Hmm, not good. Fingers crossed for you. Christmas has certainly come early to chez Trav in the last couple of weeks or so. 

Just awaiting confirmation that it’s sold to me…

Lovely looking bass Andy, love my stingray.
I’m seriously thinking of picking up a Caprice to go with my cutlass, I still can’t put that bass down it’s phenomenal.

I’m really into the musicman playability and tones.

Think @sshorepunk is still selling his caprice.

 

i would’ve jumped, but I’ve got more P/J’s than brain cells, currently.

It’s staying!

would really like to find a diamond blue and do a neck swap, that will create a sunburst with maple and blue with rosewood, neither were available from MM

i prefer solid colours to SB!

Same here, my cutlass is the white with mint guard maple board, not sure I’d want a matching pair but I’ll see what comes up

I was that fast to press buy, I beat the internet 😂

[Bunion]

Wish I had enough in the pot for a Wal 😉

[Bunion]

My pot is on a knife edge every time I see something I like but I’m really trying hard to save it for the Wal 😄 

I do have a new crazy idea of acquiring  a fretless caprice and getting rid of the Tony Franklin sig

I’ve just mailed Musicman to see if they can provide a neck, I must say I haven’t seen one in the wild anywhere.

I've got a pair of Sterling Ray's, a Ray34 and a Ray35.

I've found that they sound quite a bit different. The 35 has a much bigger, more rounded tone while the 34 sounds a bit weak by comparison (eq flat on both).

Would this be down to the more chunky 5 string neck or would it be down to differences in the pickups?

It’s here. I confirm…it has a weight.

 

needs my preferred strings etc and a tweak to my taste.

 

it is lovely

This isn’t, but i couldn’t let @AndyTravis  have all the fun of a new bass day on his own. I’ll do a proper new bass day thread when I’ve had time to process what I did today… 😂🤣

Lovely looking bass though Andy, what does the puppy weigh then?

It’s about 10.4lbs.

 

Id suspect half of that is the bridge and control plate/pickups and knobs.

 

it doesn’t feel boat anchor esque though - feels vibrant and solid. 
 

The necks on the classics are insanely pretty.

 

Wal looks well, I await the NBD thread.

Seeing that weight makes me glad I didn’t pull the trigger now ! Enjoy 😊

It’s fine, see how it does with a 4hr rehearsal 😂

[AndyTravis]

@gafbass02 just weighed it here and it’s 10.1lbs.

Now I want one ☝️ Looks very tasty

In my previous posts, it looks like an innocuous battleship grey…

 

shine some light on the bugger and it turns into a rainbow…

I went boring some 7 years ago and opted for un interesting standard Sunburst for my Classic. But I love it!
