Bargain to be had...

Definitely worth the money, it'll easily outclass the Squier/Westfield and is definitely good enough to play for years.

The only possible con I can think of is it's resale value - Yamahas really don't hold their value very well, then again they are cheap to begin with !

I had a BB614 and only sold it to fund the acquisition of my Stingray.

Offering to post will definitely help you here... people might not be willing to travel far for a (relatively) cheap instrument. Postage should be about £20 putting your price to £170, still a good saving on a new one.

Let us know how it goes - i'm definitely considering one myself.

Thomann are very reliable and have great customer service, there shouldn't be a problem ordering from them .

Wow that's a stunner - worth every penny. 87 was it's first year as a 5 according to several sites.

I'd say it's a good choice - I loved the SR505 I tried.

Here you go.

I posted £10 to Mart for a Stingray pickguard, this was during the post strikes and it never arrived. I said to put it back up for sale as I didn't fancy paying £20 in total for it - he sent it to me anyway !

What a super chap !

I started on guitar when I was 18, got a bass about 4 months later.

I have 2Gb of RAM in my home PC, never use more than 50% of it, work PC has 1Gb and same applies..

I can't see you having any need for 4Gb, let alone more than that.

They list at about £600-£650 online, so £400-£450 sounds very reasonable to me.

Fender Marcus Miller Jazz or Sandberg Basic Ken Taylor..

Yeah that really bugs me with my Jazz - at least he redeemed himself with the Stingray .

Personally single cuts don't feel comfortable to me. I have played 2 Shukers (the doodle included), and though very nice, aren't for me.

Would you split them ? It might induce interest in some people with individual prices.

I do - but haven't got anything you want (mainly being the paper stuff that pays for things).

Moved..

These are £1250 new - this a superb price !

The NS series are US made, hence the Czech ones having Euro in their name (except the ReBop of course).

Yeah my '96 is a bit grubby - looks even worse when you take the strings off.

The dirt does seem engrained into the wood, thus I feel the very light steel wool might be the only option.

The Stingray 2EQ I find well suited - it doesn't distort the natural sound of the bass only accentuate it.

I've played a few Ibanez and been impressed, especially the SR505. The EQ on that was terribly powerful..

Oooh very nice Gwilym, what's the top ?

Here's my defretted Yamaha RBX775..

Dawsons is a bit dull. Expect standard Squier/Fender/Peavey/Yamahas and if you're lucky a couple of Stingrays.

SC in Salford is definitely the best around however isn't walkable from the city centre - can't really get there without a car.

Don't even bother with Forsythes, they'll probably have a bashed up dusty Squier Jazz at £220 and that's it.

I've played that Buzzard ! It's a tone monster - but that neck would be a handful for anyone.
