I didn't get a bite on my 3band 2005 Ray4 even at £570 recently and it is as close to mint as makes no odds. Needless to say it stayed with me - we all have limits. There is a point when the inherent value exceeds that perceived by potential buyers ^_^

Here's some I had taken while it was with me if they're any use Russ...

[quote name='martthebass' post='296346' date='Oct 1 2008, 11:21 AM']Hah, small world, think I may have seen you in dizzy spells? Hot Ice - long way down the line ended up as a trio with me and the guitarist and a new singer but we never worked as Hot Ice again. Let me know if you're doing anything local.[/quote] Well Parcel force 24/48/72/whatever finally delivered the G&L2500 that has replaced this jazz F'less. All I can say is that it was well worth the wait, this is a truely excellent bass and I hope that someone will prod me repeatedly with a big stick if I ever try to sell it.....

Had to choose between that and another offer of a Warkwick $$ in the end. Hard choice, i really liked the look of the Warwick, but you just can't go wrong with a Precision. Pretty much the definitive bass sound for me, if its a good one. I should really have gotten one in the first place and been been done, but my head was turned by the G&L. Did you manage to trade the Jazz? Cheers, Jake M[/quote] Yup, It's now in the safe hands of Essential Tension and his G&L L2500 should hopefully be with me tomorrow am. Think you made the right decision between the $$ and the P BTW.

That really is nice, my wife is so glad I'm skint.

Nice one Jake - glad you found something you like. I got an MIA P bass about this time last year just as a back up to my Thumb and Sterling. Out of the 3 it's the only one I have left and it gigs most w'ends.

[quote name='Rayman' post='296423' date='Oct 1 2008, 12:12 PM'] Best of luck, no-one's interested in mine.[/quote] I'm not worried - it's a great backup combo

So perseverance does pay off? Might put my GP7 back up.

Hot Ice, did you end up as a duo? UK Britpop, I once did a show case doing sound for an Abba Tribute show and there was a great Britpop band there round about late 90s there was also a band doing the Yates wine lodge circuit. I also worked for a few years as a bass player with a band called Dizzy Spells.[/quote] Hah, small world, think I may have seen you in dizzy spells?
