    I knew it was going to be a TE! 🙂

    I'd have a Roland synthy one, or maybe a vintage Ric thru-neck copy, but otherwise I tend to be a bit lukewarm towards Ibbys.

    It looks quite a nice Kramer, though with some small issues and it's fretless; I'd say the price seems a bit high. I've got an interesting variation on these - they did a limited run where they set someone loose with a hacksaw at the factory...

    I saw that - costs would ramp up by the time it's come from Japan. As an aside, I have an "Electric Bass" TRC, though it doesn't say "Zen-On" on it.

    Ampeg SVP Pro Rackmount Bass Guitar Preamp £450 BIN https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/275783769435 "Its working fine, but needs a new input jack socket fitting. The cable got pulled in the wrong direction at a gig by accident, hence listed for parts/not working, but as faults go, it's really not a big one to sort."

    They've jumped in price in the past 3-4 years!

    The details say "No returns accepted." - I'm not surprised!

    Maybe a wee bit to pricey for me...

    I've bought a couple of things from Ash in the past without issues, BTW.

    The Bristol Guitar Show is coming up soon. At the recent Northampton one there were a couple of tables for folks to take things along to sell...
  11. prowla
    Correct - I did them. 🙂

    That's a good deal; shame I don't need another project, but I'm sure someone will grab it!

    My '78 and '88 have push-pull pots. 🙂

    Gotta pay for the Fezza and the missus...

    Every time I see a de-fretted bass I think "that needs a refret".

    Not a chance in hell...

    Mind you, it looks a positive bargain next to the £20k asking price for a real Ric CS model from our friends at Essex. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/185771683307 (Note: that is not Chris Squire's actual one!)

    Unfortunately the owner has sunk a lot of money into it and thinks it "owes him" that back. It needs some remedial work (look at the action) and note that there's not a shot of the rear of the headstock; I offered him £150 for it a while back.

    Good luck taking one of those as cabin baggage! 🙂

    It's a real Ric - not welcome in Rickenfakers!

    They are really very good basses and I agree regarding the pice (I have a 1 and a 1A). Now, that Mighty Mite would've been something - it wasn't the Peter Cook model was it?
  22. prowla
    Those are nice. (And it's good to see they're doing other than the Warwick shapes!) 🙂

    Nice Ric! (But then again, all Rics are nice...) You did reattach the Gnd wire when putting back the bridge/tailpiece unit, right? There's no need to remove the strings to adjust the truss rods and 1/4 turn is quite a lot; older Rics needed a different technique to Fenders to adjust the rods (ie, push the neck backwards at the 1st fret and use the rod adjuster to hold it in place), but that was sorted by the time of the 4003. I'd be inclined to remove the Treble pickup cover and put a black bezel in to fill the hole; that does require undoing the surround plate and unscrewing the height adjuster screws, plus taking take of the rather flimsy wires. Has yours got the push-pull Treble Tone pot? (I'm not sure they were doing them in '97.) Incidentally, the tuners are, I believe, made by Schaller.

    I think you may be onto something there. (I have one of each, BTW!)

    I think you can get an adapter to split the headphone audio from the whatever-it-is-socket they've put on the phone this season.
