I am emotionally attached to a bass that's taking up space and I don't want any more

Cor! Some absolutely gorgous basses there! Those two 4-strings are very similar to mine, I think my one's just a lot more beat-up but does have the original 80s mute bridge. How much is it worth? I don't know. I don't think it's collectible as it's post-EB and doesn't have the original case etc.

 

I have to admit the idea of selling it with the option of selling / or swapping with the option of getting it back in the future really appeals.

 

The only bass I've played in the past few years in a store that I had proper lust for was a Singray 5 string fretless. Oh. My. Days. That thing sang and thought it was really REALLY hard to play (I'm not experienced with a fretless) it sounded incredible with rounds on it. If I'd had £1800 in my pocket when I was in The Bass Gallery, I may have walked out with that thing!

 

BTW here's pics of my 'ray

Well the same to you. The translucent red is a great colour for the Ray, although as you'll know I'm biased 😁. I still think you should keep it but I certainly wouldn't mind looking after that for you. 😍

Okay! That's good to know! Let me sleep on it, and you have a think as well and maybe we can discuss it. Cheers!

. . .  . or you could give it to me. I'm a lot younger than I look. . . .  really!

Hahaha good try. Joking aside, personally having a bass like that go free to someone who will appreciate what it is, is far preferable to selling it dirt cheap. Of course they could just sell it and make a killing but hopefully I will find a keen buyer.
