Black Coffee

Ive just spent about ten minutes playing one of these and im really surprised at how good it sounded/felt. A drunk customer in the shop then starting pushing me and i had to stop, then left the shop. Strange experience. So any thoughts / experiences good or bad on these ?

It's a very steep slippy slope to the Dingwall place. And once you go over the edge it's a long drop as lots of money falls out of your bank account on the way.

Bought from matchetts rock shop in Belfast. Yes. I have to say that this was fairly good. Almost as good as the warwick thumb i walked out of the same store with for a fraction of the retail price about 8 yrs ago. Good store

New bass after a quick play in the shop. £199 for a spector coda pro. Not a mark on it, the shop just wanted to move it on. Have not really got a play on it yet as we have workmen in the house at the minute and its moderate chaos. But - it looks lovely. The mouse was not included with the bass. Mickey just has to be in the middle of everything.

With the venom that the big kahuna at Ric defends their honour et al you would expect better qc for thousands of quids worth of bass. It appears not though.

I find these basses gorgeous to look at but i cant get on with them. I owned a 4003FL, a 4004 laredo and a 4003 mapleglo. The FL had a dodgy pickup, the laredo had a truss rod issue and by the time i got the other 4003 mapleglo I was scunnered. Would love to nibble the RIC again but dont have £2,000 to drop on one when half of that would buy me a quality bass of another make.

My curiousity is up now. Need to find a time this week to go back and play this. Thanks for the input. Will report back my findings. 👍🏻

Not a joke - even though it sounds unreal ive seen it in the flesh and its sound Not a mark on it. Im a passive pup player and just not sure if i will hate the sound or not. Maybe need to go and invest time in playing on it for a bit.

Thanks guys. Is £200 for a brand new one a steal or what ?

Anyone any info on these ? Theres a cheap one of these going for sale locally and it nearly seems too good to be true sound ? Finish ? value ? cheers

That is gorgeous. Health to enjoy .....
