  1. I bought a bass and a guitar from Ray.
    Good communications, decent packaging, all as advertised, and very fast - he went out of his way to get them to me quickly.

    I'd have no hesitation in dealing with him again. Thanks Ray :)

    But are they any good? I tried on briefly...... :huh:

    I bought one, one of the recent reissues with the silly curvy body and not-so-silly curvy headstock. I love it. It's not a bass guitar any more than a bass guitar is a double bass; it needs some learning, especially with being fretless and very short scale. But it makes a lovely noise :)

    That and about a dozen other basses have been listed and relisted by the same seller for the past few months.

    Perhaps trying to get a name for himself like our German friend

    At that kind of price he only needs to sell one every few months to make a decent living. Question is, is he finding buyers?

  4. I don't know the EDB600 but I have got a (luthite) EDC715 (five-string), which is not heavy IMO, and very comfortable because of the body shape.

    I have no scales so can't measure with any accuracy, but it's maybe a little heavier than my Yamaha BBN5 (five-string) and definitely lighter than my Vox Standard (four-string).

    Hope this helps.

    Yes it was :)

    Okay, let me rephrase that - you guys were excellent :)
    Venue was Blandford Corn Exchange, summer of 1980 or '81? The frontman had yellow hair (not blond), really tight-curled. Very, very exotic-looking, in that place and time - at least to me, I was young and innocent. I vaguely remember wondering at the time why the bass player sounded so English, or maybe so not-South-African.
