A great result, congrats on finally being united with that fine looking instrument. What a debacle though! However, it may be that all that angst will actually add to your enjoyment of it. Thanks for sharing the experience, I think we all felt somewhat invested in the outcome.

One minute it’s 420%, then it’s 110%. Obviously not a math rock band.

Sybil says, “That’s a nice looking bass you have there, manbeast,” and I’d be inclined to agree. Enjoy your non-Vigier adventure.

He was young and foolish, plus he tends to play over the neck pickup of his various basses. Those bezels are good, with a selection of thumbrest options, but they’re not cheap. If you’re coming to the Bass Bash you can check out the one on my 4003s (I’ll be the bloke in the Rush T shirt, or maybe my TMIAC one!).

I’ve just come over from FB to read this very thing, I feel cheated

I’m surprised it took you this long to get a Ric, given your Rush addiction. Yes they can be a pain to play, but adding a bezel to the bridge pickup and removing the mute screws make it whole lot more comfy. As to the lack of contouring for ribs and forearm, you just have to get used to it I’m afraid. Congrats on the new beast, enjoy.

Fabulous sounding amps, I’ve had 2 of them over the years. Have you thought of advertising it on GuitarChat? GLWTS.

Just too many to chose from to pick just one (or ten honestly), but here's a few that float my boat: More Pino

The ‘net gives a measurement of 41.3mm, but that was the only reference I could find with a quick perusal.

Had the same problem and fitted one of those bezels - all fixed.

Double Ps for the win.

I’ll throw my Elwood L into the mix.

Given that I think the guitarist is using a double cut Washburn (I seem to remember wanting one of those back in the day), I think the bass might be a Washburn too.
