stingrayPete1977 Posted May 8, 2011 Posted May 8, 2011 I will be sure to give you a shout Jose, a cool late 80's one would get my vote Quote
Musicman20 Posted May 11, 2011 Author Posted May 11, 2011 The bass returned to be ... Yep.... Exactly the same! I gave up on it. I wanted a single H so Bass Merchant chaps realised we were getting nowhere and got me a 3 EQ Maple/Burst on the way as a swap, (the 2EQ was still well within warranty). It's just arrived! Firstly, beautiful burst again. Neck pocket is even better on this one. Weight seems average, paint job is great. I panicked for a moment as there was some flecks of white near the neck area, luckily it was polish Now I've avoided maple boards for a while. With this, I'm glad I didn't! Has anyone seen a standard modern Ray with flame on the headstock and maple birdseye figuring throughout the entire neck and board?! Well, I have, it's here! There is nearly as much birdseye in this cf to the Classic I tried!!!! Once the neck ages a little and darkens this thing is going to be a stunner! Quote
dave_bass5 Posted May 11, 2011 Posted May 11, 2011 Good news about the bass Gareth. Cant wait to see the pics. So, thats all sorted, just the amps to get now then (and the other incoming basses of course). Quote

I was right to return the other as with the same cable, this fitment is MUCH tighter and doesnt move. Quote

stingrayPete1977 Posted May 12, 2011 Posted May 12, 2011 Sounds cool, Maple Ray boards are FTW although I do remember someone telling me it's always rosewood on a Ray pics +1 Quote
