Emerald green.

I can't help but think that a classic tobacco sunburst would look good.

Hmmmm .... hadn't considered a 'non-brown' stain. Emerald green sounds tasty

[Doctor J]

It would be superb with the maple and also work with b-w-b [i]and[/i] your chrome hardware. Win win win.

how did I miss this?!!!

[Guest MoJo]

Finished at last. Not perfect but loads better than when I received it. Plays like a dream. I absolutely love it

Oooo matron!

First chance to use her in anger since buying her tonight at rehearsal

The Ray sounded sublime through my live rig. It was the first bass (including my SR5) that has prompted a 'that sounds nice' response from another band member and the only bass (again including my SR5) that our vocalist, who is also a bassist, has asked 'to have a go on'

The things people do to perfectly good instruments...

What colour did you choose in the end. Any pics?

Bought this bass from fellow Basschatter Chris (Me An My Bass).

He had been led to believe by a previous owner that this orange peel satin black finish was the remnents of the original factory finish. To his credit, when Chris was informed that the bass originally left the factory in a beautiful trans blue burst finish, he couldn't be more apologetic. A deal was struck and now the work of refinishing the bass begins.

No sign of any of the original finish exists in the cavities. I'm hoping that, being that this was a trans finish bass, a nicely grained piece of wood lies beneath that awful paint job. If so, I may go for a natural finish....if not, who knows how it'll look when it's finished

Natural ..... See above

Just to clear up folks, l bought this bass from another basschatter in Ireland who had no idea it was refinished,like l did when it was sold on.

Came to an agreement on price with Mojo after the refin issue came to light.

I am glad it was turned out well for you Mojo and the classic sound won over for you.
