I think Steve realises that this needs to be played though....old fender or not, it's an instrument that should be out at gigs doing what it was built for!

I tried a Metro at the Bass Gallery in Camden and thought it was ace actually.....having said that it was only in a shop...at a gig is a whole other kettle of balls.
I tried a US Sad at a gig and thought it was very very average!

Having not read Guy's book on the boards here I can safely stay on my high-horse.......
I just hope Tony Levin doesn't find out I read a borrowed copy of Beyond The Bass-Clef
I never got on with my stacker I have to say, If I'd kept it, I would have taken it back to Vol/Vol/Tone....but then I sold it!
Si
Not to be extra cynical....but does anyway care about the name of a covers band? lol
They're all awful....so pick anything and run with it
Si
(I can say all this because I'm in a very busy covers band with a very generic name....it makes no difference)
Yeah I'm happy that it is what it is!
No dot at the 21st.....Serial number checks out around 1980/81 (won't remove the neck until I'm there or after purchase).
Yeah the strings I use currently (Newtone) go on my two Jazz Bass thru-bodies no problems.
We'll see...going to see it asap

[quote name='Bassnut62' post='910908' date='Jul 31 2010, 06:42 AM']There's a thread running in this same forum titled - who's gonna buy this.
Someone posted links to the 3 pre-EB Rays in this thread[/quote]
Cheers for that
Si
What are the three on eBay?, my very brief search only came up with a black '78 at £1800 (too much), and a natural one in America with bidding around £500
Cheers
