  1. HI to find lefty RICK is REALLY big problem.I am right handed but I have problems with fingers on left hand /I am not able to "use" it on fretboard so I play as lefty...I play RH Rick as left.../you can see it here... it is on website I created and uploaded a month ago..in my Slovak language it is for Slovak and Czech enthusiasts.../ http://www.rickbass.rockerian.com/moj_mapleglo_lh.html And there is a video from RIC factory made by some guy from Czech republic where RIC manager Bruce Hall is saying that they will make lefty Rics again in next /2011 / year... As we all know it didn`t happen... Here is the video.. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IPiZlrr-OJw I bought LH Retrovibe from very nice guy from here several months ago... What do you think of idea to replace pickups and put SD RB1? I am not experienced at all I started playing bass a year ago... Cheers Jan
  2. Hi would you trade for Peavey T40?Very good condition all parts are original Is it neck thru?Not very important I am just curious... Jan
  3. My friend has one /black/ sounds nice, but not like a RICK at all...But it is definitely worth the price /I hope my English is good enough/ and the final result depends MUCH on strings...You can get very poor results but quite nice too..Friend tried about 5 different strings the best results seem to be with KEN SMITH strings but of course, all depends on personal taste...
  4. [quote name='rocker19' timestamp='1321370703' post='1438321'] But there is something I have to say...You won`t be able play standing unless you drill small hole for guitar strap and if you do that you will very propably have problems with balance...I converted my RIC but I play only sitting I can`t drill hole in such piece of art .. Friendly Jan [/quote] Hi At first HAPPY NEW YEAR TO EVERYBODY HERE.. I`d like to add something to this topic.I removed pickup cover from RICK a few days ago..I started learning technique which is I guess called in English FLOATING THUMB.And the result is this: It`s easier to play with fingers without pickup cover but worse with pick...The cover really helped much when I played with pick. So..that`s all maybe it`s interesting for someone.
  5. OK let me know the final price I bought Squier PJ Lefty /the same you are selling here but beautiful Antique burst/ from UK 6 weeks ago and postage was 30pounds /appr. 37 euro/.So if you agree I will buy the RETROVIBE for total price 280 pounds.So let me know.Friendly Jan ------------ oops..On the next day... I apologize but I cannot buy it now..My wife ...She is nice but she told me I would have to sell one of my basses /Iam selling Peavey T40 and RIC/ and THEN I can buy some bass.So as soon as I sell one of them and you still have it I will take it for 280 pounds final price. Friendly Jan
  6. [quote name='bertbass' timestamp='1323302883' post='1461931'] [font=Times]I’ve got too many basses that I don’t play so some have got to go.[/font] [font=Times]LEFT HANDED 8 STRING P BASS [/font] [font=Times]My 8 string bass started life as a new Fender Squire P Bass Special and after an injection of a bit of woodwork, Schaller 8 string bridge, Schaller machine heads, Schaller strap locks and a set of Rotosound 8 string bass strings ended up like this. Nice to play and an immense sound. A couple of knocks but nothing serious and a new set of un-played Rotosounds just fitted. I’ll be sad to see it go but it doesn’t fit what I’m playing now. £250 and I’ll throw in the postage or you collect if you want.[/font] [font=Times]LEFT HANDED RETROVIBE RICKENBACKER[/font] [font=Times]I bought this a few months ago and only used it as a spare. It only got used once when the strap lock on my regular bass wore through, it had been on there a long time, so it’s only actually played 4 songs. It’s still in perfect condition although I have changes the strap buttons for Schaller strap locks[/font][font=Times]. It plays very well and has a great sound. Looking at the Probass web site, [url="http://www.probass.co.uk/Home.html"]http://www.probass.co.uk/Home.html[/url], it would seem that are not going to be any more Retrovibes, especially left handed ones but you can hear sound clips and get all the details from them. Again, £250 and I’ll throw in the postage or you collect if you want.[/font] [font=Times]Hi[/font] [font=Times]I am quite new here I am left handed beginner player and I am quite interested .Iam not sure if I understood about postage..I writing abou LEFT RICK COPY RETROVIBE.[/font] [font=Times]So would you send it to Slovakia for 250 pounds or what price would you ask?I can pay with Paypal.[/font] [font=Times]Friendly Jan[/font] [attachment=94814:81.jpg][attachment=94815:82.jpg][attachment=94816:83.jpg][attachment=94817:84.jpg][attachment=94818:r1.jpg][attachment=94819:r2.jpg][attachment=94820:r3.jpg][attachment=94821:r4.jpg][attachment=94822:r5.jpg] [/quote]

  11. I think I could help I hope my English is good enough:-).So...I have recently did the same because I will never have 2400 euro for original Ric left.I bought 2 Ricks this summer /jetglo is going for sale I will put it here/ and I modified my Mapleglo to be able playing left.INTERESTING IS that usually hated pickup cover does very good job for me because I can put there my thumb if I use fingers or my wrist if I use pick.I can play with fingers behind the cover and I pick my Ric before it. Modification itself is quite easy the hardest part seems to be remove and flip/over?:-)/ the nut but it is quite easy.I did it twice /first on my Peavey T-40 for sale too-I got advice how to from Peavey T-40 AUTHOR Mr. Ch.T. 75 old man. Of course you will have to set up?/I hope you understand:-)/ the bridge/saddles/ which is easy and octaves. Here is incredible site these guys know EVERYTHING about RICs..And here is instruction how to remove nut. [url="http://www.rickresource.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=13&t=362553&p=362553&hilit=I+ordered+a+new+nut+from+Rickenbacker+for+my+4003#p362553"]http://www.rickresou...my+4003#p362553[/url] I hope that it will help you. A few words...Personally I WOULDN`T change Ric sound for some Ric lefty copy bass maybe LEFT IBANEZ would be good but it would never be RIC.And I think it is almost impossible to find left Ibanez RIC copy.Here is one: [url="http://www.pbase.com/deksawyer/ibanez_rickenbacker&page=1"]http://www.pbase.com...enbacker&page=1[/url] Friendly Jan
