Mine is probably the only faulty one of the batch. The bridge / nut are out of line, and the output is very crackly. I could fix it probably, but they have offered to send a new one and pick it up! If there is a bad one, you can guarantee I will get it.

All the ones I own are bought unseen as EBMM basses are usually awesome out the box, especially the setup. My one Fender is stunning and I was bloomin lucky. As long as you have a return policy, it doesnt matter!

Sorry for the OT , back to budget p's[/quote] Fine thanks Pete 2 in one go, then my old boss offered me a position as well so hopefully I'll have a choice until my legal career commences in Aug 2012

White plate! Nice bass

Anyone got any close up pictures of the strings over the pups and the nut? Looking at mine it seems the nut is flush at the top but not at the bottom (g string)...can't tell if the G is off angle. Anyone?

Mine is at home waiting for me!

Stunning basses. Probably the easiest smoothest 5 string bass I've played. I had been eyeing them up for over 10 years, and I finally decided to trust my instincts, ignore the hype on new 5 string models from the latest companies, and managed to get a very very light 5 HS model.

Totally depends on taste. Alnico is warmer, more vintage sounding like a Ray 4. The ceramic is in the Sterling and now Sterling 5s and is more modern, brighter, more aggressive.

I specifically asked for one via email with the bag and cable/strap, and I asked for rosewood. My sonic blue bass should be with me on Monday! Mint. My guitarist just mentioned (now I've joined my old band again) that they've literally just got endorsed by Orange. Now I'm excited!

IMO, lovely, but the MIJ basses are getting to silly high prices now. Ive had one, and it was a belter, but id not go so far as to say it was as good as a MIA, (obviously a good MIA) and nowadays the prices are getting very close. Back when I bought mine, the MIJ was probably the equivalent price of a MIM.

Thanks! I knew if I waited id find a new p copy for cheap, ordered the Sonic Blue...perfect for the upcoming hardcore punk tour! Cheers. Ps - Bog off £300 new CV Squier!!

What is the normal stock CV P pickup like?

Now I want a Classic Ray again.

Hmm, at that price id definitely try as many as possible. Test the Berg, see if you like it. Plenty of other options, although as mentioned id probably also recommend trying GS112s or DB112s.

Budget? Roughly?

Im sorry I cant make this, but I imagine its going to be an amazing tribute to Si/Old Git. RIP Si.

Hardcase for storage and transport unless I can keep hold of the bass during transport, then its the Mono Padded Lightcase.
