Details

I bought this direct and this is really a great looking and fun to play bass. I used it for 3 rehearsals and one show. The bass is in excellent condition. There is some streaking on the ebony board which I like but some people may not prefer. I will split the shipping. PP FF, Venmo, or postal money order. Please PM questions. 8.4 pounds. Trades considered for 5 String PJ, Berg HP, Berg 410, or GK Fusion 1200.

As someone who owns one of these AND a 5HH Special, this is the one to have. Believe me when I say these aren’t just for angry, aggressive tones. I play my DarkRay 5 clean about 95% of the time. It’s incredible.

The distortion sounds are fantastic, but I like the Darkglass pre better on clean tones than the MM 3 band in my Special.

Same here, I have a special, 2009 SR5, and the 30th anniversary Stingray 5. I play my DarkRay the majority of the time, and it gets taken to most of my gigs. In a 4 hour show I use the effects for maybe 2 songs, other than that it's all clean. Such a great clean tone, and you can't beat the white sparkle finish!

This is not a gimmick bass but rather a great sounding and playing instrument that has two built in effects. I love mine. You won't find one lighter or cheaper either.
