Here's the strap button picture as requested. As you can see the paint took a whack. The screw doesn't have any problems but the missing paint is giving space for the strap button to wobble.
Some people have been asking about condition of the Indonesian made instruments. They aren't bad. I'm not going to say they are going to out perform an American Musicman but they're going to stand up. The pots and fret work are the first things to suffer. But I will say that these aren't poorly made instruments suffering from stability issues or hard to repair defects. Not even close. Above are some pics where I lowered the action on the Ray34 to show how straight the neck is and Like I said fretwork could be better. But this thing will only buzz if I start really digging in.
Seeing most people that are contacting me are Canadian and America is getting a good deal due to the American exchange I'm going to help my fellow Canadians out and offer free shipping on any instrument.
Some offers (especially on the Teal Stingray) but surprisingly not many people interested in the in the 94 Black and Maple Musicman Sterling. Definetly the most versatile out of the lot! So price drop - $1100 Canadian ($950 American)
Ok. Sorries for keeping you guys hanging... Christmas belly coma and all.
The Ray34 is gone pending payment.
I'm pulling the 94 Black and Maple Sterling. Just too good of a playing bass to sell. Trying to even track down something remotely similar I'd spend at least $1250 American for a new classic when they're getting pumped out at guitar centers like cracked.
As for boxing day sales I can only offer the following...
Ray5 $300 ($250 American) shipping not included
1993 Stingray $1150 ($1000 American) shipping not included
If I don't hear any offers in the next 3 days I'm pulling these for interesting trades down the road.
