    Well I took the plunge and ezbass and I worked out a deal (helps both of us with GAS) so I'm now the proud owner of a nice Black Ray34 with a Black Pearloid scratchplate (collected earlier today), I have to say, my initial reaction is it's much better than the SR5 I had previously, I think this will be gigged more often than the 5 was - well pleased at the moment - the proof will be on Saturday night when I take it to next gig! Thanks for all the input guys.

    EZbass Feedback

    Thor replied to NoirBass's topic in Feedback

    Just bought a Ray34 from Chris, the bass is in really nice condition, thank you! Equally impressive was Chris's (now legendary) hospitality - the Espresso was particularly welcome after a long drive and very good to boot! An absolute Gentleman and a pleasure to deal with. Pete

    DIY Effects

    [quote name='Al Heeley' timestamp='1332198695' post='1584850'] Here's the finished unit with bicolour LED's lighting the base plate - red or yellow depending on the voice depth setting switch. Red LED's int he skull eye sockets pulse according to the rate set. Sounds pretty good too [url="http://www.flickr.com/photos/alheeley/6852106550/"][/url] [/quote] That is seriously cool - you should be well pleased! Are you taking orders yet?

    Thanks for your help guys - I reckon a trip to a guitar shop is in order! Would definitely like to try before committing to buy. Forgive my ignorance, do they come in different pup arrangements like "real Stingrays"? Off to ask Google...

    [quote name='ezbass' timestamp='1332677589' post='1591441'] The weak G string on all Rays seems to a bone of contention, but nothing a little adjustment of action or pickup height doesn't cure in my experience. Weight is another issue altogether though, all of the Rays I've owned have been heavier than anything else I've had, but on the upside this makes them really well balanced. [/quote] I really quite fancy a Ray 4 and I'm sure if I could set it up properly then I'd learn to love it! Does anyone have the weight of a Sterling Ray? Any other comments good or bad? Cheers for the responses so far - helpful

    Sold Alan my Spector 5 string, deal agreed on Friday evening, bass picked up and paid for on Saturday evening! A very easy transaction and a great guy to deal with - thanks!

    Hmm, that's a bit disappointing to hear - read some reviews over on talkbass (ducks for cover) and pretty much everyone rated them?

    [quote name='JTUK' timestamp='1332609714' post='1590711'] Don't play most of the songs mentioned anyway...but then again, I never ever know the lyrics to a song, just as I wouldn't ever listen to the lyrics on the radio. Lyrics are the last thing I'd connect with... so I couldn't rule out songs on that basis [/quote] Yeah, I can relate to that - used to know the first line to loads of songs as our guitarist/singer had a habit of forgetting them/mental block - so I used to walk over (during the extended intro) and shout in his ear!

    Hi All, Just tentatively enquiring what people's thoughts are on these? Had a 'Ray 5 previously which despite looking pretty, I didn't particularly get on with at all, I had always wanted to try one but when the opportunity arose we just didn't click? So having sold it around a 18 months ago, I'm getting a touch of GAS for a 4 string Ray of sorts, but didn't want to shell out too much in case I don't like the 4 either. I think the main "problem" with the 5 was the definite difference in volume across the strings - the G string sounded very thin & weedy compared to the colossal E&A strings, the D was slightly weaker sounding but OK on the whole. Also the weight of the 5 was pretty heavy and the thought of gigging with it - ugh! Just thought I'd chuck it out there and see what experience you'd had with them? Cheers in advance, Pete

    [quote name='clauster' timestamp='1332526207' post='1589702'] That's it!!! Thank you so much. Gotta love Basschat. Having lusted over the Battering Ram I was almost afraid to open the link in fear of the price, but that's pretty reasonable. It also has my ultimate pain-in-the-ass-customer requirement of switching the effects from parallel to series should it ever be needed. That'll be going from 1 pedal (I've never had more than one since 1989 (before that it was none!)) to 6 in less than 18 months [/quote] This looks to be just what I'm after too! Wonder if they'd do a deal for two of them?

    [quote name='garymilitia' timestamp='1332514733' post='1589473'] Rw but just re read your original post and you are after a fretless. Mine is fretted. Easy enough to do a DIY job though [/quote] Shame, I'm not sure I fancy defretting it...concerned about splintering/chipping the fingerboard....goes off to search forums re: defretting a bass. I'll have a think about it and pm you if I'm interested.

    Hi All, Up for trade is my Spector Legend 5 in Black Cherryburst. Ideally looking to trade for a Fretless Jazz Bass (MIM/Squier VM) with a lined fingerboard - to give me a helping hand The Spector is in reasonably good condition, probably 7/10 - I picked it up from a fellow Basschatter a couple of years ago and it had been gigged before and has since - therefore there are a number of light scratches around the bass, some buckle rash on the back, the worst of which is a couple of dings on the headstock (as pictured). It plays really nicely and has a great tone and a neck reminiscent of my Jazz V, it's just been restrung/set up (to my taste), fairly low action. Here's a link to the SSD website which has more information: [url="http://www.spectorbass.com/professional/classic5.html"]http://www.spectorba...l/classic5.html[/url] Anyway, here's some pics to peruse... Only reason I want rid of is I don't tend to gig my 5's anymore and I'd like to have a bash at Fretless. Should anyone want more pics of specific areas of the bass please ask, I would prefer collection - or perhaps I could deliver if the deal was right. Cheers, Pete

    Another Levy's fan here - very comfy and very reasonably priced too!
