Interesting if you're a Ricky fan http://www.premierguitar.com/Video/20111207/1717/Rickenbacker_Guitars_Factory_Tour.aspx It's not all guitar related - some bass stuff kicks in around 12 minutes.

I think they are more of a home / studio amp (the clue may be in the title, lol).

That's the one - £102 seems like someone got a bargain.

Just spotted this, good condition SWR Studio 220 sitting at £100. Can't copy the link from here but just search & it'll pop up

I used to listen to them quite a lot but seem to have dropped off the playlist recently - will have to dig them out again

[quote name='lowdown' timestamp='1323114176' post='1459513'] Great track... Just been reading some history with that track [urban myth has it that Stevie Wonder played kit on it] And the Detroit Spinners were called just 'The Spinners' before they left Motown. It was changed so as not to get confused with an English folk group called 'The Spinners' Garry [/quote] Ok - so this version doesn't have Jamerson on it & the arrangement is a bit 'messy' at times but you have to love the suits & the dancing! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v0B1KgPZn0A&feature=related Also this - another great song: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dln3ifkCfXs&feature=related

I'm a huge Philly soul fan, haven't listened to Ghetto Child for years - have it playing right now

I have to admit that I a Pod XT Live and really struggled to get a sound that didn't come across as 'over-processed' but I only ever used the standard patches and didn't try to re-programme anything. Conversely I've tried a few Sansamp products and seem to be able to dial in a really nice tone (or variations of tones with the pedals that allow you to store 2-3 different settings) with very little effort or tweaking at all Just 'horses for courses' I guess!

Are you goin to change your name

Was it originally natural? If so then a coloured refin will devalue it. Same goes for the scratchplate.

That may well be the nicest '70's Fender I've ever seen!

Looking good H

[quote name='dood' timestamp='1322522936' post='1452239'] Guys! Check out my full review of the head and matching cab (with video) in the free Guitar Interactive Magazine! The review starts on page 179 here: [url="http://licklibrary.ceros.com/iguitarmag/issue5/page/179"]http://licklibrary.c...issue5/page/179[/url] [/quote] Just watched the whole vid & read the review - nice work Dood!

Just in reference to the post about Ritters, I play mine every day, the first bass in a while that yells out to be played every time I walk past it. When my band gets itself back into gigging mode (long story!) then I totally intend to gig it. My previous #1 gigging bass was my '86 Fodera, another lovely bass that works really well as a live gigging 'tool'

I like the checked paint on the matching headstock

[quote name='tbonepete' timestamp='1322483982' post='1451255'] Intersting, the rest of the sentence seems to be missing from the quote! I hoped that I worded my post to indicate an opinion, and not a fact, but maybe I was mistaken. I shall be more careful in the future. Golf courses up and down the land are a testament to peoples desire for the best (better than their co players) equipment that money can buy, but it doesnt change my opinion that the vast majority of players won't be able to play like tiger woods (or any better than if they had a reasonable middle range set) just because they have the same clubs. Granted they may feel better, and indeed want to play more because of the feel good factor, but for them these top range clubs will have no discernable benefit. There are (and in all walks of life) some that the pursuit of "stuff", or "gear" is more important than the task that the "stuff", or "gear" is used for. As always its the individuals money, and the individuals choice! IE not a sad old world after all. One by product of endless oneupmanship is the classifieds. Cheap American Fenders Galore!!! [/quote] Sorry for cutting the quote short - didn't mean to offend. All I wanted to say was that I find it really hard to agree with a view that says people's abilities, or needs, aren't good enough to own more expensive equipment (whether it be musical instruments, golf clubs or anything else for that matter). I've heard this argument soooo many times and I never understand it. I can't see why someone's abilities should have anything to do with what instrument they play, club they use or, a very common example, what car they drive. The other point I was trying to make was about who is it that can decide how good someone's abilities have to be before they can play a high end bass. I've been at gigs watching enthusiastic amateurs having the time of their lives playing really expensive gear only to hear someone in the audience mutter that the instrument they are playing is way to good for them (to be fair this is more common amongst guitarists than bass players). In fact I saw exactly this happen a gig recently with a decent guitarist who had a pair of PRS customs that looked fabulous. I heard someone moaning that he wasn't even good enough for one PRS let alone two - just sounded like petty jealousy at the time and made me wonder just how good this particular person was that he felt he could criticise someone else's choice of instrument(s).
