if that was a bit closer....

great collection there! i really like that alembic copy, lovely top on that

awesome stick a black thumbrest on there too

Yeah i totally know what you mean, i've gone from 5 basses down to just 2 in a few months and have bought and sold about 3 others just in the last year alone, and now i'm changing my amp up a bit, new head and maybe cabs etc, my rig is always changing!

sold him my musicman SUB bass, very easy transaction, even when i messed him about with the whole *should i, shouldn't i?" sellers remorse type thing! very nice guy!

how far is brighton from kent? you could visit GAK

i don't have a lawn either

sweet collection there

Awesome!!

nice one! i want to get a sterling one day, and mine would be exactly the same as yours but with an HH pickup config, truly gorgeous that 'wick is rather pretty too! you've captured my two weaknesses!

i hear the stingray is more aggressive sounding than the sterling. Also the sterling has a smaller body, thinner neck etc, my kind of ergonomics. I'm afraid i can't contribute much more than that though!

is this guitar base nottingham? never bought from their website but been into their shop in west bridgford and their newer shop in the centre of nottingham and they're a sound bunch of blokes. Wouldn't hesitate to buy anything from them.

not arrogant at all, most fenders come with crap bridges etc and don't get a lot of care taken on the factory setup and i'm not interested in buying, just wondering what the cost was in a sort of ball park figure if i decide to do something similar myself. I have a bit of a project going on that i should probably finish soon if i pull my finger out. If i get that done then i may look at something else like a jazz or precision or something.

I dont agree that a real stingray is worth twice that of a sub, but i do think its worth £100-200 more. IMO, of course [/quote] Really? i sold mine for £360 and i just saw one sell on ebay for around £295... you just have to pay what's sensible. Personally i wouldn't go much over £350ish

might i ask about cost? i wouldn't mind trying my luck with a jazz bass again...
