Mark_ii Posted August 8, 2012 Share Posted August 8, 2012 (edited) This is the double humbucker model with the 5 way switch. It also has the cherryburst matching head stock. The amount of tones available from this bass is incredible. These retail on Thomann for between €2000 and €2100, please take time to verify this for yourself. This instrument has the highly sought after SLO neck (San Luis Obispo, California, U.S.A.) which is pretty much the same dimensions and feel as a Fender Jazz. A lot of people love the musicman bass but don't like the standard wider neck, The SLO special was brought out to address the masses who prefer jazz style necks. as a result It's extremely fast to play on. The instrument is immaculate and could easily be mistaken for new. The case is the original hard shell musicman case and all original paperwork and keys etc come in the case. The finish is absolutely gorgeous, I think you gotta see it to appreciate it fully. It is as I said as near to brand new as you'll get. Save yourself €650/€750 on a new bass. You're also very welcome to try it out. Would trade for EUB (Electric Upright Bass) of similar quality. Edit on 9/8/2012: Moderators say I need to put in some figure to give an idea of trade evaluation. So I guess I'm really after a used EUB with a value of £1000 +. Needless to say I will add a cash supplement if I'm fortunate enough for the "perfect" EUB to come along. Anyway, send in your EUB offers, I'll happily give everything my due consideration, hopefully something will surface for me.

Mark_ii Posted August 8, 2012 Author Share Posted August 8, 2012 I don't have a price on it, I'm hoping for a trade on an EUB. However feel free to make offers, I will respond. Sorry for the confusion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gust0o Posted August 9, 2012 Share Posted August 9, 2012 Mark, first off - superb bass! Timely, as we'd just been discussing the SLOs! Is the neck a genuine jazz profile, or Stingray-lite? Second, are you able to give a trade valuation, so people can guage the relative value of any trade offers they might make - it's a new rule, but we were getting a lot of confused members, so we thought we'd clarify.

stingrayPete1977 Posted August 9, 2012 Share Posted August 9, 2012 The first one of these SLO necks to come up on BassChat? Plenty of folk say they would love a Ray, especially one with multiple pickups but can't cope with the wide neck, well here you go now is your chance!
