    Yes really, it works well, I own two other Rics but older and all stock this one gets played and gigged the most. You get some clank, it’s comfortable to play however you can get the P bass on steroids tone of the Grabber too. Funnily enough I have an old Hofner 500/1 knocking, around now where did I put my hacksaw.....😉

    Yes as I said the refund was quick and sorted out politely. I’m glad the bass was easily sorted out.

    I took the whole assembly off and got a custom surround made and put a Gibson Grabber pickup on it! I’ve also got a surround with a Ric 3001 pickup in it but the Grabber gives me more variety sound wise.

    https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.co.uk%2Fulk%2Fitm%2F273299538126 I bought this a few weeks ago and returned it. Although it is a very nice instrument neckwise the electrics didn’t work and it was filthy with ancient strings that were certainly not doing it any favours. The seller was ok and did politely accept a return but initially told me to turn it on as the actve circuit needed to ‘warm up for ten minutes’ I pointed out that the passive option didn’t work either. So if you do buy I’d ask a few questions first.

    Hi yes there’s been a bit of interest but nothing concrete yet - I want a UK sale and preferably local however I can post if necessary

    Lovely bass I’ve owned two however both had been modified with newer pickups and one had a Jazz pickup at the bridge. If my JV Jazz sells I’ll be looking at this, whereabouts are you?
  12. ash
    Yes I saw that one too very nice!

    Afraid not work commitments means I rarely travel. Sorry.

    I’m in Lancaster a bit far up North for you judging by your location 😉

    A lovely early Japanese made Fender at a reasonable price type bump. Still available.

    Thanks for the kind words Bassassin, I’ve always wanted the more basic maple necked ‘P bass version’ of this with the bolt on neck - this model must have been near top of the range at the time. I did have my doubts about the bling! 😀 I’m not open to offers on this and I reckon postage will be around £20-25 depending on how quick a service wanted. I would prefer pickup though.

    I got this a few months ago as a project it arrived with a burnt out preamp a knackered pickup and an unplayable action. I believe it’s a MIJ Force 40 dating from the mid to late 80s. There is a plastic diamond inlaid into the top horn for some reason - don’t know if that’s an original feature but it’s ..erm..sparkly.. There are lots of dings and dents and most significantly a big repaired crack in the headstock. When I bought it I was going to strip it and convert it to headless however when I checked it over the ugly repair was sound, the trussrod worked and now the bass plays pretty well. The electrics have been swapped out for passive - two volumes and tone, the switch is a dummy. The Jazz pickup is a bashed in one I had knocking about as the original was trashed. The neck is really quite nice and the hardware and through neck construction of top quality. It weighs around 9.8lbs. Everything looks original apart from the aforementioned pickup and preamp. I’m sure someone could get this back into a lovely bass with some time and TLC. No trades, pickup preferred but negotiable. UK only. Now sold thanks Brian!

    Some of the domestic models had the standard bridge as stock - I’ve owned some like this also I believe that the domestic models had the black pick guard as opposed to a tort one. It’s a shame it doesn’t have the original pickup.
