[Fat Bottom Kyle]

got one to match my other SDOTD blue burl Ray34. What a few weeks of Stingray discounts. Hot Dawg!

 

[Bassiclees]

Trigger pulled. This is a solid one.
Mine will accompany my Ray24 which I love.
Time to sell others… adios Sire V-3 5’r.

 

[robertusf]

I was waiting for the 5er ! Just snagged one

I'm returning my Fender Player V and picking this up instead. Thanks OP.

 

[Gsnorgathon]

Dang, that's purdy.

 

[Bassiclees]

@obvious1 your back thanks you. No more Fender 5’s for me they are HEAVY

 

[Jones64]

Any guesses about what one of these may weigh?

 

[Bassiclees]

Already have UPS tracking and Tuesday delivery. Will advise on weight.

 

[davedamage]

I had just started hunting for one of these and was about ready to pay more than that for a used one. That never happens. Should be here Wednesday.

 

[Sid the Kid]

Damn, I missed this one! That’s not like me. Hopefully they run it back!

 

[Bassiclees]

@Sid the Kid call them. They’ll likely honor the price.

When i ordered mine yesterday, I was trying to have mine held at a UPS center and I had to actually call in to get it all set up. The rep who worked through it with me said that they started the day off with 200 and had 87 left when I ordered mine around noon EST.

Thanks @Bassiclees
Just edited my original link to that one

 

[MazakCNC]

Just received this bass. Tuners are good, truss rod is good, and everything works the way it is supposed to. For me it’s a big win!

 

[Jones64]

For those who have already received one, I would love the get a sense of the weight as I am trying to stay under 9.5 pounds these days with some back and neck stuff. I have seen the Lobster video where he had one at 11 lbs. Thanks.

 

[obvious1]

looks like this deal is dead.

@obvious1
Yep. It was a typical stupid deal of the day one day dealio.
But, those deals tend to come back around from time to time

I can’t speak for the Ray35s in the ad, but I had an ash Sassafras Ray34 modded with a Delano pickup. Sweet bass. Beautiful. Very well built, solid feel. Sounded great with roundwounds or flats.
Was not for those watching their weight, though. Mine wasn’t too bad at 9.5-10 pounds, but it felt every ounce of it. Ended up selling it, not because of the weight but because I learned I’m one of those folks who prefer Stingrays with the 2 band EQ. (I have 4 and 5 string USA SUBs that do my Stingray work for me now)
