It did indeed, and in the Precision challenge the winner was RW as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was reading on TB that the Caprice and Cutless are discontinued, that’s a great shame. Loving the look of your blue one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loving the look of your blue one. So I understand. A bit too left field for Fender and Musicman officionados. I went for the Caprice because I was looking for something ‘smoother’ than the Ray or Sterling but I’ve never been overly keen on Jazzes. The nice light weight was also a bonus.

casapete Posted December 3, 2018 Share Posted December 3, 2018 Nice basses Mart. Any idea how light the Caprice actually is ( and also the Starry Night come to think of it)? Cheers, Pete. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Pete, the Ray Starry Night is 9lb 8 by my digital scales and the Caprice is dead on 8lb. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
casapete Posted December 3, 2018 Share Posted December 3, 2018 Wow, 8lbs is in my ballpark Mart! As you know, am itching to get another MM so this has given me hope to seek one out. Maybe get some help from Santa with this..... 😊 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dub_junkie Posted March 20, 2019 Share Posted March 20, 2019 Sterling Ray34ca which arrived today. Still setting it up to my liking but already hoping it fills a niche in my basses and stays. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No it’s few years old, 2005 camera phone photos. It’s definitely my go to bass. I like the roasted necks but don’t like lacquer on the neck so stick with what I know Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

martthebass Posted April 26, 2019 Share Posted April 26, 2019 Great to have my Sterling back after its visit to Mr Shuker. I wasn’t keen on the bland neck (maple board wax/oil jobbie) so after a conversation with DeeDee the bass was taken into the heart of the Peak District. Very happy with the work, a nice vintage tint gloss and stainless frets - looks awesome. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
