Price drop to £575. Can't get the website to update the number in the header. Oh well...

So, a practically brand new Ray35, personally imported by Yours Truly from the States in the summer. It's honey blonde, and has been gigged maybe 4 times. So why am I selling? Simples... After 30 years of playing 4 strings, I have discovered that I can't get my tiny brain (hands are big enough!) around the concept of an extra string. So who wants to grab a bargain?
! It is in Basingstoke, Hampshire, and I am happy to ship, splitting the cost with the lucky buyer. Alternatively, I can travel ca. 50 miles radius for £10 fuel...

G'wan g'wan g'wan, you know you want it...!

Some pics... It was a total pig getting line breaks in... I had to resort to pasting in Carriage Returns from Notepad, so if anybody out there can tell me what I was doing wrong, I'm all ears! Anyway...

It's a beauty. A bit like yourself I've always wanted to play five string on a regular basis. The sound of that B......

I had a lovely Italia Imola 5-string for a few months. Great instrument but I sounded like I was a beginner again. Started getting looks from other band members when I dropped bum notes - all those years of developed muscle memory take some dislodging. I couldn't try their patience any longer and it was cast out from the herd to make way for another 4-string. Similar story with fretless.....

Anyway - bump!

I have the sunburst version and they are fantastic basses.
I'm in the same boat as regards being so hard to get used to it after years of four strings BUT gonna persevere for now .
Bargain !!!

A year later, and a bump! I rediscovered the joys of my vintage Hohner Jack 4 string, and every time I play it I wonder what possessed me to try a fiver...!

Still in Basingtoke...
