    Yep - I think they're kindof cool.

    I wonder if they've trademarked the pickups. I think they're a bold, interesting design; for me, however, the different neck, pickups and bridge means that they shouldn't be a 4003. It'll be interesting to see how they sell.
  3. prowla
    Aye; a fix would require a new section of neck to be put in. I offered £120.
  4. prowla
    I kindof like them.

    Speaking of snapped, ... https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/WARWICK-Streamer-Stage-1-1992-Snapped-Head-Electric-Solid-Bass-Guitar-Faulty/132478606452?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&_trksid=p2060353.m2763.l2649 The repair could be expensive; I made an offer on it, but it was declined.

    Well - they've got thicker necks! (And radical new pickups...)

    Wrong way up - I wonder if Davey Rimmer bought it?
  8. prowla
    Buy and sell it quickly - a FLIPPER!

    The string guides on the headstock are something to be admired...
  10. prowla
    Insipid.
  11. prowla
    I'd assume that the tension of each string would be similar.

    Well, they are a business, but I think it's a response to customer demand. Most people can play a guitar and its strings are closer together, so shouldn't be a problem for a bass (unless you slap & pop, but that's not really what Ric cater for). Incidentally, I've got a SUB 5 and its neck is only 1mm wider at the nut than my 4003.
  13. prowla
    The bridges and pickups are fine. The bridge could be improved though...

    I quite like it as it is. I think there was an issue with the neck joint on the previous models, whereby it couldn't cope with a 25% extra load. So they'd have to sort that. There is someone who does 4-5 conversions in the US.

    Well, I've got Rics and other brand 5-strings, so it'd be logical to have a Ric 5 as well. But they would need to make sure the neck is up to the job.
  16. prowla
    I'd like a Ric 5-string.

    In seriousness, I'm wondering if they are replacements and they've put in linear pots instead of log (audio) ones.
  18. prowla
    You need them re-calibrated to go to 11.
  19. prowla
    You mean so people would forget? :-)
  20. prowla
    Now that is badass!

    Why would a Fender be labelled "Designed and backed by Fender"?
  22. prowla
    Living in Twickenham is expensive.

    I've got a G2M and it's a bit hit and miss. I have Roland PK-5A pedals, but a 12-Step would be cool too. For a bass guitar synth, the EH Synth9 is pretty good, if you want its canned voices.
  24. prowla
    Squier neck means that selling it as a "fender bass guitar" is upbranding.
  25. prowla
    Yep - I get it all the time; my searches are "fender -(squire,squier)" and I still have to sort out dross. The problem now is that I don't trust things straight off anymore.
