  1. [quote name='budget bassist' post='752071' date='Feb 20 2010, 07:09 PM']if you want a rick-ish sound, a warwick $$ probably wouldn't be the way i'd go.... ricks have a nice mid-honk, something my $$ doesn't really have that much of, at least get something with a 3 band EQ. Also warwicks don't really have "fast" necks... you really want to try before you buy with warwick, seriously. They're nothing like ricks or stingrays (i find both ricks and stingrays absolute pigs to play though, so you may like a 'wick like i do).[/quote]
    Oddly enough I found that my corvette $$ had one of the fastest necks I've ever played! Each to their own of course :)
    Certainly agree with the try before you buy though, they seem to polarise opinion (I just happen to be a lover of them)

  2. Just replaced the preamp in my streamer jazzman and as such I've got the old one hanging about.

    Please be aware that when I took it out the active circuit WASNT WORKING. I have no idea if it can be fixed, I just decided to replace it so it might be repairable I honestly don't know.
    Also have the knobs from it as well, although the top knob from the stacked control is missing so thats 3 normal knobs and the bottom half of a stacked knob. Gold. Not in great condition tell the truth. Oh and the switch for the series/parralel ooptions for the humbucker is dicky- still works but it wobbles oh so mightily.

    Anyhoo, all in I'm happy to call it £20+p&p. Bargain if you can get it workin again, and you've still got some Warwick knobs if you can't :)

    Versatile to say the least :rolleyes: Need to sort out one last grounding issue and then it should be my main bass. Making me consider trading the Ray for another Warwick+ a bit of cash and doing the same tbh, its [i]that[/i] good

  4. [quote name='tografox' post='725933' date='Jan 27 2010, 12:28 AM']My 2008 Leftie Rickenbacker 4003 Jetglo has gone walkies while in the care of a courier company.

    I would love to hear from anyone who has been offered an improbably cheap 2008 Leftie Ricky bass or has doubts about the parentage of one they have seen.

    When lost, it had a Pickguardian black pickguard and various other 'upgrades'. The original bits were in the case, so it may have been put back to original, but I have the serial number and there are a few other things that will show me that its mine.

    Went adrift in silver Rickenbacker hardcase with all the candy.

    The guy who bought it from me is very keen to receive it, so any help from the leftie bass community would be appreciated.

    Thanks in advance,

    Did this turn out to be the one on leftybass.com?

  5. [quote name='xgsjx' post='746745' date='Feb 16 2010, 12:43 AM']I've been reading this over the past 24 hrs (Inc other post), went to band practice when there was 3 pages here, come back & there's 8!

    It is a blatant attempt at fraud IMO but I do feel for him as he must have something seriously wrong with him.[/quote]

    oddly enouh the EXACT same thing happened to me :)

  6. link that works: [url="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=230437609217&ru=http%3A%2F%2Fshop.ebay.co.uk%3A80%2F%3F_from%3DR40%26_trksid%3Dm38%26_nkw%3D230437609217%26_sacat%3DSee-All-Categories%26_fvi%3D1&_rdc=1"]link[/url] :)

    Think if it sells for under 250/300 probably a good deal if in good nick. They're solid basses, not to be underestimated, had a 6er that was lovely :rolleyes: Think Linus can attest to the fact on 4 strings if i recall correctly!

  7. yeah already opened up the top this morning. Valves seems to be seated right. Found a wandering screw though which I tracked down to be from one of the circuit boards so now thats done... Annoyingly the rest of my rig is at the practise room so I'm gonna have to wait til Monday to check if its made any difference :)
