martthebass Posted March 20, 2009 Share Posted March 20, 2009 (edited) This is a feeler at this stage. I thought I had my bass collection well and truly sorted but then a change of band circumstances comes and rains on the proverbial parade. Due to this I'm looking to consolidate 2 really good 4 stringers into 1 exceptional one leaving me with just one 4er and one 5er (maybe then they'll be room for a mandolin squeezed between the boxes). The MIA P is one of the nicest P's I've played. Until this band situation I was looking to trade this for a fretless Jazz - that's a bit of a redundant thought now. This is black on black, a 2004 MIA model (with the redundant S1 - I just keep it in P mode) and is in great condition with just a couple of nicks in the headstock and some minor lacquer scratches which you'd really need to look for. HSC and case candy is intact. [b]I'd be looking for £550 for this.[/b] The Ray4 is metallic red (sorry don't know the paint name), a 2005 3EQ version with maple board. The neck has a nice flamed figuring which isn't always present on a modern Ray. I don't have the HSC for this bass so it would be provided with a new Warwick Rockbag. [b]Because of this it's collection or meet up only and £600ish.[/b] The condition is mint apart from a small lacquer scuff on the back of the lower horn whichwas there when I got it.

The P bass is also a fantastic instrument and once long ago belonged to me. Good luck Mart Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That Stingrays Very Sexiful Bond San! ...BUMP![/quote] Many thanks my Mancunian friend. After a lot of soul searching, I've decided that, for the moment this SR4 will be staying with me. If it was a pound lighter it it would be my ideal bass, but I guess that's close enough for Jazz - at least until I can identify that elusive something that could replace it. The P bass though looks like it will be changing colour and losing some frets.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
