Macko1968 Posted February 5, 2011 Share Posted February 5, 2011 (edited) Skinny necks just aren't working for me so I'm floating this bass with the hope of bagging another Stingray. I have to admit that I have been won over by the Road Worn basses, the most impressed I've been with a Fender product since I played my first JV in 1982. Nicely put together, this one has that feel & the sound is seriously impressive, my original plan was to drop some Fralins in this but I liked what I heard from the stock pickups so they stayed. Having played a few CS relics the Road Worns get so close as to make the extra outlay very difficult to justify. I'm valuing the Jazz at what it owes me which is £725 (it has a well used hard case too) & will put some cash towards the right bass if needs be. Trade wise all I'm interested in are Stingrays, nothing else & even then I'm a bit picky. Ideally I'd like something with mutes & the metal battery cover - colour & neck is unimportant. Failing that I would consider a newer model but I'd prefer a rosewood board on one of these because I hate the anaemic maple EB use these days. I'd also prefer a solid colour or a 'burst - again, I don't dig the metallic finishes EB are currently offering. Condition is not a prime concern, as long as it's not been ragged to within an inch of its life. Of course, if God loved me, then Rasta would sell me back the 'ray I stupidly sold to him last month . Not asking for much am I? . I do like the Jazz & will keep it for messing around on but I figure the right 'ray will see much more use in my fat hands. Piccies up tomorrow when the sun's back up.

Macko1968 Posted February 5, 2011 Author Share Posted February 5, 2011 Doh! I have a fretless 'ray & can't hack 5 strings . If you can get a go on a RW I think you'll be impressed by it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martthebass Posted February 5, 2011 Share Posted February 5, 2011 Played one a while back in Electromusic, very nice, very un-Mexican (not lazy or feckless at all). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
