No offense to the OP, but yours looks cooler to me. Both are fantastic, tho.
Thank you!
I''ve been a maple-neck fan all of my career, but the rosewood neck on this bass looks and sounds really good and is appropriate.
I was looking at a 6-month old 5-string Jazz bass today in the local music store that came in on trade an hour before I got there and they offered me a great deal on it. The salmon, err, SALESMAN (altogether now...NOOOOOOO!!!!!!....

) casually asked what other basses I had and I mentioned the Ray. He offered an even trade. You can guess my polite, but firm response..I still bought the Jazz. It's really nice and I'll be posting pics soon.
(somebody needs a new auto-correct really bad.....
