    The deal was the door receipts would be split between the two bands and they would give us something towards petrol money. In other words, buttons! I don't do it for the money, purely for the fun of gigging (it's a hobby for me). I can only assume the Nottingham band are just trying to build a national following - they were all 50s/60s and have been gigging for decades so I guess they also like the rock and roll life!

    I just bought an Orange TB amp from Rick in the time-honoured car park meet, BC style. Super friendly, very easy to deal with and the amp is exactly as described. Very happy 😊

    The Pipeline in Brighton last night. Fun but smaller crowd than we would have ideally liked (and I felt for the main act who drove all the way from Nottingham). Guess even a rainy Sunday night doesn't pull out all the goths! Anyhow, my make-or-break test run of Rickenbacker was OK but not as comfortable as my short scale Mustang

    I dug out my payment receipts for the Handbox (£855) and Padded custom cover recommended by @wateroftyne (£75), together £930. Plus the DI cable cost £10 ish. So, in response to an offer, I think my price of £750 is fair and firm for a mint amp (and the extras) that's never been outside my house.

    OMG, Nick Cave & Bad Seeds back on form with amazing, anthemic new single Wild God

      I like the song, but I'm not crazy about the mix. Sounds very toppy to my ears, but that may well be a Nick Cave thing. I'm far from an expert as far as he's concerned.

      ….and I’ve only just noticed how long we have to wait for the whole album! August 😬

    If anyone is curious what this amps sounds like, there are a ton of videos from BC's @wateroftyne on his video channel: https://youtube.com/@jollybeggars?si=MbiEsRs5qKhGFp-z

    Well at least we can settle down on a cold, rainy Spring evening and enjoy Book One of his trilogy

    Happy to be the first to start a feedback thread for Joshua, who bought an amp off me. All good!

    On request, a pic of the dual truss rod nuts (which work fine, I had to slacken them for the TI flats) and the rout for the added neck pickup

    Bump. Less keen on selling the whole rig but will do so if it helps seal the deal

    Rickenbacker 4003

    Clarky replied to a topic in Bass Guitars

    Binding to the slab body on a 4003 whereas 4003s is unbound and not slab/more carved, so its more comfy on the forearm and ribs IMHO

    Rickenbacker 4003

    Clarky replied to a topic in Bass Guitars

    Is that a Rickysounds V63 conversion? They look great

    If my Ric sells, I will be down (gulp) to one bass for the first time in 10-15 years. This one, my '73 Mustang. 😋
  19. Clarky
    If anyone wants the whole rig I will also throw in the large Auralex Gramma (vibration damping) pad on which its currently sat (seems to cost circa £110 at Thomann, yikes).

    Had a request to post some additional detailed pics on the ad. So first off the bridge showing typical elderly Ric tail lift

    Nearly 16 years since our last friendly BC deal, wow! Chris bought a cab off me and barely looked a day older, whereas I have become a short-haired Gandalf 🙂

    Next in my fund-raising clear-out of nice-to-have but inessential gear. Super lightweight (3lb, I believe) and powerful (500W at 4 ohm) class D amp. In good cosmetic condition. Great for electric and double bass, with the special sauce being the Taste control. No carry bag but woild be safely packed if delivery needed. Otherwise, collect SW13 London area. £280 collected/£290 posted

    I bought this 1973 Rick conversion from Gunnar of this parish (aka Studio GC) last year. Its cool AF, mojo'd to heck and seriously modded. Please read the previous FS thread (link below) for details of mods. Has "Crue" roughly carved into upper bout which Gunnar covered with a sticker but I think looks kind of punk/rock 'n roll cool. According to my digital scales, weighs c.8.5 pounds (Gunnar's scales weighed lower) which is still lightweight for a Rick. Comes with a box loads of bits (spare pickups, pickup cover, wiring). Wearing nicely worn in TI flats and plays very slickly. Collection from a public place in SW13 London or shipping at cost.
