May I have a NUMBAH Puh-leeeeze?
Thanks!@B-Mac Granted! That's an excellent list of instruments. #656
I actually got mine off Ebay seller NOS. Was VERY leary, and expected the worst
'till I received it. Packaging was top notch. It actually WAS brand new with quality
gig bag and cellophane on the guard. Untouched. Quality build and set up like I've
never seen and certainly not "from Indonesia". All the points you'd judge- frets,
bridge, board, electronics, finish, neck gap etc. Can find nothing but highest quality.
Plugged it into both the Trace and GK rigs and the tone is amazing with a growl
unlike anything I've ever heard- a sound all it's own. I own '76 & '88 MM Rays and
recently MM Stingray5 H Piezo. The 35CA amazingly enough ranks equal position.
Now discontinued, maybe folks were afraid. Highly recommended "keeper".

Looking at this amazing collection again. Which basses are in this picture? Some of the headstocks aren't in the picture.
