Stingray5

Hmmm, if you are absolutely, definitely, positively sure you won't need a fretted bass in the future, then I guess the Status neck option is the way to go and you get to retain the 'Ray5 as your (I assume) main bass. That said, I'd also be sorely tempted to go for the Ibanez (or Cort) option -- maybe also consider the Sire fretless 5, if you haven't already? I certainly agree that you should NOT mess with the fretted Ray5 neck!

Doctor, for the last year or so, I have had serious cravings for a Bongo bass.... what should I do? 😵😍

Just watching that myself. Yep, still no mistaking Chrissie's voice. I also caught ABC on Jool's Hootenanny the other night. Sounded good and thought Martin Fry still has a decent voice.

I'd Rather Go Blind - Etta James, Chicken Shack, Rod the mod, etc.

Best thing is to give the chap (Gary) a call or email/contact via the website. He's had one or two stores in the past but is now based at and works from home.

Three particular gigs from this year have been re-scheduled for 2021 - the first in Worcestershire in early March (which I'm not sure may still have to be re-re-scheduled!), another in Southampton in July and another in London around October time (date tba). Hoping to get some other pub gigs etc from around Easter onwards. Fingers crossed, of course.
