    Thanks!

    It's all about the basses! The new models include:

    Ray34CA-BK
    Black w/ maple neck & fingerboard, tortoise shell pickguard. Same specs as before, 2 band Classic active preamp, Classic voiced hum bucking pickup, ash body, maple neck w/ maple fingerboard. A killer color combination that we had many requests for.

    Ray34CA-VC
    Vintage creme w/ maple neck & rosewood fingerboard, tortoise shell pickguard, Same specs as before, 2 band Classic active preamp, Classic voiced hum bucking pickup, ash body, maple neck w/ maple fingerboard. Another killer color combination that we had many requests for.

    Ray34-BLSP
    Blue Sparkle!
    This seemed to be the hit of the show. The sparkle has a large flake which really shines and stands out. Same specs as our standard Ray34 (Ash body, maple neck & fingerboard, 3 band active preamp, hum bucking pickup).

    These will start shipping mid February.

    But what does you Ray34ca dream about? Hmmm?

    Both of those two new 2 banders are making me crazy, aaaaaand, narrow neck profile.

    Dang, I'd be on those if sitting down with a slab body didn't make me feel like I was being jabbed in the rib. I've tried a Thunderbird before and that thing literally hurt. Can someone assure me it's not that bad on the CA series? But oh man, that neck profile is a wonder.

    Bud, If it's ANYTHING like the classic..you won't miss the bevel. That's just my opinion. Think of a doughnut..no edges. Mmmm doughnuts. It's won't hurt, no sharp edges. Smoooth...and Yes..that neck..another 'game changer'.

    What MK said. I'm used to non-slab bodies but the body on the Ray34ca is dead comfy. I never think about it at all.

    The Blue Sparkle looks exactly like the color I had my EBMM Sterling refinished in. Beautiful. I don't like the matching headstock though
