    These Rolf Spuler originals are amazing basses and the wood on that is the finest figuring I have seen on an AFR. GLWYS!

    Withdrawing this as - on reflection and further playing time - I think it will be a useful backup to my Jazz bass ... especially having gone through a disappointing experience with a brand new R*ck (see other threads). This feels and sounds close enough to a slimmer-necked P bass to keep me happy. Apologies for those who were interested

    I don't think so, a new bass should be good to go in my view (especially a >£2k bass like a Rick), not the starting point for extra spends and modding. In any case the slab edges and heavily varnished rear of the neck are not to my taste either. I just made a mistake

    Thats a part, but also I cannot get my right hand comfy either with a pick or fingerstyle due to bridge mute screws and the design of the bridge pickup. By comparison, to me a Jazz or P bass is just like a pair of old slippers

    Its beyond the distance selling date anyway so I will just try and sell through the usual (non BC!) channels

    Well, partly inspired by this thread - and thinking that the likes of Squire, Lee, Macca etc couldn't be wrong - I bought a new jetglo 4003 (2021 edition with unvarnished fretboard). Sadly it just doesn't sit right with me ergonomically - unfortunately I modded the bridge pickup with the Tube Ampology thumb rest bezel that most Rick users seem to do (from Rickysounds) and this of course invalidated my ability to send it back to the retailer. Its only 1 month old! Gah, live and learn. EBay it is

    It is gutting. Persuaded myself against my better judgment that the likes of Squire, Lee, Macca etc couldn't be wrong but it just doesn't sit right with me - unfortunately I modded the bridge pickup with the thumb rest bezel that most Rick users seem to do and this of course invalidated my ability to send it back to the retailer. Its only 1 month old! Gah, live and learn. EBay it is

    Best: 1982 Fullerton Jazz bass in 3TS - wonderful thing Worst: R*ck 4003 (2021 edition in jetglo) - looks cool AF but I just can't get used to ergonomics and can't even sell the damn thing on BassChat!

    Don't need to look far for the original concept (*cough* Stanley Clarke) https://www.guitarworld.com/news/stanley-clarke-releases-long-awaited-strat-style-bass-the-spellcaster

    Think this beauty should have a bump - also, a quick compliment on your nice playing on Cosmic Girl, wot, not seen you grooving like that before - suits you sir
  13. Clarky
    Sold!

    You would have thought a masterbuilt instrument could use selected woods that kept the weight down. This one weighs close to 10 pounds which would rule me (and plenty of others) out, irrespective of the price Edit: its out of stock now, ie sold. So there you go!

    Feedback for Aero71

    Marinus bought a nice old 71 P bass from me and the whole transaction was flawless (apart from customs delaying delivery to him). I would have no hesitation whatsoever dealing with Marinus again, friendly comms, quick payment, all good! ATB Clarky

    I have also been known to play a TB10 upright. Great sounding instrument
  17. Clarky
    I often quip in bands (as its all too often appropriate) the old maxim that noone notices the bass player unless they are on fire. I still love it
  18. Clarky
    Que, Mick? This is a fab cab for DB. Ask @Happy Jack and other upright playing dudes. The main audience is likely to be in this forum 😀

    Sid bought a BF cab from me. Flawless transaction with swift payment, good comms .... everything you could wish for. Cheers!

    @Paul SThe original listing was fractionally out - according to my electronic luggage scales its precisely 8.51 pounds

    If you want to use the stereo functionality through two amp inputs, its all of £3.99 https://www.gear4music.com/PA-DJ-and-Lighting/Stereo-Jack-Mono-Jackx2-Cable-3m/10AZ Alternatively, keep selector switch to lhs and play in 'regular' mono at no additional cost
  22. Clarky
    Additional £5 discount if I get to keep the power cable (Handbox didn't supply one so I bought an extra long after-market one which I think will come in useful on some stages) Which would make it £525 posted, £515 collected
  23. Clarky
    Thanks it does indeed only have one cable output socket. So a stereo to mono cable would quickly solve the issue and presumably for a lot less than the £50 I allowed for! Thank you for the carification

    Can't put a Shergold ahead of a dog, dunc. Pablo and Woody would bite my ankles if I suggested that
  25. Clarky
    I bought this mojo'd beauty a month or two back from BCer itsmedunc but, despite my nostalgia, I am not gelling with the bass. Its the second time I have owned a Marathon and - in spite of Shergold's cool Factory records and 70s Genesis links - its just not as comfy as my Jazz basses. So, go it must and I will resist the temptation next time a Marathon appears for sale! Its pretty crazed, like most 70s Shergolds -best seen in dunc's pics in link below. One other thing to mention is that the bass sounds great (very P like) with selector switch to left hand side (as you look down playing) but, when switched to the right, only the E and A strings sound. Not sure if this is a minor electrical fix or a function of it being stereo (the truss rod cover says so, but dunc didn't think it was stereo, so I am unsure). Will knock £50 off what I paid in case its a quick trip to your local bass tech. Sounds great if used with selector to left, so didn't bother me (or dunc). £450 plus post. Or collect SW13, south of Hammersmith Bridge. Will come in beat up Fusion gig bag or old school hard case, depending on whether post needed. Sorry NO TRADES, I have plenty of basses!
