IIRC When we did a Maple-v-RW fretboard challenge at the Herts Bash RW came out on top nearly every time.

It did indeed, and in the Precision challenge the winner was RW as well.

I was reading on TB that the Caprice and Cutless are discontinued, that’s a great shame. 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.

Nice basses Mart. Any idea how light the Caprice actually is ( and also the Starry Night come to think of it)?

Cheers, Pete.

Hi Pete, the Ray Starry Night is 9lb 8 by my digital scales and the Caprice is dead on 8lb.

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..... 😊

I’ll take the last one, please!  Is it one of the newer ones with the roastie neck?

Expand  

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

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.
