Beedster Posted October 14 Share Posted October 14 Rather torn about this and certainly not overly keen to sell, but I bought it recently to do a better job than a Status Jazz in an RHCP project but I think I prefer the Jazz. I'm selling for slightly less than I paid, c'est la vie. Trade-wise I'd like a decently large amp, Boogie, Ampeg, WHYG? This has a forearm contour that I assume is a modification (as opposed to factory), but as you can see, has been very well done. I can get to London or most of SE (or beyond) for a handover, I'd really prefer not to post, especially for we're doing a trade.

Beedster Posted October 14 Author Share Posted October 14 If you want it be quick however, as I appear to be changing my mind a lot at the moment and it wouldn't take a lot of convincing for me to keep it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm going to experiment with the Status neck on a Jazz body routed for an MM PUP, I love the tone of the Ray, I love the playability of the Status neck 👍 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beedster Posted October 17 Author Share Posted October 17 I appear to be running low on file storage but there's a load of photos of the bass on the recent Reverb listing here https://reverb.com/uk/item/83902180-ernie-ball-music-man-sub-bass-4-active-2003-2006-black I'll add a few until my storage is exceeded Back of body in very goo condition Neck played in but still in good shape Some scratches around neck/headstock joint Details plus some inevitable headstock wear for a 20-year old bass Lovely dark board ....and just in case you have a nut fetish Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beedster Posted October 17 Author Share Posted October 17 OK, doesn't look it's best in tort, but this is a pretty decent instrument that's not only iconic but moving towards vintage. The only thing I think could make it better would be the installation of a John East MMSR preamp with sweepable mids, but other than that, to all intents it has the feel and tone of a nice early Stingray. Do I think it's better than an EBMM Stingray? Certainly better than some I've owned 👍 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beedster Posted 2 hours ago Author Share Posted 2 hours ago Having just bought a stupidly expensive and very very rare dream instrument, I'm happy to take offers on this for a week or so, after which I think I'm going to put this and a few other basses on consignment sale which seems to increasingly be the easiest and most trouble free way of doing things (sadly) 👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
