Ohhhh, That Grain!!!!

Maybe we should trade necks then (I'm down if you are)? Mine is in PERFECT condition.

Wouldn't work out, mine is a Ray35

Anybody wood people know how to do a ceruse finish like this?

Yes. There are quite a few tutorials on YT. PM if you want additional info.

Cerusing is fantastic, and that bass is awesome looking. I actually cerused a bass last year with a mahogany body. Black over this cheap gold metallic wax you get at Hobby Lobby. If I did it again, I wouldn't cheap out on the ceruse wax, but it's a fun and surprisingly easy process. Some body dye, some cerusing wax, a little artistic flair...BAM!

Dang, Quad, that's sharp. I like the white to center your gaze but either way, it's awesome.

Would have thought a black pickup would have been the choice. Otherwise looks awesome to me.

I've seen that bass and it's a pity they don't make it in a 5-string version. But hey, I love my naturl ash StingRay5 very much too. Congrats on that beauty!!

NBD!

Just got this sweet Ray34 off of TBer TimBosby. Check out the grain on this particular example!

The original owner had swapped the factory black pup for this white alnico MM pup. He also had put on white knobs and a different (black) pickguard (with a Batman/Superman logo on it).

I swapped the in the original clear guard and installed some really nice, aluminum knobs that I had laying around from another project. I left the white MM pup installed for now as it sounds really REALLY, good!

Still amazed by the grain on this baby!

Congrats, the grain is amazing! It appears to be a 2 piece body. The clear PG and white pup should stay!

I agree
