  1. My '78 does and my '72 has a toggle switch.
  2. I've got two as well. (And an EVO 1 amp.)
  3. I've been doing a bit more work on it today...
  4. Yes; it's important that a man gets his priorities right!
  5. I've decided mine is going to have the black SD one, possibly today...
  6. I did work down the pit, though I already had my first Ric.
  7. Thanks - that's my current project; it's probably going to get the SD & black surround off the '72 fireglo (which I'm reverting to stock). The pickguard was a bit crooked in the picture, as it is a 2-part one and was only held on with two screws and a bit of tape, just to see what it looked like vs. a white one and a brass one (from @Beedster). With the pair of humbuckers I'll be putting on a Freeway 6-position switch. I do have an issue to resolve first, though, as the bridge won't go low enough just now.
  8. Masochist to sadist: Please beat me. Sadist to masochist: No...
  9. Ric prices are very variable at the moment; I bought a jetglo 2010 4003 for £1k last month.
  10. Yep - I was chatting with the new purchaser (they just outbid me); it was from the same seller I bought my midnight blue Laredo from too!
  11. You have to tell it like your experience. The rules are that the seller pays return postage, which is a bit of a ballbreaker if the item is mis-described. I once complained to ebay about that and they covered my postage as a gesture... In my case, it was as described and I collected (I sometimes let my purchases plan my day out for me), so I knew what I was getting.
  12. Cool - you outbid me; I put in a speculative bid even though I don't really need an 8th Ric. Mine was the one with the Zero-Mod fitted and I've no complaints; I went and collected personally.
  13. Looks like she's having a clearout; I bought a Rickenbacker from her last year (and she had another of them which finished yesterday).
  14. The bass is new and has over £2000 of free custom options.
  15. Well, it took Chris a month to get a few Rickenbacker parts to me. But I got it today and when I opened the package he'd put in a copy of Paul Boyer's book too, by way of apology for the delay. Apology accepted!!!! 🙂
  16. Well, it's true that someone has to turn up the volume. I recall someone on the Markbass stand cranking it up stupidly loud to play stuff; I happened across his website a few months back and was surprised to see they he can actually play! But I don't think the headphones are the answer - I tried a Dingwall through some and it was meaningless. Maybe all amps should have to face the wall?
  17. The one I went to, I was in pain at some points.
