrument.

 

swapped it for a Status Kingbass with the much missed MB1😎 - loved the Kingbass but always missed the classic.

Kingbass sounds lush to be fair 😆 

@AndyTraviswere you looking for a 5 string classic at one stage?

Shame the guy has priced it on the insane side.....

Oh man love that neck profile 

Awesome basses 

The 5 is fantastic too

Cheers

Silly question but those are stickers yeah?

Thanks 

Michael 

Mine if it helps.

It reminds me of an L2000 without the baseball bat neck.

Have one in this exact colour, awesome basses.

The pics will sell it alone.

Your price is spot on @andybassdoyle/Terry Tibbs 😆
