Might be an idea to mention where you are bud so we can point you in the right direction.
personally I’d touch it in with something near enough, but I appreciate some folk like to keep their stuff blemish free.
Good luck getting it done!

Played a Sixtieth birthday party yesterday at Tiffany's on the end of Weston-Super-Mare Pier depping for The John Verity Band. There was us and a Metallica Tribute 'Metallicish". What an absolute organisational shitshow! Absolutely no common sense from the events co-ordinator applied, very limited access for vehicles to the end of the pier and stage placed all wrong. We ended up with the ridiculous situation where we weren't allowed to bring vehicles back to the venue to load out because the risk assessment dictated no vehicles on the pier while there were pedestrians around - despite the fact that there are effectively three lanes on the pier - a tunnel - and one lane either side. Ended up with John (who's 75 YO) and I having to wheel the gear 400 yard on trollies to the van to leave. Disgusted - I'll never play there again - avoid at al cost - W Anchors!

So ive had a Ric itch for quite a while now and been looking at this particular one for some time:-
https://richtonemusic.co.uk/rickenbacker-4001-1978-autumn-glo-hard-case-2nd-hand/
It seems to have sold once and been returned a few months back (ive watched it for a while). Obviously i have concerns it has been returned although it may just have not suited the buyer. From what i can see there is a reasonable tail lift that i would absolutely want more pictures of before travelling to Sheffield to see it fully. Love the colour and the 'mojo' but is there anything else obvious from the photos that i should ask for more in depth pics of before travelling to actually try the bass. This will be (potentially) my first ric being mainly a J and P player so me knowledge here is very limited. Cheers in advance..
That’s a lovely looking thing for sure but I’m totally with @WHUFC BASS I’d pick up one of the latest models. I’ve got a 77 4001 and and a 2016 4003 and apart from the mojo’d looks there’s no real reason I’d take the 77 out over the 2016. The vintage switch on the later models make them pretty versatile as well. I’m proper tempted by the walnut one on here tbh but must stay strong!

I went to see Girl at the Marquee. Marillion were Support and bought a coach load of fans in from Aylesbury. They played a blinder - then went to see them at Reading which was their big break really, I think they’d just parted ways either way originally drummer Mick Pointer which was the subject matter for the song Assasing. The misses and I are briefly visible in one of their Hammersmith Odeon Videos!

Stray have bee asked to go on tour with British Lion this December. We'll be doing all 15 dates in December but not the November ones. Apparently the five London nights have sold out already. We supported them in Nottingham and Manchester last year and had a blast. To say we're excited is an understatement!

Ebay. Carbon wrap comes in all sort of colours. This one is forged carbon. Go for 3D not 4D or 5D as the vinyl is thick and shiny, matte looks better.
Clean the plate and make sure it absolutely dust free as anything will show up under the vinyl. Be careful not to firm it down until any bubbles are expelled.
Stick it on and use the bevel on the edge of the plate to lay a sharp blade on. Thats pretty much it.
example of the vinyl..
Wicked - cheers my friend!

Hi there. Where did you get the vinyl to cover the scratchplate and any tips on doing a neat job?

The M (MOSFET) version is about £70 cheaper than the T and there is little difference (basically a 12AX7/ECC83 valve on the input stage of the T). I had the M and could hear virtually no tonal variation between it and a pal's T. Great value amp.
Not my experience and I own both. The M has the ability to get more toppy and a stronger hi mid. The front end is very much like an SVT which the controls pretty much mimic. I much prefer the M over the T although the T is still a lot of amp for the money.

I've been using the MOSFET version for about 5 years now as my main amp and it's absolutely outstanding!
The tone is amazing and more power than you will ever need. Absolutely unbeatable even at twice the price.
Totally agree

I honestly don't have a problem with the volume control, yes it can be a bit noisy, but it is not that objectionable.
Me neither mate. It’s odd how they all seem to do it though. And like I said it only makes a noise if you turn it with a signal going through.

They’re great. Only problem is the volume pot will become scratchy but it’ll only make a noise if you turn it while sound is coming through it. I’ve used one extensively touring with Stray. Front end mimics an SVT which is nice because we often get an SVT when backline is supplied. Only problem I’ve had was when the gain knob took a bash in transit and pushed the back of the pot off. Managed to fix this myself. I don’t use the compressor so can’t comment on that. It’s never left me wanting for volume.
Actually my comment about the front end related to the M not the T. I’ve got both and I prefer the M but the T is still a great amp, mellower then the M. My comments re the volume knob stand for both heads

I’m not overly familiar with the Sadowsky range. Does this have the VTC control?
