    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.

    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.

    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.

    You need them re-calibrated to go to 11.

    You mean so people would forget? :-)

    Now that is badass!

    Why would a Fender be labelled "Designed and backed by Fender"?

    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.

    Squier neck means that selling it as a "fender bass guitar" is upbranding.

    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.

    Squier being sold as "Fender"...

    Looks like the dog has walked over it with mucky paws.

    I've had a couple of Rock Basses and they probably weren't for me. The last one did have a fantastic bottom-B note though; I got it like this: And sold it like this: The one on ebay is waiting for an opening bid of £100, but then I'd have to add £14.70 postage to it, which would be probably the max I'd pay.

    I've currently got Dean Markley 46-102 on mine, but I'm swapping back to Rotosound 40-100 gauge when I next change.

    Holy camoley - that's a monster!

    That's a nice bass. Sadly I've only got less than half that to spend, though.

    I remember he used to do a bass column in one of the magazines in the 70s.
  23. prowla
    I was greedy - I offered £350, but was declined.
  24. prowla
    Hmmm - I've got money to spend...

    Where is it?
