The bass was in excellent condition when it arrived

Luckily it came packed in a gig bag and was in great condition

Since a SUB is no long manufactured; finding one in excellent condition is tough & SUB's don't have a maple

Pros:Beautiful Guitar!

The sound is incredible, plays like butter, perfectly balanced, very effective 3-band EQ, stays completely in tune after hours of playing, and is just one solid bass guitar that has been very well constructed!

The tone on this is amazing!

3 band EQ is determined so it could maintain fresh sound and powerful tone

Ignore that it is made in Indonesia, it is a finely crafted instrument witha powerful tone

So I did some more research, and most people had good things to say about the Ray35

, I can't say enough good things about it

The bass sounds and feels wonderful, and I would recommend it to anyone looking for the sound and feel of a US-made Music Man bass at an affordable price.

Great price and delivered on time.

I'm having "odd" intonation issues, but I probably just need to do some better setup on it.

I was very surprised that this bass is this well setup, executed cleanly, and sounds very much like and EBMM

I honestly believe it IS the best buy

The RAY-34 is an excellent buy

What a beautiful sounding and aesthetically pleasing bass

The sound is incredible, plays like butter, perfectly balanced, very effective 3-band EQ, stays completely in tune after hours of playing, and is just one solid bass guitar that has been very well constructed!

I also paid more than the current Amazon price - but I couldn't wait for Amazon to release the guitar; all the reviews I read were very positive and owners were astonished at the price (as I am).

Guys, I can't stress this enough- as a bass player for over 20 years I can't give this thing a more glowing review

The action was perfect, the neck smooth as butter, even the contours of the body are extremely comfortable whether you're standing or sitting down with it

The fret work is the biggest fault ends are to sharp, other than that finish is good and sound is Stingray but the neck needs work .

Same smooth neck, a 3 band EQ which can hold its own, same killer looks to boot
