Anyone able to do this and get the correct finish.... just a thought?

I think ivory fret markers would have been better with the darker roasted maple boards.

I currently use the genzbenz NX2  212 cab and like it very much....doesn't do the sub bass thing but i was never keen on that, i much prefer a balanced tone which this does really well.....I must say, I like the angled baffle idea!

Used ibanez ATK 300.

Neck one or three piece, flat sawn , quarter sawn etc

Lovely!... what spec is the neck?

I too lusted after one of these.....only 100 watts but got the job done and, at a good volume if memory serves.  

Lovely, with it being natural, they have to use nice pieces of wood!....there are more snazzy finishes but you have to wonder what is under the paint.

Lovely bass, can I ask the weight please?

Bought a Ray back in 79 and had it ever since... absolutely love the bass....neck profile is lovely as ped mentioned....I will say though, full bass and treble is a no go!!.....I back the bass off to 7ish and treble to around 5.....works for me.

I regret selling my Wal 5 string mark 2.....not because i liked it that much, mainly for the price they fetch now.....When i bought the bass, i payed £1400 new and later sold it for £800 .

Just for info my sadowsky mv5 metroline had the same issue to a small degree ....(A) string off to the right side of the dots....neck joint was tight as a drum so I just lived with it.

You could possibly take the neck off, but it depends on how much wiggle room there is in the neck pocket to re-align the neck......i have to say, i have seen this problem a few times, also on the usa ones...Also seems the basses are very heavy of late!!.......I think Lakland and Cort should pull their socks up. 

Well, Dave did used to work for Overwater Basses....nuff said... beautiful job btw.

Chay bought my Elwood 5a bass....super quick no hassle payment and a pleasure to deal.....top basschatter

Welcome, fairly local as i am in Spennymoor.

Lovely that is!....can I ask the weight please?

Bump, pm's replied to.

Greetings lovers of the low end!....Up for sale is my killer Elwood 5a ( £1700 new )  the bass is in first class condition and sounds amazing....no chips, dents or missing finish....specs as follows:

• 21 fret maple (quarter sawn)?? neck with graphite rods and ebony finger board....jumbo frets...you can't see fret ends, so maybe black binding....
• Two-piece alder body ( chambered) with lovely Zircote top.
• Gold hardware with ets knobs along with individual bridge saddles
• Aguilar DCB pickups and obp3 preamp with pull passive and toggle for 400 hz and 800 hz midrange....bass / mid / treble 18 volt
• Bass weighs in at 8.5 lbs so not too light, nor too heavy and hangs well on the strap.
• Scale length is 34.25 and string spacing is 18mm

Will include UK shipping in with the price at your liability, or you can arrange your own courier and have it picked up......NOTE, bass will be well packed.

Cheers for that!......i would rather pay a little more for a perfect fit.

Just wondering, other than MM and WD does anyone else do replacement scratch plates for said bass?..... cheers

I replied to Dan's wanted advert and sold him a aguilar pickup.....total hassle free, thoroughly recommended.

Met up with Norm to do a Musicman trade, my lovely Stingray classic for his equally lovely Stingray special.....Had a bit of a chin wag about basses ( is there any other subject ! ) and have to say

he is a thoroughly nice guy and a credit to Basschat.

Thanks again Norm

Do these fit usa jazz deluxe 5 ?

Anyone considering buying an Ultra should buy this as in my opinion, they are a better bass...
