    [quote name='TRadford' post='609401' date='Sep 26 2009, 05:20 PM']Rough price for the fretless? I dont like making offers![/quote] erm...er...ah...well, I'm not sure how little i'd let her go for, but I'd like £280 for the beast. It's yoooneek, with good hardware, top notch p'ups and tonal variations, and I love the way she plays...shame I just can't play fretless for toffee!

    Quick sale needed on both basses, please make me an offer

    [quote name='ash_sak' post='606766' date='Sep 23 2009, 03:57 PM']I quite want this. It looks amazingly awful and like it has tooo many knobs.[/quote] i think it's like the ugly lass who suddenly looks alright after you've killed a full bottle of Jose Cuervo and had a few guinnesses to wash the lime down...you know you'll regret it in the morning, but it might be worth a quick fumble of her G-string as long as she doesn't cost too much, or have terrible neck-dive when hung from a strap

    Washburn bantham (xb500 from memory) 5er: my first 5er, tasty trans-red over nicely grained body. ding in the lacquer, but doesnt affect the bass and it cant be seen from the front. Very flat neck, nice low action, a bit of a tasty slapper! She stopped making noise when the battery clip became detached but it's a simple solder job that I don't have time for atm. [s]£100[/s] [s]£60[/s] £45 collected? There's a cuppa tea in it for you [attachment=33465:IMG_0211.JPG] [attachment=33466:IMG_0212.JPG] [attachment=33467:IMG_0215.JPG] There's also a gigbag I can let you have it in, if needed

    Bump for an awesome 'ray5 with all the punch you can ask for, and one nostalgic prior owner who wants to see this goin to a good home!
  7. phil_the_bassist
    beautiful!

    I've got a 'Ray5 with JE preamp I'm picking up next week, can record it clean or thru a variety of distortion fx if you'd like? Also have a Sandberg California 5 and Steinberger Synapse I can use too, if that'd prove helpful?

    I tend not to with the pub covers I was in, and the same with the Jam stuff I've just plowed thru...but all the funk/disco/motown stuff I've played I always still listen to, will always listen to, and cannot think of a situation where I wouldn't listen to all of 'em! Why would anyone take Master Blaster (Jammin') off a playlist?!

    I can vouch for the unbridled awesomeness of this bass...it was my first 'ray and if I had the funds I'd have her back in a heartbeat! Have a bump on me

    I have to admit, I'd rather someone put a ballpark figure and ask for 'offers around £x' so I know whether it's in my price-range, whether I've got appropriate stuff to offer as a p/x +cash etc etc. but other than that, if that's the way someone wants to sell it then so be it! *settles in to watch this thread unravel *

    I [i]swear[/i] I've seen that bass listed regularly with the same photo...just like a stunning mid-90's bright orange burst 'ray with the clear pickguard and maple neck which regularly used to pop up. I am probably wrong, but I'd want to see it in the wood (so to speak) before handing over any cash! Mebby ask for a photo with it and today's paper or something?

    Last Bump Before Ebay
  14. phil_the_bassist
    and now this is a I-wanna-shift-it-to-help-towards-my-CBT bump!
  15. phil_the_bassist
    It depends on what you've bought the bass for. I've made the decision to overhaul my 97 'ray with the birdseye neck by replacing the nut with a completely different colour one, fitting a new (non-EBMM original) pickguard and have a John East MM preamp with active/passive switch being installed cos I know I'll be keeping the bass indefinately...and hopefully by the time it's classed as 'Vintage', I'll be famous enough for it to have increased in value exponentially beyond the price of it if it had been all original!

    this is an 'I just wanna shift it quickfast!' bump!

    back when I was a spotty teenager, I caught Deeper Underground on the radio, and never looked back

    [quote name='Roob' post='575541' date='Aug 20 2009, 02:01 PM']Can I ask what the dimensions are? Am interested...if it will fit in a Fiat 500 Which is actually the girlfriends car, I can only just fit my 4x10combo and 2x10 in a Mazda RX-8 .[/quote] *gets gf's measuring tape* 25"x34"x15" Hope this helps!

    my ring and pinkie fingers tend to anchor themselves on the strings below the ones I'm playing... so if I'm playing the G, they're resting on the D and A, if I'm on A, they're on E and B...it helps mute any unwanted ringing too...
  20. phil_the_bassist
    point made, advice taken! cheers dude!

    bump for price drop/trades

    [quote name='rslaing' post='567004' date='Aug 12 2009, 05:24 PM']So an oil change and filter taking [b]15 mins to carry out[/b], would only cost £23.00p? Or is there a minimum 1 hour charge?[/quote] unless they've got a drummer changing the parts
