NBD - SUB Ray5

[ZenX]

Picked this up last night from a chap in Andover, had my eye on it via Farcebook Marketplace and when the price dropped I felt it would be rude not to!

I wanted a 5 that would cut a bit more than my BTB (it's a lovely bass, but a bit polite in character and this is a metal.band - although I'm fully prepared to admit the action might be too high). This thing clangs like Optimus Prime in a tin bath. Nice tight string spacing, low B behaves itself, electronics are quiet and gutsy and it's got a maple board (gone right off rosewood). As a bonus I got to try out the sellers Elite series Jazz (very tasty).

Honeymoon period obviously but this might become my main instrument.

Fab! These are great basses. I’ve got a SUB Ray 4 that I like very much. Keep us posted!

Two of my bass bucket list items:

Stingray

5 string 

Deffo looking at these as a entry to both. Are these new to you or do you have previous experience?

First Stingray. This is my other 5. And my Jazz is BEAD strung. Mainly the Stingray sound I was after.
