[quote name='StevieD_FenderP2009' timestamp='1317070898' post='1386475'] That picture is of Geddy Lee's actual double neck That's a picture from his equipment list off that tour haha. This is quite cool if you're a fender fan [url="http://www.aliexpress.com/product-fm/459207495-Free-shipping-electric-guitar-Guitar-MAX-808-Vintage-white-double-neck-46-string-strat-p-electric-wholesalers.html"]http://www.aliexpres...holesalers.html[/url] And this is just badassery!

Why the Badass, mine really sings as standard and has a great deal more soul than a 4001.

[quote name='Ou7shined' timestamp='1316647042' post='1381048'] Looks like a Werther's Original. Perhaps it's a bass with senior appeal. [/quote] Looks like someone's had a chew already though.

I think he's lowering his superiority by not being able to handle his fizzy pop.

Youtube it, watch some guys and make your own mind up.

Precise....much respect.....

It came with a Black one??, pretty sure it's fake too, [url="http://www.ebay.com/itm/RICKENBACKER-BASS-403-HEADSTOCK-NAME-PLATE-USA-/170689907116?pt=UK_Musical_Instruments_Guitars_CV&hash=item27bde949ac"]http://www.ebay.com/itm/RICKENBACKER-BASS-...=item27bde949ac[/url]

OK.... time for a sticky thread, ''Denmark St, Music Ground and similar shops, You don't need to visit these places, They have nothing for the normal individual''. By all means visit them if you have a cheeky nature and a retort the speed of Chubby Brown, wind them up and post your experiences here of how you get on, but if not there are hundreds of threads on how they treat people who stumble in unawares.

Surprised they don't have a stupid zero fret to add to the naffness.

Looking at my last invoice, it seems this is included in the fees, not sure how this works to be honest, ( I think it's me and the way they word it) the VAT however they do calculate it, is at 15% as the invoice comes from Luxemburg.

When you get the 10% final value fee and then the 4% PPal fee, i'm putting my email address in the ad's now in the hope I get some contact and sell outside the bay.

[quote name='Conan' post='1356029' date='Aug 30 2011, 10:34 AM']You can carry an 8x10 in one hand?!?! [/quote] Sure, one hand for the amp, the other to steer the cab. The issues with the amps are interesting, Ive not managed to get mine to do what the problem ones do with the twin 210AV's, even so it's a concern, although it is limited to them and not other 4 ohm cabs?.

Have used the very same set up and it does go very very loud, not sure if it's Reading volume though. On the other hand it does mean you can bring your cab and amp to the gig in one go single handed.

[quote name='Beedster' post='1354695' date='Aug 28 2011, 08:04 PM']How good would that look alongside my 4001 on stage....? [/quote] if you glue them together, very good on stage.

Check for any fret wear on the A string, the 4003 was introduced with wider/chunky frets to account for the more common use of roundwounds, if a 4001 needs a refret it needs doing properly and that's expensive.

Very good price, compared to the last years hike's. I had a 2 on my precision, went back to the original and it sounds great. Have a 2 on my Jazz and it's a fantastic mod and have a 1 on my 4001 (not all can take these without a router, bad ) and it sings, massive improvement.

[quote name='Rayman' post='1338576' date='Aug 13 2011, 11:07 AM']It never goes......[i]never[/i]. I'm thinking about unloading the Shuker because it's not getting played much, and I want either another Stingray or a Fender Jazz or Precision. Help me baby Jesus.[/quote] +1 if you think you made it through....... I got into cycling 5 years ago and went quite gassy, 20 years before that it was old racing cars and now it's back to bass after 25 years, have I grown up! and got sensible , I don't think so, just more particular. I think the abbreviation to GAS for those of us that have it, isn't good and a little to distant, a ''Sydrome'' is a very serious condition.

Spirit of Radio is a very well known song that few bands can play properly, but once you nail the start it's easy and it really goes down well then.

I know it's MIJ, but my 2010 Geddy is astonishing, I couldn't see how it could be better made in anyway and as for sound, it utterly and completely destroys my 73 J.

Seen this guy before, he does a good ''Siberian'' although his sound is quite good I think it's helped along by the backing track, his treble pup is a lot more overdriven than CS's though as CS fuzz boxed his neck pup and the high treble and volume of the bridge pup was all he needed to get that sound. Looks like a 74 he's using, so it's a smaller body and neck etc, but not like the period wafer 4001's without the skunk stripe, I've found my 72 gives as close as I can get to the CS sound, although my doubleneck is close too, SVT bright ch 1, on the bridge pup and either my bro's Vintage modern or Burman on the neck.

2 Ohms of grindey old tone far too loud really, WTH.
