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. 😋

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

And sold

Sold pending

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, and a somewhat battered alternate Hipshot bridge [I reinstalled the original Rick bridge as shown in my pics]). Wearing nicely worn in TI flats and plays very slickly. Reason for selling: I am struggling with the 33.25" scale length compared with my Mustang bass due to ongoing left hand issues (blame the horse) plus continuing medical bills.

I paid £1700 and have since added a spendy Mono Sleeve gig bag which I would throw in for the same total price (edit: I also added a Rickysounds treble pickup bezel for ease of finger style playing). Collection from a public place in SW13 London or shipping at cost - however, I would need to source a box if shipping is required, which may delay matters by a few days.

PM replied to. Sale pending

Would also sell as part of a full, loud AF gig rig with the vgc Barefaced Big Baby 2 cab you see in the pics (comes with padded custom cover). I am after £750 for the Handbox and would do both for £1325 collected, again SW13 London way. 

Euphonic Audio 1 x 10" speaker cabinet, 17lb with 4-ohm speaker rated at 250W. Dimensions 15"H x 12.5"W x 11"D. Great for small DB/acoustic/electric gigs, with a relatively flat response.
The handle on the bottom is a useful feature, allowing you to angle the cab upwards. Bought on BC in Jan 2023 but selling due to complete lack of use (my Americana band was put on ice last year). Collected SW13 London or can ship at cost well-wrapped (it has no cover/gigbag, unfortunately).

I received this full-fat 120W valve amp from Handbox in August 2022. A combination of my then-band being put on ice and my more recent goth band only ever using supplied backline means it has never left my house, not even for a practice session. Its too good to have sitting around, plus the cash would come in handy. Comes with around c.£80 of extras, namely a custom padded gig bag/cover and a DI attenuator cable (which I bought 'just in case').

Not that keen on shipping given the weight (16kg/35.3 lb) and risks of valves being unseated/damaged by heavy-handed couriers. So its collection only from a nice public space/car park in the SW13 London area, south of Hammersmith Bridge.

I'm looking for a 4003 2023 Rickenbacker - specifically in matt black - but it's proving almost impossible here in London, UK.... do they even exist?? What's the easiest way to get my hands on one? Even Rickenbacker's site seems to have been down for months and they haven't responded to my query asking the same thing....  

Have you tried messaging Rickysounds? They don't have one in matte black but tgey may be able to source one? And they are responsive

Come on folks. Someone please buy this beauty!

I have my eye on something in the FS forum so will drop this to £575 INCLUDING 48 hour delivery while the other bass is available.

Attention South Coasters! My goth lot The InSect kick off our 2024 gigs in Brighton, playing The Pipeline on Sunday 10th March (aka Mother's Day). We are the support act, probably onstage not long after 8pm, playing a 45 minute set.

Price drop: £600 plus postage at cost (if required)

Ovno

Looks like I have a box and can include 48 hour delivery in my asking price

Sunday bump

The stasis is the same on Reverb and eBay. Assume its a combination of post-Christmas belt-tightening, the continuing cost of living crisis and just general geopolitical uncertainty

Okay, I had to ask...... could it be played arco?

😇

Since the OP hasn't responded yet, here is the relevant snippet from the ad: 

"Suitable for all styles except arco (using bow)"
