30kg is the max couriers will lift and even then it is hassle !!!. parcel monkey and parcel go are only agents they allocate to the likes of dpd, parcelforce etc.

I have played Rickenbacker's for 37 years now, usually the reason for someone to complain about one in my experience is they do not know how to set them up properly !!! i have done this many times for other bass players, if a Ric is set up correctly it will sound good, play good, and be hassle free, if someone screws the truss rods up like the pictures further back in the post , usually done by someone with no experience of rickenbacker basses plus the anchor on the truss rod pictures was not a ric anchor and the only way they can get screwed up is if someone screws them up, using the correct tool for the job it is impossible to over tension ric truss rods, it is designed that way, your hands slips from the tool before it allows anyone to over tension them. but as usual there are idiots out there who know better !!! and screw them up with water keys !!! there are crap basses from any brand including Rickenbacker, my advice when choosing one is take someone with you who knows what they are talking about, most Rics that are messed up are by folks who are clueless, i own two 4003's at the moment a 2014 Ruby and a 2015 Jetglo both play well and sound fantastic. reason for this is they are set up correctly. i love the sound the feel the look what's not to like.

Rics can sound so different depending on what you want from it, plug a recent 4003 straight into an Orange terror bass and you will get a lovely deep warm tone, add in a Tech 21 vt rack and you are talking Geddy lee type tone, they are quite versatile basses.

I wonder if it makes a difference in the way you are treated in person in the shop ? my experience was via telephone, i have purchased thousands of pounds worth of basses from Guitar Guitar in Glasgow where i am treated very well, i just found this phone experience very annoying and totally unhelpful. it has made wonder about spending any more money with the Glasgow shop.

Purchased a bass for my Grandson from guitar guitar, it was a squire bass ideal for someone starting to play !!! the bass arrived i plugged it in to check it out and the pickup was faulty. called guitar guitar in Epsom where the bass came from, what a horrible experience the first thing the guy on the phone said if we get the bass back and it is not faulty it will cost you £29 for picking the bass up !!! i thought what an attitude, not even an apology or how can we sort that for you nope , its gonna cost you was the first words, sent the bass back and was proven faulty by their experts ??!! so i thought no problem money back . nope, i paid by paypal as it was convenient at the time, he told me and he had great pleasure in doing so the refund will take 7-10 days and possibly 30 days, i said why ?? you were paid instantly with my cash why is the refund not the same, he said i was at the back of the queue !!! really i said, how many faulty basses do yo have? he didn't reply. i had a fight on my hands to get MY money back, they held on to it for 4 days, then they finally got fed up with me and refunded the money so just be aware if you buy online with guitar guitar and have a problem item they will try and hang onto your dosh for no reason.

Jeff purchased a bridge from me, very fast payment, highly recommended , the way bass chat should be and is. thanks Jeff.

need i say more, superb basses when set up correctly, hard to beat tone wise and fantastic playability !!! forget the politics enjoy the bass !!!

They are incredible basses if you know how to set them up properly. cheers George https://www.facebook.com/video.php?v=10205143007150319&pnref=story
