Sire - do that sparkly one in fuschia like the bongo and you'll have a winner. Light blue also looks great. Black/Grey though..... 

Yes, I've been there and regularly get hit the same way. Down to one and just scrambled a second. 

Its the way it goes at the moment, get yourself a giggable, cheap second hand bass that's good enough to gig (Harley benton spring to mind) and you'll be fine. I'm gigging in a wedding band and 2 tributes with really cheap bass and it works just fine. Once youre back on your feet then the basses will come rolling back in. 

And the SUB that was made in America, with American parts and was almost an American stingray but not quite and definitely not a SUB that was made as a completely different cheap model elsewhere with completely different parts and body... . Honestly, they're baffling!

Ray 4/5 = 2 EQ/ceramic humbucker

Ray 24/25 are 2 band EQ/ceramic

Ray34/35 are 3 band EQ/Alnico

 

I had a couple of HH Sterling models(Ray34 and Ray35) The switching on positions 2 and 4 gives both inside and both outside coils) 

You've still got the bridge humbucker on its own so yes, just extra options (edit: which do all sound different)

 

Weirdly, just to show how mad it is, there's different version of the ray 34s as well

I know a guy that does vinyl work and based in Sale, just outside Manchester. If you wanted a flashy printed design he is brilliant at that sort of thing as well.

If you can pass me his details that'd be great, thanks. 

I tried to figure it out once....... 

I'm still non the wiser!

If the cost of respray is too high you could also look at vinyl wrapping, may be cheaper. There's been some threads on it in the past. Just a thought/ option.

Great idea, thanks. I'll have a look, that might save a lot of hassle too.

Hi all, 

Does anyone know anyone who sprays bass bodies? I'm north West based, but I don't supposed that really matters if I can post. 

I'm just looking at changing a cheap bass into a flashy looking one

Do you own the Digbeth 500H? Ever since getting my Digbeth Preamp I’ve become obsessed with it and the way the “tube” drive sounds and feels so genuine. I keep looking at the 500H and the 410 and telling myself I must resist any purchase.

Yes, I own the 500h head and the 410 DBV vertical cab. 

Love them! 

Yeh, get the right one for the right job. Plenty of decent fixes out there now. 

I've a vertical 410 and love it. 

It much much easier to wheel than you'd think. Lots of handles too if you have to carry. 

Perfect comprimise for me. 

Laney Digbeth.

The most convincing tube sound out there. It also plays like a tube amp, the more you dig in the more valve like it reacts. 

I tried the hb mm84a straight into our desk (no preamp) at practice (switched the preamp pedal off) and the sound is brilliant. I really can't believe it. 

I've also been playing it through the Digbeth all weekend and it's so good. 

I'm getting worried as it's quickly becoming my favourite bass.... 

Cheap multi fx pedal. Zoom 60b or 4on etc

Sold

Why are they paying him a fortune?...... Well, we are talking about it on here aren't we... 

There's method in their madness

If I had the money, I’d buy it back. Great pedal that I’m missing a lot. Unfortunately nothing of mine is moving at the moment. GLWTS.

It really is fantastic. 

I'm in the same boat - wouldn't sell, but needs must. 

I've just put mine up (not from the recent sale) in the effects for sale section £250.

For sale my Boss Sy300 synth pedal. 

I bought this a few months ago and use it in our INXS tribute. 

Its a superb pedal. I've never noticed any latency etc the response is immediate. And the sounds superb. 

Its also so much more than a synth pedal. It's a modeller, a tuner, has routing options, and clones of popular chorus, delay, distortion, drive, fuzz, modulation, tremelo, wah, compression, stereo - and much much more - as well as a fully packed synth and all it's parameters. 

It has lots of banks to store in as well. 

Its in good condition. Runs on a 9v adaptor. 

Collection Leyland Lancashire or can post for £10.

Hi all, 

For sale my Vintage V4 precision bass in fiesta red. 

Lovely sounding with the Wilkinson pick ups and an excellent all round bass. 

As new, bought and only used to set up and put on new rotosound swing strings. 

Grab a Xmas bargain. 

Collection Leyland Lancashire 

I've a lightly used one of these if anyone who wanted one  lost out and didn't get one? Just make me an offer. 

For info they are light years ahead of sy1 and other pedals I've used. 

They also have a tuner, and loads of modelling pedals for drive, distortion, chorus, delay, fuzz etc etc on top of the synth sounds. 

Harley Benton MM84a and gig bag. And spare battery
