Out of interest:

Brian E. Carlyss, age 50, passed away peacefully on December 17, 2007 following a short illness. He is survived by his beloved wife of 26 years, Dana, daughter Krystal, sister Mellena Carlyss, his grandmother Frances Reaves, uncle Jerry Reaves and aunt Jean Reaves from Arizona, uncle Earl Carlyss and family of Westport, Connecticut, uncle Gerry Carlyss and family of Plumington, Indiana and so many fans and friends. He was a multi-instrumental musician, but his main love was playing the bass guitar and singing. In his early years, his music had placed him touring internationally, working with ABC Dunhill with name acts such as The Grass Roots, The Coasters, The Drifters, Sam the Sham & the Pharaohs, The Association, John Kay and Steppenwolf and Wild Cherry. Most recently, he had been playing casinos in Arizona and Nevada with many of The Legends of Rock and Roll out of Las Vegas.

Always quite fancied an old Ray but some of those old 'clubby' necks really put me off.

Just spotted this one has a 'smaller jazz bass neck' :)

I didn't even know such a thing existed on a Ray!

Of course I have no idea about prices on old Rays - is £1,550 a good price or just general 'market value'?

They used to do the odd Jazz neck if you specifically asked for one. £1500 seems pretty fair for a '79.

prices seem to be rising. Bass gallery's pre ernie stingrays have been going for over 2K recently, 79 they have now is 2.4!!!!!

Lovely old girl, not quite as beaten up as mine but oodles of character nonetheless.

Really? Interesting, I wonder if mine has one too.
