I've discovered the hard way that I'm a paid up member of the Precision fan club. So, to fund a purchase of the above I'm looking to sell this. I looked when I bought it and I think it is circa 2005. As you can see it's in natural with an unfinished maple neck (have the gun oil, Murphy's oil soap etc. to care for it). Its a great bass to play, sounds fantastic and the piezo bridge adds another dimension altogether. Strung with Chrome flats at the minute but there is also a new set of extra slinky's there if you prefer. Both will be included. Also included is a Black pickguard. As the title says, it is in 'as new' condition with absolutely no dings or scratches whatsoever. Thanks for looking. Edited March 1, 2010 by captain black
Musicman20 Posted February 19, 2010 Posted February 19, 2010 Nice! Ive never tried a Piezo Ray before.
captain black Posted February 19, 2010 Author Posted February 19, 2010 Gives a very 'acoustic', musical sort of tone. Nice when blended with the regular preamp.
Al Heeley Posted February 19, 2010 Posted February 19, 2010 Luvverley - bought the same model meself last year from another forum member, I love the zing you can dial in with the piuezo - it has a marvellous airy harmonic dimension you can't get with the standard HB only. Good luck with the sale. Have a gratis bump.
captain black Posted February 19, 2010 Author Posted February 19, 2010 Thanks Al, Some intresting trades offered but I think its readies I need really.
phil.i.stein Posted February 19, 2010 Posted February 19, 2010 amazing price. whoever gets this is a winner. BUMP
OutToPlayJazz Posted February 20, 2010 Posted February 20, 2010 Whoever scores this one will be getting an amazing bass. I bought my piezo Stingray from cd_david & it's immense, almost like having two basses in one. You solo the piezo bridge and you've got double bass tones. Blend the two and it's almost like a more subtle eight string with a bluegrass-esque twang. And you have the standard MM humbucker sound, too. Win-Win!
Quatschmacher Posted February 21, 2010 Posted February 21, 2010 Do you happen to have any sound clips of the bass? I'm sure I'm not the only one who'd like to know how the piezo sounds. Really interested to hear the comparison of piezo soloed, humbucker soloed, and the two blended. Have a free bump!
captain black Posted February 21, 2010 Author Posted February 21, 2010 Well, I haven't really recorded anything and my PC's just recovered from a Bloody Malware invasion and I've lost a lot of programs thanks to reinstalling windows. But I could reinstall Sonar and give it a go. Don't hold your breath though. Wonder if anyone else who owns one has any clips? Will see what I can do.

These were recorded just now, very quickly and sloppily. they were staight into my PC with the eq on the bass pretty much flat. You can get a real variety of usable toes when you do tweak the eq though. Sorry they aren't better.

captain black Posted February 25, 2010 Author Posted February 25, 2010 Gone at last. Thanks to all who showed an interest. Joe
