  2. [quote name='Geddys nose' post='1254799' date='Jun 2 2011, 11:19 PM']These are true tone machines and IMO are built/sound better than a real Ric.[/quote] Yep it really has great tone and is a wonderful player - still interested in trades - especially 5 strings or vintage synths! Cheers

  4. [quote name='daz' post='1250814' date='May 30 2011, 09:18 PM']Man thats insane. Its a lovely bass that id buy in a second if i was able to. John Birch was a real artist.[/quote] Yep it really is and JB was a true craftsman!
  5. [quote name='The Twickerman' post='1251150' date='May 31 2011, 10:09 AM']That is not in dispute. The fact remains they can remove whatever they want, whenever they want, from their site. They are not obliged to give a reason. Even if you proved the point in court, that it was not in breach of their rules, they'd still not have to publish your advert on their site.[/quote] Yes - I'm afraid eBay are a law unto themselves, this is probably why John Hall gets so frustrated with them and uses the little guy - in this case yours truly - to make an example of and flex his comparitively weak corporate muscle! Having had a fair bit of communication with both Ric and eBay about this matter I now realise I'm in a no win situation. The fact remains however that John Hall did contact me personally to explain his point of view whereas eBay suspended me and sent an automated response.

That Indie is dicing with death, the Rickenwaffe's wrath will prevail!

  9. [quote name='LukeFRC' post='1237524' date='May 19 2011, 10:35 PM']how is this still here? How does it sound with both pups full on?[/quote] Classic PJ, a really punchy sound with the best of both worlds ie plenty of growl but with an articulate mid range thanks to the SD Jazz pup, the tone control has an incredible range for a passive bass.
  10. For those who can't pick it up and have asked yes I can ship within the UK either Parcelforce 48 or with your own courier. There is a gigbag but no case.
  11. [quote name='LukeFRC' post='1237502' date='May 19 2011, 10:18 PM']...[/quote] Ha Ha a Magrittenbacker!
  12. A real bargain folks!
  13. Just to answer a few questions - the neck is approximately 43mm at the nut and 64mm at the body pocket, the neck is quite shallow and even up the scale. It's very playable and the laquer has ambered nicely with age, it's great to play and deserves [i]to[/i] be played. The markings are all there on the neck and pocket and yes the finish is original. It has two raised pole pieces at the 'A' string and there are metal plates (brass/copper?) under the Precision pickup. The link will show examples of these basses.....

  15. [quote name='lee650' post='1235426' date='May 18 2011, 11:18 AM']That would make a great companion to my OW JV jazz, these basses are fantastic, and his ones going for a song- bump[/quote] Yep it sure is a nice one!
  16. [quote name='Mr. Foxen' post='1236002' date='May 18 2011, 05:22 PM']RIC is a tiny corporation. That is why the man himself is replying. That is why not that many people putting some effort in can make things a real pain in the ass for them if they want to be dicks about it. This weekend is free listing, send around pics of your bass to everyone and we can all list it. Maybe he'll have a nervous breakdown.[/quote] Sadly I can't list anything as punishment they have barred me from selling....
  17. [quote name='krispn' post='1235017' date='May 17 2011, 10:30 PM']Is this the one you were thinking about the gold p/g for? It looks just delightful as it is Now if only I had the cash type bump...[/quote] Yes and then I had to rethink due to my knackered (but truly wonderful) old analog gear!
