Just seen this.

Whatcha think?

That's a bargain! I think they mispriced it thinking it was the cheaper Ray4, that's an £800 bass up there.

Not bad - although Thomann have them for a bit less.

Not the same bass, that's a Ray4 rather than a Ray34.

[dannybuoy]

Judging by the fact there is a hoover underneath, I assume that is a local crack converters?

[Dandelion]

Yip

[rhcp128]

Very good deal, just check it's a ray34

[Dandelion]

I am staying here in a hotel overnight. So I either pull the trigger tomorrow AM. Or leave it.

[stingrayPete1977]

Crikey that is cheap, makes you wonder where they got it from?!

[Cato]

It's an odd one as it's overpriced for a second hand Ray4 but seriously underpriced for a second hand Ray34.

As long as it works it's an absolute bargain.

[stingrayPete1977]

You couldn't go wrong with that, I'd just keep the receipt safe in case the 'original owner' comes looking for it.

[Lozz196]

Great price for a Ray34 - used they`re usually in the £500 bracket.

[Musashimonkey]

Bargain!

[threedaymonk]

Buy! Buy! Buy!

[Harryburke14]

If you dont want it then buy it and Id take it...

[antnee]

Did you pull the trigger? Bargain there!

[Dandelion]

Yup. Trigger pulled. She lives with me now.

[Harryburke14]

Damn. Gotta find me the nearest cash converters and see if I can pull the same trick...

[Dandelion]

She's pretty much mint too. Strings naff though.

[Harryburke14]

I think I may be feeling jealousy. Looks fantastic and at a steal price too.

But I think congratulations on a very nice NBD are in order so:

Happy NBD!!!

[stingrayPete1977]

You can't lose there, excellent.

[Musashimonkey]

Well, there's one bonus for so many confusingly named ranges of varying quality basses! Fantastic. 😊

Imagine finding a full fat EBMM Sterling for a SBMM price... One can always hope.

I was walking past my local Cash Converters today and had a look in the window. There right in the middle was a Squier Telecaster proudly being sold as a "Fender Telecaster"'. Thought I'd take a minute or two to pop in and point out the error to them - not interested; "Yeah mate, it's a Fender made by Squier" was the response that I got. Oh dear!

Slightly unrelated but still related. My friend found a white USA strat in our local pawn shop for £250. It was beautiful, she called me up to go with her to check if it was genuine, I wish I was a sociopath so I could have gone down ahead of her and grabbed it.

IMO you would no longer qualify as a friend...
