krispn Posted April 10, 2012 Share Posted April 10, 2012 Had a very brief play on this and its super comfortable ( kinda forgot it was a 5'er) and a very up front jazz tone - Burpy like it had just shotgunned a can of fizzy pop... Did I mention the neck is sublime? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rapscallion Posted April 11, 2012 Share Posted April 11, 2012 Any interest in a four string EBMM 'Ray? Black black maple with Hipshot D-Tuner? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thornybank Posted April 11, 2012 Author Share Posted April 11, 2012 The market speaks.... Mintish orig cased Rays seem to pull £650. Maybe £700 with hipshot if orig key incl. Subject to condish and such ref above... ...I'd have to see 'nother £200, anyway. Is it a clean pre-satin/gloss neck con muchos birdseyes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
