[quote name='AndyMartin' post='1194896' date='Apr 10 2011, 06:47 PM']I'm one of the 7%. I only own a Precision although I do hanker after a Jazz from time to time for noodling purposes.[/quote] Does your P-bass not allow noodling?????? Al get me coat.

[quote name='markstuk' post='1265778' date='Jun 12 2011, 09:37 AM']Maybe worth asking the seller for the serial number and get Alex Claber to check it was not "left behind" at a gig instead[/quote] Oh now thats an interesting thought. We have seen this kinda thing happen before. It would be great to actually catch one of those types!!!!!

Hey Chris, I am a new Ric convert. I was so used to a jazz neck and jag sound that I wanted to shift my Ric without giving it a chance ([url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=130895"]Thread[/url] is here). BUT,,,,Because I loved the idea of a ric bass, I decided to hold onto it. I am so glad I did. The feel of the bass just oozes quality and it FEELS LIKE A BASS. Its manly and makes you look cool too. I was ready to dismiss mine without giving it a chance which was just stupid. Infact if anyone has read any of my threads they will know I love my Fender Jaguar. I have to say I havent picked up the Jag recently except at a rehearsal to A-B the 2 basses and I cant see the Jag getting used anytime soon as it just doesnt compare in feel or sound to the Ric. This may appear to be a total change of mind from me in past posts but thats just the way it is. These Rics are amazing and although I have enjoyed my venture of moving from an Epiphone EB-1 to a Ric in about a year with many many basses and amps in my wake. But im very glad where I am now Lets face it Chris, you know your getting a 4003 so stop faffing about and do it hahaha.

However there may be other practise amps that would be better valueat that price

[quote name='Beedster' post='1264257' date='Jun 10 2011, 06:52 PM']My local tip said I had to take mine home with me as it was too crappy[/quote] hahahahaha

I was checking this site and not all the basses have the logos on the headstock!!!! is this how its legal?

[quote name='mentalextra' post='1263315' date='Jun 9 2011, 09:34 PM']I was coming home from work just outside Colchester tonight and while trying to find a town in essex with a working cash point, happened upon one of those shops that sells old 35mm cameras and watches. He had some old records and tucked in the corner of the shop window was an amp. Laney linebacker 30. Looked OK. Price label said £70. Worth going back for it do you think? Might offer him £50?[/quote] see if he will offer you £50 to take it off his hands!

[quote name='ficelles' post='1263292' date='Jun 9 2011, 09:16 PM']Btw if he ever joins this forum (unlikely!) he's a genuine guy so be nice to him! He started playing bass in the 70s punk era when most of you in here weren't even thought of.[/quote] Yip we shall treat him as he treats us. As im sure you have found in this thread alone!

[quote name='ficelles' post='1263255' date='Jun 9 2011, 08:54 PM']I couldn't even be bothered to read all that stuff you quoted... I were defending my mate, stood my ground, vanquished all, crushed my enemies and now use their sorry skulls as candle-holders. Oh and my Jazz bass, I pulled it from a rock near Glastonbury Tor. Other than that, I should maybe mention I am not entirely devoid of knowledge on the subject of Internet Libel. Not a challenge of course But I forget, spoke to Big Mart earlier and he has found the name & address of the original seller, the one who faked up the item in question in the first place! So who wants to know? ficelles[/quote] who wants to know what Conan?

[quote name='ficelles' post='1262198' date='Jun 9 2011, 01:27 AM']You don't believe in defending your friends? Ah well... ficelles[/quote] Of course I do. But not with stupid statements like that. I doubt for a minute the big boy words came across well or showed you in any good light little buddy. All in all I think it may have given us all a little chuckle at your expense

[quote name='ficelles' post='1259216' date='Jun 7 2011, 01:03 AM']Ok kiddo, this seller happens to be a close friend and he ain't lyin' re the neck info. You want to talk about it, maybe come and see me.[/quote] hahahaha what a tit

[quote name='Ou7shined' post='1260887' date='Jun 8 2011, 10:41 AM']Could have saved myself a post if I'd seen this. Second part : I suspect you've been listening to your tutor (or someone else banging on about your technique) too much Matt. This new negative thing about what Johnny Punter thinks (or not) about your tone is pish. The assumption that no one listening to you is a bass or indeed a music fan is bad - ok the percentage won't be high but there will be some punters out there who can tell a good sound when they hear it... do it for them/us. Also there's the science bit (which I'm sure is what you got off on to start with) it's not just about "upgrading" it's about exploring the possibilities and learning the limits of your instrument. Like you did with your Les Paul - in your quest for excellence you've modded it out of it's own price bracket but you did it, it was fun and you learned stuff. Cheer up bud. [/sermon] btw - I've turned many an apple into, not an orange but a peach. [/quote] Amen brother. No doubt brother Matt will find his way back from the darkness and return to the search of tone and gas;-)

[quote name='Ou7shined' post='1260325' date='Jun 7 2011, 09:33 PM']The L-2000 doesn't do Stingray... not even close in fact. Even the Sandberg PM or JMs can't nail it as the MM pup is a good bit away from the sweet spot. This is a bit more like it. P neck and MM pickup placement accurate to the mm. [/quote] Where abouts in Aberdeen do you stay Rich so I can steal that beauty

[quote name='Ou7shined' post='1259087' date='Jun 6 2011, 10:41 PM']I'm dead jealous that the guys in your band could tell the difference.[/quote] Yeah my lot didnt even notice I was 40 minutes late!!!!!!!!!!!!
