    Thanks Sean, I'll check now. 👍

    Thanks mate, good to know. I'm really looking forward to eventualy getting one and knowing that that sort of money is ok reassures me. I've had a few MIJ Fenders and they were incredible so wouldn't doubt the quality of the Grecos and thankfully I can 'afford' it so don't have to go down the Chinabacker route.

    Thanks, will have a play with that 👍

    Mainly because the foot switch seemed to have become pretty noisy, and it was annoying me 😅 Perhaps I should just look at fitting a new one, IF it is the foot switch and not a symptom of another component failing.

    Off to see Volbeat in Cardiff tomorrow, Dogma at the Thekla in Bristol in May then Metallica also in Cardiff in June. This will be mixed with all the tribute bands i'll be mixing throughout most of the year so get a good mix of it all. Actually i'll be seeing Dirty DC in Weymouth in a couple of weeks as well, can't forget that one, i'm being paid to go 😃

    She's great, I've got a few of her albums. Haven't seen her live yet, but I think she's touring in the UK in January so I'll be grabbing a ticket.

    That sounds like a good deal. Greco Ricky copies from the 1970’s were pretty much the top of the heap back in the day. Arguably, they were so good that Rickenbacker took action to stop production, hence the term “lawsuit basses”. Prices are creeping up over time. I’ve seen them go for up to €1000 in Japan, so your “all in” price seems favourable. Whatever, the quality of the Greco instruments is outstanding. A Chinabacker is a poor comparison if you don’t want hold out for a 2nd hand 4001/3.

    There’s a thread on the Basschat Market Place section called What’s It Worth (or similar). Although, you may need to be a subscribing member to access it.

  25. Peejay started following Oiled finish - advice appreciated
  26. Peejay
    How do all I've just got hold of a really nice German made Adler PJ body from @Aidan63 (top guy) that I plan on using as my first bass build. There isn't a massive amount of grain in the wood but enough for me not to want to cover it with paint, so I'd planned on an oiled finish. I've never done this before (or built a bass either) and don't want to screw it up so would welcome any advice that's available. Having read lots of articles there seem to be several alternatives - Tru Oil, Tung Oil and others - and I'd rather not have to apply nitro lacquer on top if at all possible, so I'd greatly appreciate guidance, whatever is available. Also, what other materials will I need, including grades of sandpaper? Cheers Paul

    Hi Sean, that's very kind of you, yeah, if you'd care to share that'd be greatfully obliged! Cheers, Matt

    Thanks heaps Blue Moon! That's all good to know, there's one that I'm looking at that I think would cost about 900-1000 euros for a Greco RB 700 landed with all fees paid. I'm just a little unsure as to whether that's a good or not so good price, as in, am I better off waiting to see if something similar comes along here, on 'Rickenfakers' Facebook page or else something in the EU? Cheers again for the info!

  32. Chienmortbb
    Let's get some perspective, not every bassist needs a P Bass. However, if you only had one bass? P Bass. Why not a Jazz Bass? Body shape, more unstable on a stand and single coil pickups.
  33. Paul S started following Does anyone gig with a shortscale?
  34. Paul S
    Yup. Sold all my longscale basses a couple of years ago and moved to medium and short scale, mostly short scale. So they are what I gig with. Well, up until my band folded earlier in the year, anyway. I used whatever took my fancy from Gibson SG, Gibson LP Jnr DC, Eros EB-3, Danelectro Longhorn, Fender Mustang, Harley Benton Shorty. With no band currently or on the horizon these are now mostly gone - just the HB Shorty remains of my short scales.
