  1. Not had this long but a 4 stringer that I want to 'bond' with has come up and this would need to be sold to fund it. It's a 2002 model, absolutely mint - not a mark on it. Matching headstock - again not even the normal top of the headstock ding to it. Comes with MM HSC - again in good nick. Time is of the essence with this so I'm pricing to sell - £775 - I'll even throw in set of EB Slinkies (new - unopened) and if the buyer collects, a set of Thomastik Infeld Flats. Cheers, Mart

  3. [quote name='MB1' post='445482' date='Mar 25 2009, 09:52 PM']MB1. ............... That Stingrays Very Sexiful Bond San! ...BUMP![/quote] Many thanks my Mancunian friend. After a lot of soul searching, I've decided that, for the moment this SR4 will be staying with me. If it was a pound lighter it it would be my ideal bass, but I guess that's close enough for Jazz - at least until I can identify that elusive something that could replace it. The P bass though looks like it will be changing colour and losing some frets....
  4. Having had a brief plonk on this beast yesterday I can fully confirm how truly awesome it is. If I wasn't such an 'average' bassist and could stop hitting all the wrong notes just because it doesn't have a head this bass would have been emigrating to the socialist republic of South Yorkshire as we speak.
  5. [quote name='OutToPlayJazz' post='444948' date='Mar 25 2009, 01:16 PM']I've had lots of other basses but for me nothing cuts it like an S2. Rich.[/quote] Except maybe a Streamline eh Rich? Rich is indeed telling the truth - just wish I could get used to headless.....
  6. Sorry mate - the only 5er I've ever got on with is a SR5 and I'm sorted in that repect. Thanks for the offer tho.
  7. Hmmm...I can see the Market is a bit flooded with rays and precisions at the mo so I'll give this one last bump before shelving the idea for a while.
  8. Cheers Rich. 'Flogging a dead horse (horses)' type bump
  9. A sort of 'I'm out for the rest of the afternoon so I'll bump this now' type bump.
  10. [quote name='MB1' post='441153' date='Mar 21 2009, 04:53 PM']MB1. Theres a naked bloke with a camera reflected in the Stingrays control knobs? BUMP![/quote] Bass Porn?
  11. Cheers Nick, you are a gentleman and a scholar.
  12. Cheers Chris. Something small and graphity Josh
  13. [quote name='Shockwave' post='438460' date='Mar 18 2009, 05:00 PM']Well. I got the strings, put them on... annd i cant get on with the scale length, I am too engrained in the 34inch way of doing things. So i will be moving this on. Its a real shame as its a really really nicely constructed bass. Really deep sound.[/quote] 35" isn't for everyone Rob. I perservered for months on a Lakky DJ5 before finally giving up. The SR5 isn't as versatile but it is so muh more natural to play to me. Don't look on it as a defeat. Also the low B on the SR5 seems just as good to me as it was on the 35".
  14. This is a feeler at this stage. I thought I had my bass collection well and truly sorted but then a change of band circumstances comes and rains on the proverbial parade. Due to this I'm looking to consolidate 2 really good 4 stringers into 1 exceptional one leaving me with just one 4er and one 5er (maybe then they'll be room for a mandolin squeezed between the boxes). The MIA P is one of the nicest P's I've played. Until this band situation I was looking to trade this for a fretless Jazz - that's a bit of a redundant thought now. This is black on black, a 2004 MIA model (with the redundant S1 - I just keep it in P mode) and is in great condition with just a couple of nicks in the headstock and some minor lacquer scratches which you'd really need to look for. HSC and case candy is intact. [b]I'd be looking for £550 for this.[/b] The Ray4 is metallic red (sorry don't know the paint name), a 2005 3EQ version with maple board. The neck has a nice flamed figuring which isn't always present on a modern Ray. I don't have the HSC for this bass so it would be provided with a new Warwick Rockbag. [b]Because of this it's collection or meet up only and £600ish.[/b] The condition is mint apart from a small lacquer scuff on the back of the lower horn whichwas there when I got it. Cheers, Mart
  15. [quote name='OutToPlayJazz' post='438688' date='Mar 18 2009, 09:26 PM']Nah, I wanna trade with him, then you can buy my Streamline, LOL! [/quote] Rich, Thought we'd agreed I had first dibs on this......give me warning, I need to sell at least 2 basses to buy it. One of them's a Musicman so that'd be 3 months to sell........
  16. I'll paint the RW neck on my 2004 P bass beige and add a couple of 1 pound lead weights into the body cavity if that'll help? Cheers, Mart
  17. [quote name='paddy mcbride' post='437754' date='Mar 17 2009, 08:20 PM']Hi mate you should contact ianrunci.....he has a great MIA jazz available FT and he's looking for a MIA P Bass. [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=43408"]http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=43408[/url] Paddy[/quote] Agreed, very nice......just I'm a bit of a 'passive' guy when it comes to Fenders, Cheers, Mart
  18. Very nice Rich. Unfortunately I don't have 4 figure spare cash lying around. Think the Mrs has spent all my cash on a cruise....
  19. [quote name='alexharvay' post='436116' date='Mar 16 2009, 02:16 PM']Keep it, I love my one of these. The best bass I have owned.[/quote] I know...it's one of those things I know I'd regret. It's just I hate leaving basses in the corner gathering dust. A Jazz would get more 'work' at the mo.
  20. PMs replied to - still available at the mo....
  21. Thought I'd have one last crack at a trade. If no takers I guess it's fates way of telling me to keep it.
