I had one for a wee while...as everyone has said they're a pretty versatile bass and the build quality of mine was very good...would have kept it if i had any sense.

I toyed with the idea when i had my 4003...decided that it was a bit silly as i would end up losing that legendary Ric sound...that and the fact that it would have meant f'ing around with the useless piece of sh*t that Rickenbacker call a bridge.

I like it and the Lakland Decade...matter of fact, next time i have a spare grand i'm gonna buy a Decade from Guitar Guitar....then sell it for a loss, obviously

Kid Creole; Going Places 'the August Darnell Years....sublime!

[quote name='bigjohn' post='749991' date='Feb 18 2010, 05:29 PM']I put a set of TIs on a string through bass and the A string snapped at the bridge before I'd even got it in tune.[/quote] And i have a 51p with Ti's strung though the body and have encountered no problems whatsoever...and yes. they are more flexy than La Bellas, but i prefer the sound of the La Bellas to the TI's, as said above, the TI's are VERY middy.

The words 'arse to elbow' spring to mind here

[quote name='Mr. Foxen' post='743991' date='Feb 13 2010, 02:00 PM']I asked him a similar question, got a slightly more sensible answer. Turns out he is not retarded, it was just beer. Although he seems to suppose I am Alfie (sorta fair): Fairly sure by 'walnut filler' he means walnut coloured filler.[/quote] It's Ebay though...it could be filled with sh*t for all we know

[quote name='chris_b' post='742981' date='Feb 12 2010, 12:24 PM']But it wasn't good enough when Leo Fender designed the Stingray or when he developed the G&L line. So in 2 out of 3 designs Leo [i]didn't[/i] choose a "bent piece of tin"![/quote] Wel,l if there [i][b]was[/b][/i] something wrong with the original design, it took him bloody long enough to realise it. I'm another who thinks the 'bent piece of tin' does the job just fine and that you'd be better buying a nice comfy strap instead

Just thought i'd let you know that there's a sub forum for Ebay stuff and this has already been posted 3 days ago...HTH. [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=76808"]70's jazz bass?[/url]

So even the fleas are finding stuff in their uncles attic now? Mind you, i think it's actually a MIM 70's reissue.

[quote name='silddx' post='736741' date='Feb 5 2010, 10:32 PM']Jeez, it was only a little quip, a phrase, people are getting pissed off with me because of it. Not one person has screeched at me because they are offended by my Helmand Province reference. [b]SORRY TO ALL GLASWEGIANS![/b] I'll be up there in a couple of months, I'll take a look. If you look at my profile in May and see "Last seen 14th April", you'll know what's happened. [/quote] Feel free to call Dundee and Falkirk shitholes....we aren't as precious as those snooty Glaswegians, or soap dodgers, as they are known locally.

[quote name='Alfie' post='738571' date='Feb 7 2010, 10:47 PM'][url="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=140381441665&ssPageName=ADME:B:SS:GB:1123"]http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vie...ME:B:SS:GB:1123[/url] I think eBay should charg a £10 premium on people using the words 'vintage' and 'rare' in their listings. This is the first time I have seen a 90s bass listed as vintage. [/quote] He should also be aware that insurance aint worth a f*** if the instrument aint in a case, this is true with most couriers.
