I've found one on FB market place but it's miles away in Clitheroe but a good price but I've found out it's 25 years old!! What do you guys think?

I have dunlop strap locks on my Slash Les Paul. I was bending over at a gig and the top one let go. Les Paul face down on the deck Luckily no damage but I don't trust them anymore. I don't know why it failed Mainly used schaller ones most of my gigging life

I hit 50 a few years ago and realised I don't have to take this sh!t anymore It's liberating Well done Andy you'll feel so much better. Just doing the stuff you love with great people around you Get your groove on sir

I will mate definately

sounds like it's the Ampeg then similar price new

wow, that's very kind of you I'm in Kent but do travel about a bit

yes, this is what I've read do we know about reliability?

I mt up with a fellow bassist the other day, I bought a Rick higain pickup from him. On my clank journey he was telling me about his Ricks and amps He played me a clip on something he was working on, plugged into a V4B. It sounded amazing Who has experience of both of these amps please, I feel it should be the Ampeg all the way For my tribute gigs when I'm not supplying PA and lights, I would consider one of these amps your thoughts my learned friends

It's a shame and as a JHS endorsee, where will I get my strings from now The MD is past retirement age but was still working when I last spoke with him. He was, in fact, the rep that visited the shop I worked in back in the last 80s early 90s Also a shame for the staff, I know what it's like trying to sell a business and sometimes it's just easier to close it down but it leaves people out of work Good luck to the staff and to the MD in retirement

Here's some videos I think I'm there or there abouts

9th good for me too just over two hours away

I'm the same. I would take my hb to an audition if I thought it the right thing. If they were snobby I'd walk

Yep i think thats sort of true with some people

I've recently commisioned a Rickenbacker 4003. It's awesome and it says Rickenbacker on it I really don't care I have one of my U2 basses made from parts and the neck says Fender Jazz bass, in the old fashioned TV logo (but it has dots, so obviuosly wrong) There's not really a right answer unless you're trying to rip somebody off

absolute class. Love it I'm so pleased for you all

Have had a custom made Andy Crockett 5 string but sold it Ibanez MC 940 and because of the Police tribute a natural and a red P bass. sold the natural one but still have the red one, although it's got a fretted jazz neck on it atm, waiting to be painted gold sparkle for the U2 thing Will put the fretless neck on body routed for p bass and MM pickups at some point here's a pic of the custom bass. EMGs

ah so you have both pickups on are they full up? wide open tone etc? sounds good too, nice playing

When I posted about my 4003HW in a new bass day thread, there were many comments about the clank. How do you Rick users get your clank. Both pickups, volume rolled back on one of them? I'm curious, I like my bass, it sounds good but I've never really been a 2 pickup player. Always a P bass you see TIA for your top tips

I'm interested depending on whether gigging or not

I love it. I would buy the expensive one and gig with it But the sound doesn't really work for me, I've had Singrays and love them to play. Pino is one of my favourite players

I might tell 'em who's coming next for example, 'IT'S WHAM! TIME' or after 2 or 3 classic 80s songs I might say, 'with all this going on, we need some Spandau' Just before the Bucks Fizz number I sometimes recount my audition with them but mostly me and the keys player are just laughing all the time

i watched the hyde park gig when I got in from my own gig. truly exceptional and Lee's bass playing.....what can i say?

thanks everyone, perhaps that's why they've never worked for me. I had too much relief. I shall embrace the clank

I've read that some people set their Rik basses up with no relief in the neck My HW has little relief and rattles a bit. Is this part of the clank that we all desire It plays really nice but if I dig in, (and I do, especially playing Jam songs) it gets a bit messy The bass is literally brand new ( I only ordered it 4 weeks ago) and will probably settle a bit, I have no prblem adjusting truss rods etc your thoughts please
