[quote name='4000' post='291134' date='Sep 24 2008, 06:39 PM']In terms of worth I'd have said around £750 before you mentioned the accident. Unfortunately they're not very popular which hinders their value. However to all those who want a great Ric for minimum expenditure, go and get one![/quote] To be honest, i only mentioned the accident for the sake of a good anecdote. It was as good as new after JayDee finished with it. Still in excellent condition overall for a 35 year old instrument, hardly a mark on it. Its all just part of its "character" now. :-)

Thought people might be interested to see a pic of my '74 Rick 4000. All original and still in good nick after 35 years. I've owned it myself since about '85. Its been around the world, its played on albums, and its been ignored in favour of a sequencer for years on end, to my shame. Years ago i took it to a rehearsal on my motorbike in a gigbag strapped to my back, until the strap snapped one day. Luckily there was nothing behind me to run over it, but it was left with machine heads hanging off, splintered wood and dents to the body. Satisfactorily patched up by JayDee in Birmingham though. You'd never tell. :-) Its short on bottom end to say the least, but played through an old valve amp (Hiwatt in my case) it'll give you the dirtiest "Lemmy" sound on the planet, at least the way i play it. In a house fire i'd save this before my wife and dog. Not really, but it'd be a close call. :-) What do we think of it? Never for sale, but out of curiosity (as they say) what do we reckon its worth?

How about my G&L L-1505 for trade? Its not one of the cheaper Tribute range. Black in colour, rosewood fretboard, active, immaculate. Have a look at my post with a pic here: [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=27940"]http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=27940[/url] -
One pic now up. Best i can do for now. Cheers, Jake M

[quote name='martthebass' post='288322' date='Sep 21 2008, 12:27 AM']Damn, if only my jazz had frets....[/quote] Cheers Mart. Well, if this turns out to be the only offer i may well be up for it. I don't play the G&L at all as i said, because no matter how i try i cannot get into five strings. Its just such a waste of a good bass. A four string fretless though i'd play for sure. Give it a week or two, see if any other offers come in.

G&L L-1505 5 string active for swap only. Hardly played since new (2000), hence immaculate. Black in colour, rosewood fretboard. Comes with original G&L hard case, good cond. See G&L's website for all the details: [url="http://www.glguitars.com/"]http://www.glguitars.com/[/url] I'd love this bass if it didn't have five strings. Actually, i do love it, but five strings just aren't for me. Looking for a straight swap for something comparable with four strings. Make me an offer. No haggling please, i've got no money and nothing to barter with. :-) I've played it so little i never even got it set-up, and its still "as new" in that respect. In other words it isn't set-up at all, still has a couple of "straight out of the case" fret rattles. Also, the input crackles with certain leads only, again from new. Don't think its a fault, it just needs a good quality sturdy lead. An L-1500 four string or an MIA precision would be great, but anything considered. It doesn't have to be immaculate, depends what it is. I'm more interested in getting something i'm actually going to play. I'm liking headless at the moment. Birmingham/West Mids area.
