  1. I picked this up in a trade earlier this year, and despite it being every bit the instrument I expected it to be, it is more than I need with several budget basses I like and can happly gig, thus I have had to decide I would be better off with the cash in the bank for boring real life things (house, car etc). A few minor dings, nothing unusual for it's age and it has definitely been utilised in a live environment, but not carelessly. Sounds thunderous and I've had compliments from the band and Joe Public for the tone I had. This is a 2014 model with 3 band EQ and 5 way switching, it is also very light for a SR5 at 9lbs. The 5 way switching makes it a much very versatile bass, thumpy P sounds are totally viable along with the classic Ray sound. Current price for a new Stingray 5HH is about £2300. Collection vastly preferred (J10 M42) but can post for ~£30 with a few days notice.
  2. Wow those are ugly. Loosk like a 2 year old was let loose on them with the craft box contents. In the dark.
  3. I picked up a 2nd hand one for 230 quid last week. Definitely better than standard Epiphone bolt on. Gibson pickups seem pretty beefy too.
  4. I had one for a bit. Nice with flats, never rounds on these.
  5. Hofner Verythin.
  6. Build it and they will come or something.
  7. Wow, so bargain. Much cheap.
  8. https://shop.fender.com/en-GB/electric-series/american-ultra/ Count me in as underwhelmed.
  9. I'm still waiting...
  10. I have analysed my GAS over the last 15 years, and realised that there is no 'ultimate bass' for me that does it all. I like variety in tone and appearance, so have now got 3 main basses that should give me absolutely anything I need or want (Precision / Jazz / Stingray). Since getting part 3 of the above, the GAS has died down, but still find myself looking for something to GAS for - the thrill of the hunt etc. Despite the fact anything additional will very likely replicate something I already have.
  11. I bought a 2nd hand 2018 VM 2 weeks ago. It's taken me by surprise just how good it is. Easily on par with my old MIJ Marcus Miller sound a playability wise.
  12. I shudder to think how much he got for it. That said, Cash Converters have absolutely no chance of flogging it at that price. Even at half that probably.
  13. I thought the holes were reflected off something. Eeeek. I'd have to fill them and repaint the hole thing.
  14. It could be a MIM Fender, but why someone would remove the headstock logo is beyond me. The burst and neck look decent enough. Definitely not the original bridge/tuners/neckplate whatever it is. Glad you didn't pay £499 though.
  15. Or ask former for sale forum admins. Cough cough.
  16. Fallout Boy cover is cool. I tend to like any rock/metal covers of mainstream songs. e.g.
  17. I was quite sure of it being the Vintage until I zoomed in on the headstock.
  18. My god. That was better off unpublished... Aria UK look like total amateurs.
  19. Vintage V950
  20. I've had two L-2000 Tributes and sold both. Always thought they were great at the time, but suffered with the 'they aren't really popular' feeling. Also the L-2000 electronics never really made much sense to me, generally used it passive in parallel settings.
  21. Interview scoring is subjective and easily biased. I've seen band 7 roles be assigned as per my initial post.
  22. I know for a fact some NHS bodies advertise and interview external candidates when they've already decided which internal one will get it. And the post was created for that person too.
  23. Yes. I know.
  24. That brand name.. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ureter
  25. Very unusual. I wouldn't be surprised at all of this is nicked.
