I need to find it for you! Tony[/quote] Yeah..... that'll help with the GAS !!! look forward to seeing that !

Hi Guys, prompted by very valid comments made when I put a feeler out to sell the Neck off this Bass due to the impending purchase of a Status Graphite neck, I've decided to see if anyone wants to do a trade for a Black Ray. I bought this from a Friend with the opportunity to try befor I bought..... I really wanted a Black Ray but was very impressed with this instrument and it's an amazing looking instrument in [b]Radient[/b] Red Sparkle. (thanks Dub) Will do a deal for a Black 3 Band Ray, not bothered which neck it's got as i'm going for a Graphite Status Neck Would sell for £650 if no deal on a Black Ray.... here's some photo's taken this morning..... bit grey and overcast so the sparkle doesn't really stand out too well, best I could do this morning with my cheap camera ! The Bass is 100% mint..... with not a single mark anywhere on the Instrument Cheers Mark

I'll keep this thread as a feeler for now.... thinking about it, I'm really Gassing for a Black Ray with Graphite Neck so I think I'll end up keeping the Ltd Ed neck and when a Black Ray comes up I can swap necks and sell the LTD Ed as a complete instrument.... Suppose the ideal would be someone with a Black 3 Band Ray looking for a 2004 Ltd Ed Cherry Red Sparkle as a swap !! LOL ! Sounds like a whole new advert !!

[quote name='BassManKev' post='288571' date='Sep 21 2008, 04:02 PM']be careful mate, i considered selling my stingray 5's original neck when i upgraded, but decided against it as it would seriously effect the value of the stingray. only sell it if your gunna keep the ray and its status neck, id at least wait until its all fitted and your happy with it. you'll lose alot of cash if you sell the stingray with the status neck in the future[/quote] Hmmmm...... possibly not bad advice ! Especially with my track record of buying / selling basses Although with Stingray prices under pressure..... and the "Average" Ray going for around £700 on a good day, how much is there to lose ? What would a Status Necked Ray be worth.... ? I know Kiwi's went for a stupidly low £500 on here 18 months ago but surely it's got to be worth more than that ! Stingrayfan's lovely Black Status / Ray's gotta be worth min £550 ATB Mark

Hi Chaps.... I'm seriously considering changing the Neck on my 2004 Ltd Ed Musicman Stingray to s Status Graphite neck..... I'll be using the Hardware from the neck to put onto the Status..... so i'll have a mint condition Musicman Neck (Rosewood / Black Headstock Gold Lettering) sitting around doing nothing.... So..... if anyone wants to upgrade their SUB / OLP or change from a maple to a Rosewood this would do the Job ! Hope to order the neck tomorrow so it could be available as early as next week..... Cheers Mark

I wish I have enough gigs to justify this...... I really miss my DB750 & DB410 somebody buy this befor I start GASSING and blow up !!
