Musicman20 Posted October 12, 2011 Share Posted October 12, 2011 Personally, I would enjoy it and keep it. Nothing, IMO, is like a good Ray. My current H 3EQ is the best i've owned when it comes to that configuration. It's probably a normal weight, but the neck figuring and the feel/tone are just perfect.

Linus27 Posted October 12, 2011 Share Posted October 12, 2011 Bad luck Mart. Nothing is selling at the moment. My MIA Jazz had very very little interest and other basses on here are just not selling. I would say it is worse now that a few years ago when we had an official recession. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think this is destined to stay with me mate, I'll have to save for the P/J. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One thing I guess though, as the value of all MMs seems depressed at the mo maybe I should be less anxious about gigging it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm thinking of reaaaaaally tricking out my Sue Ryder because I need a simple P or J for the new Jam tribute band I've found myself in. I'd use the Status but it doesn't really look the part. Good look with the J, if you ever fancy a trade with something else that won't sell let me know lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stingrayPete1977 Posted October 12, 2011 Share Posted October 12, 2011 Ah makes sense now, it's more a sign of the times the the basses themselves, I have been looking at cars and it's the same story there with some little crackers for a couple of grand that would of been at least a grand more for an equivalent car a few years ago, buyers market.

martthebass Posted October 13, 2011 Author Share Posted October 13, 2011 Oh hell, let's have one last crack before I drop £50 with S&T for a spare pick guard for this baby Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martthebass Posted October 13, 2011 Author Share Posted October 13, 2011 Well.....£1049 until the Roadworns gone. Can't do better than that, my fellow Yorkshiremen would disown me if I went any lower! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martthebass Posted October 14, 2011 Author Share Posted October 14, 2011 If someone can put £1000 in my hand or bank account AND pick this up then you could have the bargain of erm...this week. Again this only lasts until my potential deal exists and time is no doubt running out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stockholm Syndrome Posted October 15, 2011 Share Posted October 15, 2011 Like I said, hoping for a fast sale when I get my wick back. This is a bass that really deserves to be loved and played. The times for selling basses are bad, though. At least in Sweden, but it seems the situation is similar in the rest of Europe as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martthebass Posted October 15, 2011 Author Share Posted October 15, 2011 Cheers SS, yup this is a helluva lot of bass for 1K. Went to Electro earlier today to see what 1K buys new......wasn't impressed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
