WOW, I had no idea (and never would've imagined) one of my videos was linked to on here as a positive example...I just happened across the link wondering who'd originally played it. Thanks a lot, now I know where a lot of the views must've come from.

Maybe I'll have to start looking at replacements, then. Thanks for the reply. Anyone else out there?

Hi, all. Got a question about my 2 Rays. I got the Ray35QM first, new in November of 2018...LOVED the sound out of it. Until I found a used Ray34 this year from 2010, with a MUCH more aggressive tone and stronger output. I still love the feel of the 35, but not so much the sound. I've...

1 - Epiphone Les Paul, 1990's 2 - Ibanez 5-string, don't remember the model number, probably early 2000's. 3 - B.C Rich Mockingbird (Import, "NJ Classic Series), mid 2000's? I now have 7, not including #1 (sold) & #2 (Um, had a temper outburst & had to break something). I don't miss them...

Not very diverse, but there are some differences. My oldest is an LTD C-305 5-string. Tone is kind of bland, could never get any sound I truly liked out of it. It replaced an old Ibanez 5-string that fell victim to my temper in younger years. Then there's the BC Rich Mockingbird import. Kind...

Okay, so I ended up touching another 4-string. As much as I love the Ray35, the string spacing isn't the greagrea for slap. Since that's not all I do, it's fine...I still love it to death. But I don't like my 4-string Jazz (or 5-string Jazz) neck much after the feel of the Ray35 neck for 3...

Do it! And post pics. :-) I honestly thought about getting a Koa, or a natural 34QM down the line...but that's if I ever go for another 4-string. In almost a month with the Ray35, I haven't ONCE touched any of my other basses. And in 8 or 9 basses over my life, I've never done that.

Just got my first (probably not last) Stingray 2 days ago...a blue Ray35QM. Gorgeous, plays like a dream. Wanted more tonal variety (almost always use the Fender/Squier sound), and love the necks on Jazz Basses (not so much Precisions). But I didn't know I was also getting a bass that FELT that...

Aside from the obvious "Pick the MIM up and play it" advice, which I agree with...I lean more toward the CV. My first Fender[-style] bass was a 2002/2003 MIM Jazz, which I got a couple of years ago. Did well, but never liked the sound/tone too much (bought it used on eBay)...even took it to...

Wow. Thanks for posting all of these. I haven't logged into TB since 2012, but after a Google search and finding this thread, I just HAD to sign in to say thanks. I'm finally leaving the combo amp world, got a separate amp this week & getting a Peavey 2x12 CHEAP. Love my amp but wanted a...

Just bought one 2 months ago...love it. My Mockingbird sees practically no time now.

A fairly simple/simplistic one. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jn72WJ9FcLI

I have an NJ neck-through. And yes, it's neck heavy enough to go straight for the floor as soon as I let go of the neck. Even with a wide leather strap. But keep in mind, it's probably not only the neck-heaviness. The top/front strap knob is a lot closer to the high end of the neck than I'd...

An Epiphone Les Paul, cherry sunburst. I also wish I'd never sold it.

Thanks for the responses, sorry for posting & not replying but I posted the question 2 days before leaving town on vacation. Well, it's only the nut that's stripped. A few minutes after I posted, I tried backing the nut OUT (counter-clockwise), & it worked. My dumb a** was trying to TIGHTEN...
