We’ll see - I want a 5 and I wanted a ray 5 for quite some time.
Im going to live with it for a bit, songwriting sessions coming up, but also looking at other projects so might take only the 5.
Well, all being well - this arrives tomorrow.
June 1993 SR5
Teal - not 100% sure on pickguard, I’ve bought a black one in preparation.
It’s had a life. Hopefully it will have another with me. See if my five string playing “skills” still exist…
Guild Pilot and an affiliation with Ibanez were definitely in the running in about 1984-7.
Guild advert was 1986
The Ibanez was when he was playing in 1984/5
Also Hartke.
Just a shame it was all a bit late.
The law of diminishing returns.
the difference between a £75 Amazon starter bass and a good £400 Ibanez should be a huge difference…between the good £400 Ibanez and the £4000 Fodera will most likely be noticeable but less so.
Essentially you pay more and more for smaller incremental changes - wood choices etc.
It’d be interesting to compare that Ibanez SR300 and that Fodera I put up earlier…
I suppose Scott Devine did a similar thing with the Sire/AJ presentation…I thought the Low B was better on the Sire…but the overall tone was “nicer” on the Fodera.
