    https://www.instagram.com/reel/C7orbUeO3h8/?igsh=ZGsxbmwzeHEyYXJ3 Unorthodox technique. Guess he started on upright bass?
  3. Clarky
    Well, somebody did love the bass in the OP as it's now sold

    The OP says post is included "Priced to sell inc uk postage" I have no affiliation, just being helpful!

    I missed this bit of blurb on the ad: "This one is extra heavy aged for an authentic 50’s look similar to Stings own 50’s Precision Bass." Looks nothing like it!
  6. Clarky
    and it retains a spanking brand new-looking, shiny bridge?

    I am sure someone will love this. But not me https://www.bassdirect.co.uk/product/nash-guitars-pb-55-2-tone-sunburst-extra-heavy-aged/

    That's great to read. Have a bump on me and hopefully someone will be along shortly to snaffle this

    Yep, set neck. Even without the neck pickup of the 4001/4003 it sounds unmistakably Rick

    I am really surprised. Also, there are 21 watchers on eBay and noone has pulled the trigger there either 🥴

    Nice gig for The InSect at Aces & Eights in North London last night. Combination of low glossy ceiling, lights and long exposure produced this cool pic

    1974 jetglo 4000 in action last night (it's first run with me) with goth band The InSect

    Anyone fancy some goth/post punk action in North London on Saturday night? My lot, The InSect, are playing Aces & Eights (just beyond Camden, by Tufnell Park tube). Onstage 8.30pm

    This comment is spot on and - having used it at band practice for our upcoming gig this weekend - I have decided to to give it another go. Withdrawing.

    Final price cut £900 collected from SW13 London (by Barnes Rail Station, my usual meet place!) or £930 posted
  19. Clarky
    Yep very right OK everyone. Wanna make me a near offer?
  20. Clarky
    PS,to address one of @prowla comments about the neck, my 4000-to-4001 plays nicely with TI Jazz flats or low tension nickel rounds (40-100). It cannot cope so well with higher tension strings. So any potential buyer would have to be happy with low tension strings on this bass.
  21. Clarky
    I just peeped. No rout. Also, the neck is chunkier than my mongrel (more of a P feel than the closer-to-J feel of the 4000-to-4001)
  22. Clarky
    Bump!
  23. Clarky
    Thanks for the fulsome reply @prowla. I had no intention of not keeping it at option (a) "fun mongrel" but it could be restored to (b) albeit with the considerations you detailed. As far as scratchplate goes, Rickysounds makes a 4000 repro one in white, based on a 1973 4000, for £49.99. However, as said, I think option (a) is preferable and what I would have stuck with. As it happens, I just acquired a 1974 4000 (all original, pictured below) in jetglo as I like the simplicity and the sub-9 pound weight. PS, I am trying to cut my bass collection by one and also to defray the costs of my jetglo 4000.

    Sale fell through, so back up FS for £1450 including rough-and-ready gig bag. Add £25 on top for delivery. Note: I have had a guitar shop look over the intermittent electronics in the past several weeks. One failing pot was replaced, the soldering was tidied and the copper shielding was removed (as it was causing shorting issues) at a cost of £80 to me. All sorted now.
  25. Clarky
    Having just bought a bass and needing funds to defay the cost, this beauty is going up FS again. I am lowering the price, to £950 collected, £975 posted. Cheers!
