    There is room in the case body cavity that allows the bass to slide forward by approx 1cm (see pic).  There is plenty of clearance around the headstock so any forward movement of the bass does not cause the headstock to hit any other part of the case.  I've not experienced any issues since I've had my Special.

    Ah ok. Mine too has a gap of about the same at 17th fret. Probably slides a bit more than a cm. Just wanted to check whether This was normal and that it came with the right case. 
     

    Thanks both for the replies.

  2. Does anyone own a stingray special 4 and it’s accompanying case? If so could you let me know your experience with the following query please. When the bass is in the case (open) - is there room in the body cavity to move the bass back and forth? I.e. the case moulding is not a tight fit. Would really appreciate people’s experience with this. 

  3. Must admit I’m tempted by this and fully admit I’m being seduced by the flea aspect, rightly or wrongly. 

     

    I’ve had 2 stringrays in the past and they were both of the utmost quality and workmanship. Not sure what it fully was, but I couldn’t quite get on with them. Maybe the neck wasn’t right for me and the tautness produced on the strings. Probably being too picky and I’m sure I will regret it one day. 

     

    So I’m intrigued whether this jazz bass configuration with a MM pickup will work better for me. 

  4. Mike bought an Xotic bass off me. We quickly agreed a deal and he paid exactly when he said he would. As a seller this exactly the sort of buyer you want! No fuss and straightforward! But more than it was just a pleasure communicating with Mike. He is a top bloke and like a few other people I've sold a bass too, I will hopefully keep in touch with him. Bass players are the best ;-)
