    The Tribute Kiloton is also a good bet. The passive, single MFD humbucker and three way switch sounds great. Also the J width neck, is for me at any rate, infinitely more preferable to the bigger neck on the L2K

    If a single H Bongo with 3EQ qualifies for the StingRay part, I have to say that I’m happy with my P-J-MM trio

    Thanks for that! Bass sounds great. More bottom end on tap than any of my other basses. Passive sounds really nice too. Keir

    Might need to try again in better light. These are the best I can get. iirc the Aguilar OBP pre amp on #42 was encased in a small metal box? also somehow the blend pot is on the wrong way round. Turning it up I get a load of mids which I am guessing will be the bridge pickup. Doh! been a really long day🥱
  5. dub_junkie
    Sorry yes blend not mids. there’s no centre detentes on the bass and treble controls and set at zero they sound similar to the tone and output when the passive circuit is engaged. Can’t see any branding etc on pre amp and there’s not much play moving the plate around but I got some pics if it helps any Incidentally does anyone know the whereabouts of #11, a teal green Vintage P5 with Norstrand pickups and black hardware? It used to pop up from time to time on here but haven‘t seen any mention of it in years.

    Just picked up this trans white Valenti which was for sale local to me. I owned the Basschat candy apple red #42 for around a year more than a decade ago now, so I know just how good Nino’s basses are. The seller was a guitarist and couldn’t tell me what preamp it has. A check on the Valenti archive doesn’t list the circuit either. Wondering if anyone can shed light on what it is before I have a look inside? Front to back it has volume/mids/passive tone (pull up for passive)/concentric bass and treble. Pickups are Aguilars according to the archive. Both pickup covers have hairline cracks running across the middle so guessing someone maybe over tightened them in the past. Otherwise the bass has no issues at all. Truss rod has the MM wheel and works fine. Very light on the shoulder too. Wondering too if any basschatters owned this bass previously? Anyway here are the pics

    Looking to trade my Bongo 4H. 2010 build. Colour is Ice Blue. Pickup has neodymium magnets and the electronics are 18v 3 band active EQ. The single H Bongo is discontinued now and some of the features described have since migrated to the post 2018 StingRay Specials. This example is in really excellent cosmetic condition (small nick on the lower horn) with no structural, electronics or playability issues. Bass is super light on the shoulder! One thing of note is that there is a colouration difference between the neck and the body which is more noticeable in natural light. The neck has remained blue where as the body has taken on a slightly greenish tint in certain lights. This is fairly common to Bongos depending on the colour. A while back I owned a white 4HS Bongo where the neck stayed polar white and the body turned a cream colour. This bass doesn’t have the MM hard case but comes with an official deluxe MusicMan gig bag. Ideally looking for a trade for a nice StingRay 3EQ (already sorted for a 2EQ Ray) Also open to trades or p/ex deals with other MusicMan basses. Your bass must be in excellent condition with no issues. I‘m in South Ayrshire about 30 miles south of Glasgow. Happy to drive a couple of hours to the border area to meet if anyone is up for it.(is it ok to do that at the moment?) thanks for looking! Keir

    That video was great. Really liked that👍🏻

    I was the original owner of the bass and took this pic of the bass just before I shipped it to Craig. Shows the figuring well. The Cort 74/75s are very slick imo. Great working basses that cover a multitude of tones.

    Bargain!! Superb bass for not a lot of dosh and Jerry is a great guy to buy from. GLWTS!

    Seen some of the Ibanez Premiums go for £600 or thereabouts on the classified’s here. A lot of bass for the money and enough left over for something else bass related? USA Fender Dimension is another one that regularly sells below their worth. I got one on here, a Deluxe HH 5 string for £600. Killed my GAS for another StingRay 5 as soon as I got it.

    Love this bass and wish I had the readies for it. Guitarist friend of mine use to own a Blade RH4 in a gorgeous see thru purple colour. Always liked their stuff.

    No experience of playing any with the roasted maple necks but did have a black cherryburst Ray35 which had a mahogany body and was lighter than the ash bodied honeyburst Ray35 I had at the same time. Logic says go for a used USA one but I was happy owning the offshore ones (having owned the full fat USA ones previously) They looked, played and gigged much the same. There was a natural Ray 35 with the roasted neck for sale here at the start of the year which I really wanted. Looked ace. Unfortunately I was flat broke and couldn’t get anything of mine shifted at the time.

    Gumtree. I think it was the same bass that was on Facebook marketplace at £400 a few weeks before. It was advertised at £333 on gumtree but after a spot of haggling, seller very kindly offered to do it for £300 including shipping. Came with a heavy duty Warwick rockbag too.

    Just picked up an Aspiration Elite 4 string too with the (I think) Wenge dark wood top. Battery was ever so slightly loose in the compartment and the bass was needing a set up but otherwise really chuffed with it.

    Paul bought my G&L Tribute LB-100 bass. A proper stand up guy and a total credit to this forum. Couldn’t have been any easier a sale. Deal with confidence!! Keir

    Nick bought my Cort GB99F bass. Great guy to deal with and made payment very quickly. A credit to Basschat! Keir

    Those look great. Hopefully one day.....
  22. dub_junkie
    Thanks Jerry! 🙂 Bass is now on hold
  23. dub_junkie
    Looks great and is the best look on a Ray imo. Must admit to liking the 2EQ myself.
  24. dub_junkie
    Actually arrived today. No issues apart from a slightly loose battery compartment door. Shuts ok though. Plays and sounds great with loads of mwah
  25. dub_junkie
    A touch over 10lbs. Played seated...not so much🙂 Should also mention for those particular about their P bass requirements that the bass has a fairly large neck profile and has a 1.75” nut width
