cd_david Posted May 25, 2009 Posted May 25, 2009 (edited) Decided to sell this now as i need to buy a new car. No swaps at the present time thanks. It is a piezo, 3 band natural 4 string, originally came with the grey granite guard, which i still have and comes with musicman ltd edition case, I think it is an early ltd edition?? not sure though. Gorgeous birdseye neck. Is in excellent condition, little or no marks to comment or photograph, Only mod is i have had the back of the neck finished in satin lacquer by Dave Wilson. Plays like a dream and sounds stunning. It plays like a dream with very low action. The addition of the Piezo makes for an enormous tonal range from acoustic bass to full on stingray, if both are used an incredible stingray sound is possible, almost 3D in sound. Bass with big bald head in the pickguard Thanks Dave Edited November 7, 2009 by cd_david
MB1 Posted May 26, 2009 Posted May 26, 2009 MB1. Hello Dave!...is that Dave?....Nice Bass Dave! BUMP!

Depends how much he'd like £100 cash in his pocket as well as a nice fretless :brow:
thisnameistaken Posted May 26, 2009 Posted May 26, 2009 Hi Dave, I've got a fretless Ray 4 here that I'm not really using (early '90s I think, 3 band, slightly aging white [one small chip out of the paint on the underside of the neck joint, otherwise spotless], tort guard, unlined pau ferro board). You're welcome to come and try it whenever you like, I'd be happy to take that as a trade. - Kev
thisnameistaken Posted May 26, 2009 Posted May 26, 2009 Some quick blurry phone snaps for you. Six bolt neck, pretty glossy, the maple on the neck's nothing special, older style bridge but no mutes. Action's proper low, f/board looks a bit marked up from rounds but not too bad, certainly plays alright. If you fancy trying it out just let me know, I work from home so I'm usually here.
Duarte Posted May 27, 2009 Posted May 27, 2009 I would go for that trade. That's a stunner (although not as nice as mine was!) Free bump!

thisnameistaken Posted May 28, 2009 Posted May 28, 2009 (edited) Here's some photos. Should've cleaned the board first but no time I can feel the marks if I rub my thumb over it but it's pretty superficial stuff really. The worst of it is shown in the last photo - between the 3rd and 7th fret positions on the A. That natural fretless in the photo above looks gorgeous. Edited May 28, 2009 by thisnameistaken
