    Folks, I have managed to pull together just over £500 towards a new Stingray, however I am running out of patience and having recently tried out one of the new Sterling Ray 34's I was very impressed at the closeness to the more expensive big brother and am now wondering if I should go for a lovely all black 34 model with the matching head I am hankering for which I pretty much have the dosh for right now or wait another few months for a new full on Ray, or perhaps dip into the second hand market for one now. My dream is for the 2006(?) special edition in all black with gold trim but they rarely come onto the market. Any Musicman experts out there care to offer some advice?

    I have been playing the bass for some 25 years and these days due to my old age can afford higher end instruments like Sadowsky's and American Fenders but having recently bought a classic vibe P for my 11 year old son I was blown away at the high quality the new wave of Squiers are excellent and much more than just a budget intro buy that they once were. I seriously think that these basses give not only the Mexican standards a run for thier money but also if set-up well the standard American versions, sadly their is a lot of Bass snobbery about the squier models even today people even go to the extent of losing the Squier decals, all very sad. These are great basses and for me no longer a bargain basement poorly made instrument. The new ones look good too, might even invest in the 77 all black VM jazz that is being released next month and I will be proud to have it along side my grand plus basses!

    Hi, Thanks for answering the question for me. To be honest I can't recall if its branded or not, I think it is, but I am not 100% sure as I am away from home this week so cannot check. I can confirm this question on Thursday when I return home; if you can wait that long, I can confirm that it is the original case and it still has tags with it from 1981. I am afraid the original tool kit has long gone.

    Aria Pro II SB700 in golden oak. This is identical to the SB1000 but the SB700 is a passive bass and lacks the active circuitry. It is a very playable bass and has the neck thru design of the best Aria SB's. On the plus side, it is quite a bit lighter than the SB1000. The bass is a 1981 model and comes complete with signed registration card signed by Johnny Joyce of Gigsville, who used to be the distributors for Aria back in the 80's. The bass will also come with the original shaped hard case. The bass is 29 years old and still plays fantastic with all the original electrics working and original knobs and switch. There are a few small surface marks consistent with a bass of this age and a small ding to the bottom edge of the body but nothing drastic. The frets are a little worn but as I say it is 29 years old. For its age is pretty much mint.The bass is currently stringed with Rotosound unsilked nickel strings. The pictures do not do her justice, she is a very warm golden colour unlike the more plain Oak finishes I have seen in the past. I really want to keep this but cash flow following my recent move up country mean she has to go. I am looking for £500 plus shipping. UK sale only. Cheers for looking.

    Fair play mate. Hats off to you for such a generous gesture. I have just donated.[quote name='Matte_black' post='859234' date='Jun 6 2010, 08:01 PM']I've put my personal bass for sale to help Mick. I'll see if the mods will allow me to post it in the "For sale" section since I'm not going to gain money on it (I'd give away 100% of the sale price).[/quote]

    Mick along with Steve Jansen and Richard Barberi made very little from Japan; David Sylvian did very well taking most of the money and plaudits (as per Micks Biog) Lets be honest he has all but vanished from the music scene in the last 25 years. This is so sad as I grew up listening and trying to copy his style, I wonder if his former band mates will have rally round? Wal certainly sold a lot of fretless basses due to him. I have mixed feelings over this, on the one hand you want to help - but thousands of other sufferers get no financial help bar the NHS (and we know how bad that can be) the last I heard Mick had upped sticks abroad a few years back so no doubt the NHS will frown at that too.. So so sad...

    Folks, Bought this babe recently from Nick, its a beaut but following my house move this week I need to recoup some funds. (I hope you don't mind me nicking your photos nick) Its a great bass and the only issue with it is a mark under the ashtray but is invisible with tray on. I am looking for what I paid, £350 plus shipping. Steve.

    Folks, Having just moved homes to Cambridgeshire this week in desperate need of funds for items I had forgotten to buy. So a few basses have to go sadly.... First up for sale is my Fretless Westone Thunder 3 in lovely Walnut finish. The flag ship of the Matsumoko Thunder range from 1986/87. I bought this fairly recently for £425 but probably paid a bit too much so a more realistic £325 for this tonal wonder.
