  1. I almost bought one today, but I needed to check the price and I realised I didn't even know there was such a thing as a soprano one.
  2. The 4004 has a stock Schaller bridge.
  3. I went to The Gallery (Camden) on Friday and they've got one there.
  4. I forgot to take my earplugs last time.
  5. I haven’t played hundreds, but I do have one or two.
  6. The last London Show I went to there were times where it felt like my whole head was resonating with the volume wars. Somehow there needs to be a way for people to play the amps at a level suitable to hear the kit, but not directly facing someone else who wants to hear their kit too!
  7. I think that it can vary one Ric to the next; my mapleglo 2010 sounds as near to vintage as my vintage one.
  8. Well, the normal position on the new ones is that the series treble cap is bypassed, for the "modern" sound which also means the treble pickup is louder, but you can pull the treble knob to get the "vintage" sound.
  9. I was just browsing and though that the fact it does leading and trailing edges made it interesting...
  10. So, I bought an Aguilar Filter Twin pedal. Now, what the heck do I do with it???
  11. A pair of Seymour Duncans. It'll also have a Kahler trem bridge (needs a bit more work to get it fitted properly) and a Hipshot eXtender.
  12. I'm putting a pair of humbuckers on a 4003; with that switch I'll have 3 positions for humbucking and 3 for single-coil.
  13. Pull the treble Tone knob and job's a good 'un!
  14. Thanks for the info - so it’s the same fit barrel socket with just a different connector on the other end.
  15. I fitted a push-pull vintage/modern pot to my '78. But it is a very expansive, thick sound to it.
  16. I'm just about to wire up a Ric bass with a 6-way switch. http://www.nsfcontrols.co.uk/our-products/free-way-switch/
  17. Great - out of ignorance, what does "the smaller R5 JTS socket" mean?
  18. Oh lawd - that one again. Despite all the grumbling, he seems to set it up pretty well in the end and half of his trouble seemed to be remembering which gin bottle he'd left his tools behind. (I wonder if he complains about Gibsons & other tune-o-matics too?)
  19. One other thing re. the one-trick pony signature sound... I went into Wunjo (Denmark Street) a few months back and going down the stairs there was a big expansive sound like a double bass playing; I went into the room and it was someone on a Ric through a Markbass! Mind you, I do go for the clatter & clang myself...
