Okay, after trying out a Classic, it's not a feeler anymore. Bongo 5HH Dargie Delight II for £1600 (taking a loss here) or trade for a Stingray 5 Classic (maple fretboard). I'd throw in some cash for the trade as well since the classic costs more.

The Bongo's mint, although I play it often, I only played it in my room and I clean it after every session. No scratches or dings on it.
I really love this bass, both the looks and sounds. However, in terms of the music I play, I need the Ray's tone. Can't afford to have both, haha.
PM me if you have an offer. I'll consider it.
