    Where’s “plays like butter”? 😃

    As I'm in the US every other month, I recently discovered the Musician's Friend website, and more specifically, their "Stupid deal of the Day". First day I subscribed, the daily deal was a brand new Sterling Ray 34, reduced from $899 to $450 for one day only. I ordered, it was delivered a couple of days later (with a nice Ray gig bag), and I was surprised how well setup it was straight out of the box. The roasted neck is especially nice. I own a "real" Stingray at home, but this will definitely help with my US noodlings. I was actually surprised how similar the Ray34 is compared to the Stingray, and it made me realise that after 35 years of playing, this was my very first brand new bass! Not sure how useful this website info is to anyone outside of the US, but might provide a bargain or two for anyone stateside.

    Ah that's very sad news. I bought and sold and bought again with Nick, and he was always a lovely bloke to deal with. Condolences to his family.

    I bought Chris’s Yamaha BBPH recently, and it was immaculate - this is someone who really looks after their gear. I remember seeing this one in the corner of his music room and thinking how cool it looked! Horribly tempted by this myself…

    I’d definitely be interested in a BB1200/S.

    I just bought BTS7’s Yamaha Peter Hook bass, and I couldn’t be happier. Nice guy to deal with, the bass is immaculate, and a nice smooth sale. What more could you ask for? Thanks Chris 👍

    I never realised how useful fret markers on the side of the neck were until I played a bass without them.  Shortscale too.  I sound like Les Dawson playing the piano.

      @GlamBass74 do you have a link plz? I could do with some of those but I've been wary of getting the wrong thing.

      These are what I use. 

       

      Make sure the neck is clean and grease free before fitting.

       

      I've lost a few dots at gigs, but there's plenty on the sheets. Different sizes too. 

       

      They're not hugely bright but they definitely help! 

       

      Only 3 odd quid so worth a try!

    I'm pleased to say that this has now found a very deserving new home. It'll be with the new owner next week when I'm back from my trip. I know it'll be used and useful, which was my aim out of this. Thanks to all those who showed interest. I'll keep checking the garage and music room to see if there's anything else going spare...

    I'm actually getting far more interest (and messages) than I anticipated on this. Have to say though, without sounding like a d*ck, if someone already has 12 basses, and are actively buying more in the For Sale section, I'm not going to give this to them - they can afford to buy their own. My idea was to help someone out who perhaps couldn't afford this, or to donate it to a music-related charity. As I mentioned in the (edited) post, I'll leave this to run until Sunday (I'm in the US with work at the moment, so 5 hours behind the UK) and then see what's what.
