maxrossell Posted April 30, 2009 Share Posted April 30, 2009 I gotta ask - I don't mean to offend, but why so many of the same bass? Surely they can't all be so different from each other? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely they can't all be so different from each other?[/quote] True, but first let me explain, I only collect basses as a form of very enjoyable pension scheme, all but a hand full will be sold when I retire or need to sell. Plus they are tax deductible as a capital purchase. AND I love Rays, It was the first "proper" bass I wanted when i started playing but they were more scarce than rocking horse sh*t at the time so I only managed to get one years later. They do all sound slightly different though, 3 band eqs sound different from 2 bands, maple necks different from the rosewoods and the graphite. The 20th anniversary was purely an indulgence Edited April 30, 2009 by cd_david Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kiwi Posted April 30, 2009 Share Posted April 30, 2009 Glad you appreciate my handiwork I'm still kicking myself over how little I let that bass go for. You need a Cutlass or two in there next I think! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Must have cost me about 650-700 in parts I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
