    A pleasure to start this thread because Seva ( @realmasslove) sold me a bass tonight and made the deal super smooth and easy. Bass is just as described and it was nice to have a chat during the meet up too. Buy with confidence folks. Definitely wasn’t expecting to get a bass this week, but glad I did now. cheers Seva 🙏

    Absolutely, I have TI’s on my P Bass too, the tension is so low that the gauge is deceptive. Your Smoothie will be a low end beast when they break in 💪 And now back to the porn…. Loving the East preamp on my ‘95 Ray, which was a 2 band. With the middle at centre, the middle gets taken out the circuit so it’s like a 2 band in terms of the depth compared to a 3 band. The high boost switch is very handy too.

    They sound great with fists. I’ve had Thonastik, GHS, and EB Group iii and iv on mine, all sounded good but the Group iv have stayed on for ages now. Such a killer bass.

    Yeah, typical Ray tone is parallel. The latest Passive Rays have a high output neodymium pickup. The USA short scale has a 500k volume and 100k tone. The Joe Dart has just a 100k vol pot. I put an alnico pickup in my short scale, with 250k (audio) for both (like my P Bass) - my supposed logic being that the albino is not as bright as the neo, and on the USA short scale 500+100 is 600, so my use of 250 + 250 is near that 600 total but less bright perhaps. It was good, but I found the 100k seemed better for hearing a difference in tone when adjusting through the sweep. For me, the 250k needed to be much near the end of the sweep to be useful. Just food for thought rather than advice.

    +1 - the depth and breath in each note still astounds me on mine. Quite like that passive vibe, but still with the active clarity and punch.

    Phew…. No bad news coming your way then 😀 Looks lovely 👍

    Have you been told it’s original finish? Edit - Also, here’s the pots that came on my old one. Note the neater soldering too, which is typical. I wonder if your pot is original and/or desoldered at some point. The lacquer line on the back of the neck looks far too neat too, perhaps the head was resprayed and had a new logo?

    It seems fine, I once had a near mint condition and 100% original 1966 Precision with a ? on the neck too.

    Totally agree with Molan, plus around 68 was when the Fender execs started the real penny pinching stuff - my favourite being using up the old greens and yellow amplifier cloth wires on their instruments wiring. They just wanted all old or discontinued parts used up, and not to be ‘green’ I suppose… Great looking bass btw 👍

    Love these pups, and still have one in my “95 StingRay. This one can be used as normal (parallel), or in series or single coil too as I did a simple mod to use on the short scale EBMM StingRay I just sold. To use it as normal, just join the white wires together and the black wires together. Otherwise can be used with a switch for more tonal options. Comes with box - photos to follow.

    Sold a bass to Bernard, easy going sale with no issues. Cheers.

    I bought this beginning of 2020, occasional bedroom use only. It sounds beautiful, but I’m mostly playing through headphones and need to free up some cash. Though it’s the smaller version of the popular Blues Jr, I feel the tone on these is much purer. 15w Tube amp, with 10 inch Jenson speaker. Also comes with a cover, which was an extra £30….nuts price for a simple cover eh? Collection only.

    I’ve just left my this week job due to health reasons, and need to sell a bass as I’ve not yet got another job lined up. I listed my Lull P Bass recently, but couldn’t go through with the sale - so I am now listing this, despite it being my most played bass this year, purely because my other basses are more irreplaceable to me. - USA EBMM Short Scale StingRay. - Weighs a lovely 7.5lbs. - Ash body, roasted maple fingerboard. - Neodymium pickup, passive, push/push volume boost, parallel/single/series switch, and tone pot. - Comes with original hard case & key. - Comes with case candy and original bar code sticker that usually goes on the rear of the body. - No dings, just some marks behind the bridge where stings have been changed and the ball end has hit the body, and very minor and hardly noticeable marks described below, and pictured. Disclosure - Although the bass is all original, I previously swapped out (and now replaced back) the pickup because I prefer Alnico pickups, that meant I needed to switch out the pots too as the values were wrong for Alnico, and more suited to Neodynium pickups, plus I wanted to be able to bypass all the pots completely. I’ve photographed some minor scratches, only visible when the light bounces off the body, which are likely to have come from when I was tinkering with the electronics. Will probably T Cut out, but I can’t find my bottle. No offers please (EBMM prices are now mental, and not going down),. No trades please.
