  1. Beautiful! Sadly I have a mongrel 51 p bass which does the same. You got anything 30" ?
  2. Hi Rickster, I'll be totally honest, I have 5 basses, only need 4. (Actually that's a lie, i have 3 or 4 others that i dont gig with, but let's not split hairs...) I have a Squier Mikey Way Mustang (search on here, I recently listed and withdrew it) I'd trade both of them for a premium/high-end short scale. What were you thinking? Terry
  3. I used her in our covers band for all the pop and 60s tracks but we've moved towards more rock so I've now got the Fender Meteora. Fell in love after seeing McFly on the Royal Variety and for £675 B-stock I couldn't resist 🤷‍♂️ Wish I could keep the JC but I don't have the space and the wife doesn't have unlimited patience 😁
  4. Hi people, here we have a beautiful bass. i need to sell as i have impulse-purchased a Fender Meteora which I'm in love with ❤️ It's immaculate, strung with flats and comes with a tatty but perfectly serviceable Epiphone hard case. No pickguard, this was missing when I acquired the bass. there is a Warwick bridge mod as you can see in the pictures, designed to stop the bridge posts grom pulling out and the strings silk intruding over the saddles, plus it gives unreal sustain. This was done by a previous owner but here is what he said it has a bridge/tailpiece addition which has been done very well, it's a high quality part (Warwick) and does have a few advantages - you can use more types of strings as the wrap doesn't now come over the saddles, it increases the string break angle, and makes it more resonant. other than the above, if you're looking at this then you know what you're looking for, if not the you can Google the specs Manufactured in Korea, July 2012 I will post UK with insurance in the hard case for the asking price. Talk to me
  5. Cheers! To be honest I don't want to sell, it's a "Save the marriage type compromise" cos I saw Dougie from McFly playing a Fender Meteora and instantly fell in love! Well....I now own said Meteora so something has to go. This Bass probably owes me about £800 once you factor in all the mods
  6. Sorry everyone, this is so beautiful I'm keeping it and selling my Epiphone Jack Casady in Gold *Edit* ***Pics added in better light, the finish is more Champagne than Pure Silver.*** Hi there thanks for looking. This is a top notch bass! Beautiful finish, super fast neck, short scale. Below is the spec as new. These are selling for £750+ Taking into consideration this is modded, I've priced it sensibly at £625 including insured UK delivery I have replaced the stock pickup with an active EMG solder-less loom, which is silent in use. She plays and sound amazing. Only selling because I have too many basses and want to buy a Fender Meteora. *Modifications* Replaced bridge with Black. New Gotoh light tuners Black nut. Custom-made 1-piece pickguard/control plate. Battery compartment set into the pickguard (some routing of the body was necessary but this is under the pickguard) Switch to turn off the battery because i use wireless and the jack is always plugged in. New Black knobs and string retainer, plus a set of straplocks in black. Overall the new pickup massively improves the tone of this Bass, Mikey Way did a similar mod on his one before he started using the signature Jazz which is what gave me the idea. Included is a slightly tatty guitar gig bag by Protection Racket. Bass will be sent in gig bag then inside a cardboard box, insured post included. Also included are the original bridge, pickguard and control plate, pickup and wiring, 2 knobs, 4 tuners (no screws) Talk to me Have a great day Terry Squier Mikey Way Signature Mustang Bass Specs: Body: Basswood Finish: Large Flake Silver Sparkle Body with Black Stripes, Painted Black Headstock, Silver Squier Logo, Mikey Way Signature on back of Headstock Neck Shape: “C” Shape Number of Frets: 19 Fret Size: Medium Jumbo Position Inlays: Parchment Dot Position Inlays Fretboard Radius: 9.5″ (24.1 cm) Fretboard: Rosewood Neck Material: Maple Neck Finish: Satin Polyurethane Finish Nut Width: 1.5″ (38.1 mm) Scale Length: 30″ (76.2 cm) Headstock: Painted Black, Artist Signature on back of Headstock Neck Plate: 4-Bolt Neck Plate Truss Rod Nut: 4 mm Truss Rod Nut Pickup Configuration: Humbucking Pickup Middle Pickup: Covered Passive Humbucking Pickup (Middle) Controls: Master Volume, Master Tone Bridge: Strings-Thru-Body with 4 Individually Adjustable Saddles String Nut: White PPS Pickup Covers: Black Pickup Cover Truss Rod Wrench: 4 mm Truss Rod Wrench Saddle Height Adjustment Wrench: 1.5 mm Strings: NPS, .040-.095 Gauges Pickguard: 3-Ply Black/White/Black Included Accessories: Wrenches: 1.5mm, 4mm Control Knobs: Black Numbered Volume and Tone Control Knobs

    +1 for this gentleman. Paid in full immediately, Ricky was delivered 2 him 2 days later and all is well. Terry.
  9. **Update** appears the Luthier "misplaced" the screw when he did his recent (very good) work. I've had an apology etc etc I replaced the screw and all is well again. TL.
  10. Howdy. So being realistic about market values. Let's make this £2,750 delivered and someone can love her like she deserves. Here we have a stunning instrument. My 1980 Ricky 4001 Fireglo. All original, except for a couple of the screws/washers for the machine heads which look like they've been replaced at some point previously and one I've replaced myself (see image) Near mint condition for a 43 year old bass that's been gigged plenty. Recently serviced by a Luthier, she had a couple of crackly pots and a dry solder joint, all sorted. Selling because a project has come to an end and she deserves to be played rather than hang on my wall looking pretty! Anybody looking to buy a Ricky knows how they sound and what they do, this one has the lot. Huge tone. The Clash with some OD on the bridge pup. McCartney on Come Together on the Neck with Tone=0 Mix the pickups, slightly roll off the tone knobs abs you have a beefy rock sound. She has a few knocks, I've tried to show as best I can in the pics, but all cosmetic. Hard Case is slightly tatty but closes fine, no key though. Some tarnishing on the tuner heads and a bit of rust on the input jack but all other metal parts are pristine. Serial number TK4667 dates her to November 1980. Neck is straight, action could be lowered but I had it set at a medium height for comfort. Everything works as it should, including the Rick-o-Sound stereo outputs if you fancy trying to be John Entwistle Overall she's in fantastic condition. I've priced a sensibly as I can based off BC and reverb pricing recently, there doesn't appear to be anything equivalent for sake in the UK under £3,500 (ignore the cheap one on Fleabay with a "Neck Repair")!! I'm not desperate to sell quickly, but very happy to negotiate if you have a fair offer in mind. Would rather not post, but can do that fully insured and packed up tight in her hard case. Happy to deliver/meet in Essex or nearby for diesel money, thanks for looking. Terry 07710467437
  11. This is correct, she is beautiful and never had to do a thing to her except put flats on and straplocks. Don't want to sell but GAS made me buy a Rickenbacker 😁
