Thanks to Nick, Doctor of the Bass, On anothr of his purchase trips round the UK, we met up and I bought this little beauty off him







Lovely neck, I fell in love with graphite with the Vigier I got from Nick last year and im a sucker for a Ray so I couldn't resist this one.

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?

[RAY AGAINST THE MACHINE]

Nice collection

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

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!

The body was part of it, and when I got the 77 body, I decided to make a new bass out of the parts I had left over along with a new status neck. Must have cost me about 650-700 in parts I think.

Hi
yeah it is see through brown (Musicman call it Walnut), wasnt my first choice in colour but it plays itself and sounds brilliant, its quite a heavy bas which i prefer. i paid £700 for it I think? about 6-7 years ago?



Cheers
