  1. I guess you have to be a bit arrogant to have a bass like that in the first place...
  2. If you've got to ask, you can't afford it... 🙂
  3. They are a bit (erm) radical, aren't they? But in the same breath there are people who say that Ric don't innovate, so I guess they can't win!
  4. That's a plus - why would you sell a Ric?
  5. Harry Enfield?
  6. I see you've popped over to the fakers group. 🙂 My not-dissimilar faker (black not fg, though).
  7. @Bassassin speak honto.
  8. Stereo Sound on jack plate, thru-neck, but gap on binding is narrower than a real Ric, surprisingly no control knob position dots on pickguard (is it a replacement pickguard?), typical generic Japanese tuners, round holes in tailpiece string feeds, screw-through strap buttons.
  9. I had a Carlsbro Stingray back in the day; sounds came out of it, but otherwise it had no redeeming features.
  10. Billy Sheehan had an EB0 pickup in the neck position on a P.
  11. The best thing about it is the logo on the headstock. That pickup cutout is pretty grim.
  12. Yep, dunno why people do fretless conversions.
  13. It looks a nice bass.
  14. I've already got a TS9, a Boss SD, and a Joyo clone, otherwise I would've had this!
  15. The tuners are preciousssss, though.
  16. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Musicma-Stingray-30th-Ann-Bass-Body-And-Neck/303450791101 Only 800 squids.
  17. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Bass-Guitar-body-Hand-painted-Unique-wooden-Antoria-1970s-Tolkien-Runes-Tarot/233463827716
  18. So, are the cheap ones going to be Sadwicks?
  19. Plus shipping from Germany seems to be more expensive than from the US & China.
  20. It looks like an open and shut case.
  21. Funnily enough, I painted the base of my pooped treble pickup black too, after I mounted whatever pickup it was onto it. The other option would've been to fit a Hipshot (or Ric) bridge and keep its original lifted one for posterity.
  22. I was wondering about that!
  23. The problem was that the bobbin's plastic degraded and became brittle and just broke up; I think the pickup was straight - that may be just the photo. I checked my notes and it was a Greco (proper Ric-style) pickup I put in it, which I got on the fakers group 🙂 .
  24. My Mat's treble pickup disintegrated on me. (I posted this in the FB fakers group too.) I used the base to mount another pickup on, but I think I may have sold the bass on with a real Ric pickup in it.
