    Up for sale is my 2019 Rickenbacker 4003s in limited edition pillar box red. Unusally for a Ric these came with a maple fretboard. Bass is near mint condition, set up nicely it plays great and sounds as only a Ric can. Apparently there were only 25 of these made for the Uk market so it is a bit of a rarity. It comes with the Ric certificate and all the tags too. There are a few very tiny lacquer chips on the bottom edge. I couldn't really see them let alone photograph them but they are there somewhere. They are only the top coat of lacquer so not through the paint at all. The case has typical Ric case single foot damage but other than that the bass is mint condition. Weighs in at 4.2kg on the kitchen scales and now can be seen in a better light with new pics - more than can be said for my grass. I can take trades with cash my way. A skinny necked P would be nice and am always tempted by jazz basses. Finally, I can travel to meet up but have a hernia op on the 27th Aug so am out of action for a few weeks after that. Better pics provided

    No surprise it’s on hold. It’s well under priced…..

    Can’t believe this is still here. That is an amazing price for a limited run Geddy Lee US jazz bass. Somebody please buy this! You won’t regret it.

    I can’t think of a good reason! Inspired by your ad I just had a jazz bass play off. Shuker jazz vs Modulus VJ4 vs USA FMT deluxe vs USA Geddy Lee. The GL jazz was the clear winner. Just a brilliant jazz bass.

    Bargain. Note to self: I can’t have two of them…..

    Brilliant basses and, contrary to some musings, they’re superior to the Jap GL by a long way. They’re so fiery and very GL out of the box. I’ll never part with mine and somebody is in for a great deal for fantastic bass. GLWTS

    Bargain alert! Ihave a 1980 Elite and that era was superb.

    Harry White. He’s a skilled luthier banging out very good Ric copies to your own spec. Some say they are better than originals and cheaper too. I enquired a few years ago but didn’t go ahead as I’m a brand snob and couldn’t quite bring myself to pay a lot for a (very good) fake.

    Price dropped to £75 which is under half to the retail price. Fender pure vintage 74 reissue pickups in great condition. Bought for a project and then didn't bother. Perfect working order. 7.91 kOhm bridge and 7.25 kOhm neck.

    Roswell copy of Seymour Duncan SPB3 quarter pounder. High output P bass pickup (8.53kOhm) Looks in great condition.

    Crel handwound 7.68kOhm bridge pickup 94mm so standard jazz bridge width. Excellent condition. Was in the bridge of my USA Jag but I returned it to stock.

    Price dropped to a tenner. I just want someone to them rather than me bin them tbh. Nice condition assumed rotosound flat wound strings taken from a Rick 4003 so cut for 2 aside headstocks but with plenty of silk left (probably not enough for 4 a side)

    Legato comfort strap, 4" wide, extra padded. Has schaller strap locks on. Excellent condition. £10 plus a bit for postage.

    I have a 1980 4001 which is fantastic. The neck is skinny, stable and the frets don't wear with roundwounds. I replaced the bridge with a hipshot as the old bridges are a weak link for sure but a 78 would sound and play really nicely in my opinion. I have 2 other Rics, a brand new ltd edition orangeglo and a 2019 Ltd pillar box red with .apple board. I've also owned several others down the years but you cannot beat the gnarly grunt and playability of a 4001. Also, the necks are fiddly to set up and should be done by a pro but once set they rarely need tweaking. I can do my own fret levelling and set ups but won't touch the old hairpin truss equipped 4001. It was set up 2 years ago and plays as well now as then. Guess mine is a thumbs up to joining the Ric club.

    What a tricky question. Playability also to me also means comfort and versatility so the red 4003s would be the most playable. With having a maple board it’s a bit snappier so is less of a one trick pony and of course no body binding means no forearm injury so if I was gigging and needed the most playable then I'd take the red.

    Sure is. Number 11 of 30. My surname is Orange and it was sort of meant to be.......... On the left is a very good nick 1980 4001, middle a 2019 limited run pillar box red 4003s and of course, L'Orange on the right.

    Up for sale, after another failed attempt to get back into the music scene which ended before it started, is this wonderfully resonant, loud and clear single active speaker solution - particularly useful for some state monitoring for DI pedal users. I was going to pair this with my Kemper and it worked wonderfully but I've got no use for it so I should offer it for sale. It is exactly as when I bough it on this forum last year. It has a decent RCF case but the zip is broken and it has the original RCF box. I can post it within the UK or can drive within 50 miles of the Wirral to meet up Here's the link to the original ad with pics:

    I wondered why there were 24 pages of comments for a Gibson bass. Now I see why & donation made. Sorry to be late to the party.

    Beautiful bass. I’ve got a 1980 Jetglo and they have the snarl that the later ones don't. I’d never sell mine but glwts.
  25. vinorange
    That’s a beauty. Any trades or straight sale?
