In perfect conditon no marks etc. Has never been gigged. Only selling as im just not playing much. Model: Ray5 Body Wood: Basswood Body Color: Ruby Red Burst Satin Bridge: Fixed Bridge Pickguard: Black Scale Length: 34" (86.4cm) Neck Radius: 12" (30.5cm) Frets: 22 Frets, Medium Neck Width: 1.77" (45mm) at Nut Neck Wood: Hard Maple Fingerboard: Jatoba Fret Markers: White Dot Markers Tuning Machines: Open Gear Truss Rod: Single Action Neck Attachment: 6 Bolt Controls: 2-band Active Preamp Switching: N/A Pickups: H - 1 Ceramic Humbucker Strings: .45-1.25 Gig Bag: N/A Would prefer local pickup or meet up, within a reasonable distance of Birmingham. £345 with padded soft case Thanks

What would be your bass gig of choice from all of history?
KingPrawn replied to Bilbo's topic in General Discussion
I’d go for ELO ABBA -

See recent response. As bass players do you think we could make it sound better? Or does it have to be wood?

Completeley understand the reaction. I think hes a guitarist. Do you think you could find its sweet spot?

YT channel with very accurate and simplified tabs

Quality Matt Love the no nonsence approach. Clear view of neck and view of finger style/ plectrum. Great you used a variety of basses. I was wondering if a fairly new player stumbled on the site, would it be benifical to add your tone options or effects used to create the sound? For example 'walking on the moon" A newer player might appreciate a link or something? Just a thought. I really wish you the best of luck. Good for you -
Once I got over the initial “wtf” moment. I’m thinking why not? If this bass were used on a song I’d heard. Would I know it wasn’t a traditional looking bass?

Basses and guitars as furnishings
KingPrawn replied to Barking Spiders's topic in General Discussion
I saw a bit of a wayne Rooney documentry once and he had several guitars hanging up. He was asked did he play? but admitted he didnt, he was given them as gifts from other famous people such as Noel Gallagher. I remember thinking what a waste. -
I yearn for the days of going local. In Birmingham when i was young, there was so much choice. Most shops carried a fair stock of new and second hand. the latter was the section i had to choose from. I knew everyone! They tolerated my stupid bass playing and lack of funds. They stuck with me until i earnt a few bob to spend!! It has changed and had to change. Its not just a stock issue its distribution and the market leaders buying up all the small guys and spitting them out. The market reflects consumer needs and choice. Im happy to go with both, However i do miss my wasted days learnig about gear and stuff.
