I have two 'Rays, both 2-eq from 1989 and IMHO - after having had 'Rays from every decade, like jsixties had, from pre-EB to current production. about 10 - 12 in total - this is the golden era. And they allow low action to a level that pre-EB or Classic do not (because of the saddles design).

[quote name='giblett123' timestamp='1419399006' post='2639545'] This one used to be mine (a long time ago), at this price it is a huge bargain, a great sounding and great looking bass and a little bit of history, well worth a punt for somebody! [/quote] Thanks giblett.

I will not be available from 31st Dec to 7th Jan (both dates included).

[quote name='fingerz' timestamp='1419113582' post='2636812'] Worth saying that if Bernie saw it he would do any TLC at a very very reasonable price. He loves seeing his old basses. Although a dusty pot isn't exactly a problem! Nice to see such honesty.. I love the inline controls on this bass, rather than the up to date Rumour format. Bump for a bit of history here. [/quote] Thanks for that. I always try to describe my basses as they really are, no surprises. As I said in the first post, it is not a museum piece (knocks, dings, cracks, chips in the finish, scratchy pots, maybe the D-tuner needs tuning, I have never used it.... ) but of course all cosmetic. Scars on the body (it's full size, not an undersized body) but nice glossy neck and satin fingerboard, both birdseye. At the moment the action is medium-low (probably low enough for most) but not as low as I am used to, because it's got higher tension strings on. I have tried to switch to a set of Hotwire 35-95, quite lower tension, and in this case the buzzing is there, because of less neck relief. But I haven't got the correct hex trussrod tool, all my other basses have either the bullet or the wheel. This is why I suggest a professional setup, to set it the way you like according to your preferences. And surely Bernie would perform wonders. The sound is obviously modern, and the EMG are known for that clear, crisp tone. So if you are looking for a more old school vibe, this is not it (just to clear any doubt, you never know...). I would keep it for what it represents, but I have accumulated six basses throughout the years (of which one in a different location) and very little time, this is why a piece of British bass-making history is up for sale. Cheers
