  1. For some reason that makes me nervous...
  2. I briefly played a U-Bass at one of the bass bashes - it was very good! (Do not slide notes on it, however!)
  3. Well spotted - the 5-string isn’t going to work, so I’m going to have to shift to a 4. And yes, it is madness!
  4. I’m not sure they do a floating bass bridge.
  5. The bridge/tailpiece perfectly fits the instrument. The AC model has a new unit.
  6. The assembly originally came from a lap steel guitar and the cover was actually a pair of horseshoe pickups which also formed a wrist rest. In the 70s the horseshoe pickup was replaced, but the surround was retained. Rickenbacker teleased a subsequent model, the 4004, which had no surround, but customers kept buying the 4003. So, the reason it is so big is because that is what customers want!
  7. Not "credit to the seller" - if it's got the logo on it then it's a counterfeit.
  8. Incidentally, I've a Rickenberger project on the go..
  9. Nope - if you plug into both, you may get no output: Plugging a jack into the mono output connects both channels together. Plugging a mono jack into the stereo socket connects the jack socket ring to the sleeve of the jack, which is gnd. Therefore everything is connected to ground. Incidentally, Ric did do one model of guitar with dual-mono outputs rather than the normal mono/stereo; I think it was a 620 variant.
  10. Well, there are two amps there. Alternatively, if it is a mono cable, then perhaps the owner only likes the treble pickup and uses the selector as a kill switch!
  11. I like a Thunderbird, but they are just too big for me and I'd need an arm extension to play one. The Epis are hugely variable in price.
  12. You know when you just say "FFS"...? I hope folks didn't miss the link to the video there!
  13. Some (earlier) kit didn't do the full 128 range for velocities.
  14. I've been waiting for a Precision (wider neck than a Jazz) to appear to put mine on.
