'Floozy 'Ray (in da house)

[oli@bass]

...and let me tell you she's not only a classic looking dancing queen talking with silky smooth voice but pure earthshaking thunder! Fat bottomed girls make the rocking world go 'round!


Thank you Matt!

Wooow!

Looks fantastic!

What kind of wood is that beautiful fretless board? Looks like kinda dark RW?

Green, brown ...very interesting combination!

 

[oli@bass]

The fretboard on the standard fretless EBMM basses is Pau Ferro.

 

[the unrepentant]

nice!
may i say i have always preferred the original dargie, and that's a great example! I'd love to own one, some day.

 

[Duarte]

Beautiful. Just stunning. I just love fretless Rays, and this is a looker.

Well, this one looks not standard to me, sorry!

 

[Big Poppa]

those dargies sure move around!

 

[Grand Wazoo]

Those fretless basses are a timeless classic, regardless of the colour.

 

[GreyDad]

Good grief that's a beauty

Well doen Oli - MF I don't know how you could bear to part with it...

 

[five7]

Oh yeah!

 

[drTStingray]

That is some bass Oli.

Pl forgive me cos I'm probably showing great ignorance in the face of Dargie officianados here -but is that martini glass with olive in a non standard position - I thought the LE type fretless had the marker at 12th fret. And I never knew the marker had a green olive - incredible attention to detail, those EBMM guys eh

 

[Grand Wazoo]

That is where it appeared on the fretless ones.

 

[Powman]

That thing is sexy...you could make love to it its so beautiful.

 

[drTStingray]

That is where it appeared on the fretless ones.

Nice - I never realised.

 

[FunkyPunky]

...GREAT pics, Oli

btw: Ist das echtes Stäbchenparkett? Sehr schick

 

[oli@bass]

Thanks everybody, she's such a lovely lady... I'm going to take her with me to practice tonight... can't wait to hear her in band context.

@FunkyPunky: Das ist tatsächlich echter Parkett. Macht sich gut als Basshintergrund...

 

[Kirby]

Congrats Oli! That is one beautiful bass! I saw that one for sale, but was not brave enough to go for a fretless without lines. My string bass playing days are long past.

 

[oli@bass]

Kurt, don't be afraid of the unlined board! It's so much fun... (at least as much as it is intonation trouble )

 

[MrMusashi]

if you practise in the dark it wont matter if the bass is lined or not

that bass sounds like its been made for you oli!
dargie, fretless, hh, sr4 and of course a limited edition.. congrats!

Good god! That (mostly) blank fretless looks sooooo good against that green body.

Pl forgive me cos I'm probably showing great ignorance in the face of Dargie officianados here -but is that martini glass with olive in a non standard position - I thought the LE type fretless had the marker at 12th fret.

The answers above were partially correct. Actually an unlined fretless only had the one single martini inlay, but if you got a lined fretless it would have a full set of martinis just like the fretted basses.
