stoo Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 Did you do the neck yourself? Would love to do the same to mine but the paints not bad enough to make it a "need to" job just yet. Be interested to know how much grief I'd be looking at to get it done though.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] No grief at all just patience. Took a couple of days on and off with fine wire wool so as to not mark the wood itself. Obviously you'll need to remove the neck to do it properly. There has been no wood removed just the original paint. Most difficult part is deciding where to stop around the headstock and getting a 'finished' line as the serial number and logos etc are all there. Personal choice really but I've always preferred natural finished necks to painted ones. Now, would someone like to buy this please. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Damonjames Posted February 3, 2014 Share Posted February 3, 2014 Someone really needs to buy this.... At £350 you are getting close to the value of a Mexican made fender, which is nowhere near the build quality of these. I have the exact same colour in a 5 string and it is an absolute pleasure to play. My only criticism is the crappy scratch plate which on the 4 string are readily available to replace. The MM snobs will not agree, but these are every bit as good as the full blown stingray in terms of quality of build and components, just not quite so pretty to look at. If you need a 'ray and you only do pubs/clubs THIS is the bass for you, and at this price it's a steal. Personally even if I had a stingray I don't think I'd take it to the venues I play, and if my SUB got stolen or damaged id be massively upset, but I wouldn't be as much as it was a stingray. The old saying is true with these USA SUBs, they are not "half" as good as a stingray as Their price tag suggests. With regards to weight, I find it more comfy to play than my fender jazz 4, it appears to be a little more tail heavy and just sits wher I need it where the jazz tends to need a little push to get the neck up a little. If it were a different colour maybe I would.... GOD DAMN YOU GAS!!!! Good luck mate! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
