Lloyd P Posted January 10, 2016 Posted January 10, 2016 Bought this today, 6 months old, Bartolini pup upgrade with a Zero Mod thumb rest and D'adarrio strings - £300 cash! Opinions?

Lozz196 Posted January 10, 2016 Posted January 10, 2016 Bargain City. Great basses, I had one, and a "real" Stingray and there really wasn`t much difference in them, either in sound or playability. Quote
rogerstodge Posted January 10, 2016 Posted January 10, 2016 Oh yes proper bargain, I also had one and a mm stingray, I could hardly tell them apart, I paid £600 for my ray34 Quote
ahpook Posted January 10, 2016 Posted January 10, 2016 (edited) Very tasty Edited January 10, 2016 by ahpook Quote
sblueplanet Posted January 10, 2016 Posted January 10, 2016 Bargain! I had one in black too. Sounded fab but was just too damn heavy for my liking. Quote
BottomE Posted January 10, 2016 Posted January 10, 2016 Very nice sir, you'll have to let us know how it plays. Quote
Lloyd P Posted January 10, 2016 Author Posted January 10, 2016 [quote name='BottomE' timestamp='1452454897' post='2950117'] Very nice sir, you'll have to let us know how it plays. [/quote] I have to be honest, it plays great! The neck is neither too fat nor skinny as say a fender jazz neck. I have not found it too heavy to wear but again that's a personal thing and the range of tones available is amazing. Having a Fender Deluxe Active jazz bass (which too can be dialled in for a variety of tones) the sound of this is like no other! It can be bright and clean or growly and low. The Zero Mod thumb rest is in the perfect position for my hand, the action is just right for me and I'm finding it difficult to put down 😀 why did I wait so long before getting one of these! Quote
