Nice example dude!

Cant handle the tone or the slapping, but each to their own. Some of us cant get along with Flea's playing, but thats what Id class as good slap bass.

Horizontal...if you are worried about it.

Where exactly?[/quote] Well, near the neck join there was a fairly large gap between the neck and body, (even my dealer and the importers were a little concerned) but not only that, there was a step between the neck and the body. Personally, I found it not upto their usual VERY high standard, so I decided not to keep it. Every Ray Ive had (in fact any EBMM Ive seen apart from some Classics) has had a flawless neck/body join. Ive seen some others with it and some without, (only the Classics).

Basically flat, or with a few tweaks of the mids. Few clicks of compression. I use the presets mainly for different styles eg pick/tubetone/lower input gain, fingerstyle/bit of compression/higher inout gain/tiny bit of tubetone. Still really enjoying this amp.

The problem is, in 5 years or so, if the company doesnt take off, only basschat or talkbass players are going to know what it is. So if you want to sell, people might might why they are having to pay such a high amount for something that still doesnt look 100% 'finished' like a 'normal' cabinet. Thats my view if it...im just cautious. Even thought BC and TB are busy forums, there are a hell of a lot of people who just buy what they like the sound of regardless of specs on forums, etc.

Normally they are orange. They did hhite last year, and they can do black as a special order. Orange or white looks the best and stands out. I would get an Orange slip cover asap if I were you. Helps look after it. You are in for a treat

Id say there is a place for both. I had 2 x 3EQ, sold them to get a Classic which didnt work out (and to get a SR5 which is awesome). I now have a 2EQ which is plug in and play, but I have a 3EQ on the way purely as its the sound I personally grew up on.

Nice basses. I woould have kept mine, but there was a fairly large step between the body and neck...not something I expected on a bass £1600 or so. I imagine they have sorted this out now though. I want a Coral Red or Mint Classic!

4 ohms and I would have had one!

A full bash is in order.

[quote name='dave_bass5' post='979225' date='Oct 6 2010, 11:03 AM']Its probably because your using a picture of my girlfriend :-)[/quote] Did you want me to bring a bass down for you to try Dave? I dont mind...as long as she is in the house.

I had one of these years back. I thought it was quite a 'trebly' sound. I couldnt beleive it was just a 1x10 (plus horn?). I managed to trade it for a decent value and not lose too much. I did like it, but realised it wasnt really capable of keeping up with an entire loud band. Good combo though, my first 'real' high quality amp/combo.

Is this the same guy who plays a fair whack of Chili Peppers tracks on various Rays/etc? I cant access it as Im at work, but if its the same guy im thinking of (possibly French) he is fantastic.

[quote name='Clarky' post='976821' date='Oct 4 2010, 10:54 AM']Thats standard - the non-aligned edge. My '72 Precision has that and is still the nicest bass I've ever played. Not an issue for me![/quote] That non-aligned edge turned up on a Stingray Classic I bought...is there a reason for it?

Arghghghgh amazing!

I think it would be no problem, apart from a 3-4 month wait, to get a 2 band Stingray with Pau Ferro board, in exactly that colour. Porbbaly be around £1200 new unfortunately. I imagine they are pretty rare second hand. I am actually thinking about trying fretless, and an EBMM would be exactly what Im after (not sure which bass yet). Is it difficult to learn?

I think in this climate it will hold its value for a definite. With it being one of the last German-made cersions, I doubt you'd lose anything. If the bass market has a u-turn, you might make a little on it in a few years, but at the moment it is flooded. Is a Ray fretless on your list?

Id like to try and get to see your band up in Newcastle actually...saw you with Alk Trio I think....few months back. Great live sound and hooks all over the place.

Im no speaker tech guru, but there is some information on why he used the PA type horn on the review. Its weird looking, I must admit...but it does look almost like its come from a hi tech factory and not by a very small cab manufacturer.
