Free to good home or going down the tip before long, a 19u Mixer fight case with detachable lid and front panel, I used to house a Peavey XR800 in there and before that a Mackie CR1604 so standard size for any 19u Mixers, this is the old school metal covered flight case, the best way to describe it is, weigh your mixer, in the flight case it will be double the weight....so in the case of the XR800 about the weight of a family car! If you have a light weight mixer you want to protect it's perfect, if you have a heavy powered mixer then unless you are in to bench pressing small planets you don't want it! Collection only from Northampton as it is way too big and heavy to post Cheers Rog

12 offers and still no sale, and it's been advertised since year dot...I think the seller has a different preception of its value compared to everybody else! i did offer to take it off his hands if he paid me a tenner and covered the postage....never got a reply, must be considering all the similar offers!

Yes, found in river was my first thought when I saw it, I reckon it's worth the 40p he's looking for.....oh hang on a minute!

I used to work for a Rolls Royce dealer, when i first drove their cars I thought they were good but not ten or fifteen times better that a run of the mill normal car so I couldn't get my head round why someone would spend £250.000 on car, but to the people who were spending £250.000 on a car it is the same as most of us spending £500 on a car, the Fodera is probably not worth the money and is certainly not going to be ten times better that a decent Warwick / Spector etc however to those that can afford it it is like most of us buying a cracking Squier bass....I guess if you can afford it enjoy it

It had reached a fair old price last time I looked at it

i was told by a Fender rep that Fender do not make a genuine neck for any of their guitars with a plain trussrod hole, all genuine necks with the truss rod adjuster at the headstock end with have some kind of different wood insert

I either love it or hate it......not quite sure which yet!

[quote name='Cameronj279' timestamp='1427928791' post='2736103'] This bass has overtaken a Fodera Singlecut for the "ugliest bass award" for me. [/quote] I own one of these Itallian built beauties, it's a fantastic honest little bass, I gig it at the occasional wedding, it sounds great but you have to be really careful where you stand otherwise it will feedback horrendously which at full resonance feels like the bass is about to explode in your hands!

Excellent, I see they have learnt plenty from the Ebay specialists such as "he who must not be named"

I also love his work with Gary Numan and Paul Young, it got me into fretless playing and still frustrates me to this day!

[quote name='itsmedunc' timestamp='1427397485' post='2729971'] Read the text too. I hate the word 'Awesome'! Words fail me...

I am sorry but for £1500 you can get a decent car or some shoes or possibly Jesus or Hitler, Rick's are awful, you must not buy one under any circustances or you heads will all fall off...don't say recent threads haven't warned you. I really like the current red ones, they give me major GAS

[quote name='bluejay' timestamp='1426968502' post='2724308'] Anyone know if this is still going on? [url="http://basschat.co.uk/topic/210389-we-need-strings-charity/"]http://basschat.co.u...trings-charity/[/url] [/quote] I think they ended up inundated with strings and stopped taking them, I had a bunch ready to send when they stopped taking them, it may have changed again but I haven't heard anything in a while

I would say the fact that I cannot buy or sell a Rick on BC is probably the main reason I don't currently own one, finding a sensibly priced 2nd hand one that I can try first is well nigh impossible, I guess that is the downside of Ebay for you, unlike the old days of the classified adds the Ebay ethos doesn't seem to accomodate the try before you buy idea.....I guess if I have learnt anything from the threads on here it is with a Rick, try before you buy. At some point I will come across one locally and sensibly priced, at that point I can make the decision as to whether I want to own one or not

We have used Parlour Studios in Kettering for the last couple of weeks, first day, there was not lead to the left speaker and the right speaker had a blown driver, so pretty useless, we had to borrow gear from an empty room just to be able to rehearse. 2nd day they had replaced the speakers and got the PA working properly but the mic leads were both playing up, fortunately we had brought our own mic's and leads which was usefull as one of the mic's was trashed as well. We are in again tomorrow, so we will see what we gat then, I haven't bothered trying any of the bass cabs provided as I assume they will have blown speakers! We pay a lot of money to use these places, I know gear gets damaged but I think they should make more effort to ensure equipment works when bands arrive to rehearse

I have owned and disposed of a few copies over the years, much as the original OP suggests, I could never really get a sound out of the copies that I liked. I had the pleasure of trying a brand new Rick last year and thought it was a wonderful bass to play, however, again the sound didn't grab me, but it certainly wasn't bad. Rick's are what they are, marmite basses some people love them some people hate them, I think the OP is wrong to suggest that for £1500 you can get 3 far better basses, the truth is for £100 you can get a far better bass if you don't like a Rickenbacker in the first place, same goes for Warwick, Status and probably Wal and any other bass on the market. I might buy a Rick one day just for the fun of it

Stuart Morrow the original New Model Army bassist, just an amazing lead bassist, sadly no longer even playing according to a magazine article I read on the band recently, my recommended tracks would be Vengence or Betcha, really anything off their first album

I really cannot think of a reason that someone would have gone...."I know, it needs a large boil on the back...that's bound to solve my problem"

I started off playing both, then concentrated on the bass, I think it definitely helps me be a better bassist

I look up to him and I look down on him...I know my place in the world! I guess I am not bad, I can usually work out the bassline to anything I want to play, I have long since decided that Pino Paladino is a better player than me and trying to play exactly like him just ain't going to happen.

We have had the same recently with sways of 20 or 30 likes in a day, then suddenly half of the disappear again a couple of days later, our guitarist looks after the page so can see the trends, we had a couple of days of getting 30 or 40 likes a day from Mexico, then is stops and the following day we stated getting loads of likes in India, then London....strangely we haven't played in any of these places (although the first tour is looking interesting) We have no idea how or why we are getting these likes...all very strange if you ask me

[quote name='Mickeyboro' timestamp='1426326555' post='2716898'] Oh, please… Every time I see a thread these days I think someone's died! [/quote] Quite agree, I was worried for a moment, rock on Mr Wobble

I have both, the covers band is a democracy of sorts, no one has final say, we all choose songs on a rota basis, I hate half the songs other band members choose and no doubt they hate my choices, the band has been together over six years now, we are still friends, we still enjoy playing together. The original band is definitely a dictatorship, our guitarist / singer writes all the songs, he tells us what he wants, we play what we want, he suggests trying it different ways before finally deciding that what we played in the first place was right for the song! He directs everything the band does....sounds horrendous doesn't it? Tell you what I far prefer the dictatorship method, we get to take the mickey out of him half the time, he totally recognises what we all bring to the table, I really enjoy the writing sessions as they are organised and end up being very productive, gigs are well thought out and targeted....above all else he is a cracking songwriter which I think gives him the right to run his vision his way

I read the original add and had to check if I had been drinking all afternoon!
