  1. Bought a used 70's 4001 in 1984 and initially loved it until I grew to hate it for it's idiosyncrasies. I sold it. Two years later I decided I really missed it so bought a used 4003. Loved it at first until I grew to despise it for it's idiosyncrasies. Sold it. Crap pickups, dreadful bridge, soft fretwire, bonkers twin truss rod system and questionable build quality did my nut in. To this day I'm really glad I sold them ...yet somehow really miss them and have come close to purchasing another a couple of times: I know if I had I'd have loved it before growing to hate it then sold it. That's Ricks for you. It's like a form of madness.
  2. Wow ... just wow. That grain ... I'd love this however, in practical terms the weight would simply destroy my ageing spine.
  3. Woah, gorgeous collection. Beautiful!
  4. Gorgeous and just as I remember them 😍
  5. Stunning! Alan's instruments are second to none.
  6. I've got to admit I agree with Doctor J on this. I dislike all of the configurations you've shared and wouldn't do it, especially given it's a Zon.
  7. I've seen the exact same issues as Lobsters on a Mexican Geddy Lee before. Fender QC strikes again. Bizarre: These instruments are agricultural and straightforward to build after all.
  8. I once saw the exact same issues with a Mexican Geddy Lee. Head Scratching!
  9. Man, there's no worse heartache than true love which has slipped through ones fingers. Hope you get a lead on this...
  10. Bass aside, what was your Dad's story? Obviously had fine taste in basses ...
  11. Breathtaking... I would have this in a heartbeat had I been seeking another acquisition. Great price and top seller.
  12. That looks like a beautiful example. If you can make it happen I'd snap it up!
  13. This exemplifies what happens when art, money and ego collide. Ironic that the upshot is Janek ultimately ditches his high-end Fodera on the presupposition of acquiring a high-end Wal Really interesting post nonetheless, thanks for sharing!
  14. I've been waiting forever for one of these to pop up in one of our well known emporiums as I would need to trade-in. The wait goes on. Stunner!
  15. Really lovely basses, high end and built to last. Great score!
  16. I'm genuinely surprised to hear this: Every Vigier I've ever owned had action so low it was practically underneath the frets!
  17. Have only ever owned two: loved the ergonomics and compact size - otherwise noticed no discernible advantages (tone etc).
  18. Impeccable build quality and ergonomics. Lovely bass. I've bought an ACG from gardenerben before and he's a great seller!
