  3. Fair point, although I guess you could say the same about a Jazz bass. (e.g., Jaco style )
  4. Kodachrome - Paul Simon
  5. A Picture of You - Joe Brown & The Bruvvers
  6. That looks ace! Good luck with the search.
  7. Absolutely lovely basses! GLWTS.
  8. Up Where We Belong - Joe Cocker & Jennifer Warnes
  9. Hey, yeah, an engraved metal guard could work - even if it does add a pound or two to the weight of the bass! Hmmm, that said, I could fancy a mirror guard.
  10. Life in a Northern Town - Dream Academy
  11. Ah, the jazz group I play in may be one step ahead of you there, Jack, with our own weather-covering. Only thing is, it does kinda limit us to where we can actually play any gigs!
  12. On The Border - Eagles
  13. Yep, it's a simple mod, but changing the pg can feel like you have a new bass. As for the Sub4, like the rest of us, I've just been playing it at home. I'm definitely pleased with it so far and I'm really looking forward to eventually getting back to full rehearsals and gigs and putting the new kiddie through it's paces. (Not that I'll be leaving the SR5 at home -- that old girl comes with me everywhere! )
  14. If I Had A Hammer - Trini Lopez
  15. Thanks, folks, for all the comments so far. Really interesting to see other people's opinions. Ah, in fact the original plate on my fretless Stingray is black so thought I'd see if that might fit and see how that would look. That's if I can find the bl'min' thing! (For some reason, it's not with my various other parts and spares). I must admit, I don't mind the 'naked' look, either, and may even go for a clear guard at some point. Apologies for the queasiness!
  16. Don't Pay the Ferryman - Chris de Burgh
  17. How Can A Poor Man Stand Such Times and Live - Bruce Springsteen
  18. Thanks, Cat, that's absolutely fine and I thank you for responding. I wasn't sure who would go for what but it's interesting to see the original white getting the love, too. Nice thing is, I can swap things around easily enough if or when I feel like it. Or maybe I'll just put a tortoiseshell on there, instead!!
  19. Yeah, that Cruz teal is sweet, drT. I love it! I like both pickguards, too, though I'm drawn more to the white myself. My old SR5 started plain white but I put a white pearl on there many moons ago.
  20. @TheGreek Tbh, I've wanted a fretted 4-string Ray for ages (as a backup to my 5er and the fretless) but not able to go for the 'full-fat' version, I took a chance on the Sterling SUB. So far, so pleased!
  21. I just recently bought this Sterling Ray4 as a backup which, I have to say, are not at all bad for the money. I like the mint green but I knew I just had to change the plain white pickguard for a white pearl guard. (It's my thing!). That said, I also didn't mind the look of the bass without any guard (guess I could go for a clear see-through job at some point). But, for me, the white pearl just sets it off nicely. So I thought, let's see what the BC collective think. The original white? The white pearl? Or no guard? (Pics below and poll attached).
  22. Stinkfoot - Zappa
  23. Damn, that is one fine looking 'Ray! GLWTS 👍👍
