    I have EB Group on my Smoothie, and EB Cobalt on my 2 band Ray, both 40-95 as I prefer the tone and feel of that gauge on Rays. Both strings are excellent, I probably just favour Groups as they are a more middle ground flat - not too modern, not too old school. I have Thomastik on my P & J basses, but for me those strings didn’t suit me on any Ray.

    Thank heavens for that 😂

    Love it 😍

    That £19 charge is insane. I was going to list a bass on eBay soon, but thanks to this thread those days are now over. Long live BC.

    Hats off to you, great collection 😍

    Very cool bass, awesome seller, doubt it’ll be here for long!

    Click on your advert to edit, and look for the ‘click to choose files’ then click on it 👍

    Oh yeah, it’s 5 string twin, almost! Hope all’s well pal
  11. Chiliwailer
    Sure is 👍

    Very nice bass - how can you resist not having the pair? 😊

    Not sure, I haven’t been on Disneychat since the Donald Duck scandal...

    It’s been a treat meeting Dave - he responded to a wanted advert I put up and has been a star ever since, great comms, quick delivery, and a genuine pleasure to meet and now know. Can’t thank you enough pal 👍

    £40 posted Now discontinued, this is a US made reissue of a ‘57 P Bass pickup, with the raised A string pole pieces. Bought in 2005, and installed in a bass since, so covers have signs of usage. Here’s the info: Fender Pickup 1957 Precision Bass Reissue, 19740 Raised pole piece at the A position The electric bass starts with the Precision Bass. The bass pickup that invented "funk" is still virtually unchanged today with the 57 P-Bass pickup. Made with Alnico 5 magnets and enamel coated magnet wire, this P-Bass pickup provides the humbucking punch and boom associated with the electric bass.

    I’ve had a few of these, sound immense with the old pickup. The cases are so cute too. Nice 👍

    Yeah it’s nearly there, more closer to a 70s style clinical Jazz if anything. As my neck pup is further forward that the Special, and with the way it’s been wired, it actually turned out much like position 4 on a HH Ray.

    lol! I had it done in 2005... Active / passive - 2 way switch for MM pups Precision / MM split coil / MM normal - 3 way switch MM pups - 3 way selector switch. Then normal MM 2 band EQ and stacked vol/ tone for the Precision pup So it’s a little bit like a Ray, Precision, Jazz and Sabre all in one! ... hence why some of my basses are now fearing the exit... 😳 😂

    Bought back my old ‘95 Ray recently, so here’s a photo with its mates, a Special & Old Smoothie. Edit - now also pictured with the ‘95 restored to original.

    Cheers, that post made me smile too, too true 😁👍

    I hear that, this one was a killer too in the weight dept. Since around 2 years after i bought it I’ve had permanent damage, and whilst not directly caused my the bass, my stubborn devotion to it added to the issues. Happy to sit with it though 😍😂 Hope you find yours 👍 I was emailing the guy I sold it to annually until 2016, since then been hoping to see it every time I’m on BC or eBay - was literally like a 4 year old a Xmas when I saw the listing on Thursday!
  24. Chiliwailer
    You’re 100% right, I really wouldn’t be able to. I’m fortunate to have re-purchased a couple of selling regrets, but this one feels beyond fortunate tbh 👍

    I’m out 😋 After many years fantasising about getting back my old StingRay, I saw it on eBay and just won it back. Huge sentimental value, bought as an 18 year old and was my first proper bass, used for 12 years with loads of good memories. Sadly sold in 2009 when I was having a hard time and made one or two bad decisions. I hoped to last the year in abstinence, but couldn’t be happier now 😁😁😁
