    I've put real Ric pickups on a faker before. I've got SD pickups on a Ric, too.

    Generally you lose the headstock to make the overall instrument shorter; this one has the length of a headstock plus more added to the body's length. Well, when I say the body - it's just an outline around the central plank. Incidentally, on that theme, I tried a Yamaha Silent Guitar the other day and I could hear it quite clearly - what the heck's that about???

    I know someone who is on perpetual lookout for a Black Eagle pickguard. Seems a shame to have split one up for a project, though.

    Tat made me look up this one...

    I lunched at a GBK today with my boy and the music being played included "Come Together" - now that is a great bass line!

    Cheers for the Thunder, Craig - a quick gig-bag shuffle at Waterloo and now I've filled a gap in my collection!

    I have to say that Alembic have produced some ugly basses; nice wood and workmanship, but I've never particularly wanted one.

    Looks like a replacement bridge to me, as you can see the filled in holes of the original 3-point one.

    Brill - pm'd back.

    I've only played it in the house, so haven't cranked it up. I found it really confusing at first, but figured out you have to turn down the FX volume to zero. I found 2 sounds which really work for me ("Red 96" = SWR Red Head & "Blue 70 Plus" = SVT-VR Plus) and I split the signal at my pedalboard, so a clean goes to one channel and the effects to the other. I've still got to do a bit more to get to grips with it, though. I might try my Ric in stereo to it at some point.

    I've been using 2 amps, so decided to try one 2-channel one!

    Hi! I'll have that - cheers! (Are they replacement knobs?)

    I have one of these and I quite like it. I pugged in a computer and set option 1 on each channel to one I like, turned off the builtin FX and it sounds rather good.

    Yep - the 70s copies pre-date the trademark registration, so (provided they don't have a Ric logo) they don't infringe it. And anyway, they are no longer available new, so it's just chasing shadows on the 2nd hand market. However, I do have respect for the way they have stuck to their original base and not sold out & offshored. And those current Chickenbackers are awful!

    The problem for me with the old SB700/1000 models is that they are very large. ( I bought an SB700 new at the time.)

    Apparently they’re going to sue Rickenbacker for trademark infringement.

    My reaction these days when I see a Fender bass is “I wonder if it’s a real one?”; the fake logos thing has ruined the brand for me.

    That's a great album. I watched a documentary where Mark Farner said he got ripped off by the other members and isn't allowed to play his own songs now.

    Is that a real Fender neck?

    I've said on occasion that Squire was just McCartney with the treble turned up.

    Ah, I am heading towards the bottom-left corner of Wales on the weekend, but that's still a bit distant. The problem with shipping one of those is the headstock...
  24. prowla
    What’s your location?
  25. prowla
    Yep - classic!
