[quote name='Soloshchenko' post='774151' date='Mar 14 2010, 10:34 AM']Nice looking copy. I actually have serious GAS for something similiar. I must say, looking at it, it seemed surprising it was an Ibanez. Are you sure itisn't a Greco?[/quote] I'm no expert just really going by what the seller said and getting advice from BCers who are far more knowledgeable than me.

[quote name='Bassassin' post='774028' date='Mar 14 2010, 12:47 AM']Stevie - is there a serial number? It'll be stamped on the back of the head if there is. J.[/quote] Hi John no there isn't a serial I thought there might be as I imagine it's a later copy but no.

[quote name='Stacker' post='773408' date='Mar 13 2010, 09:31 AM']Interesting tug-bar holes on the 'guard. I'd bet it is one of the later Ibanez copies, judgin by those elephant-ears keys and size/diameter of the tuning capstans themselves. One of the better copies and with full-width inlays, too![/quote] fancy a swap for the one you have for sale

Over on the bass forum [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=80652"]http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=80652[/url] A bunch of pics, looking for a lightweight cab.

I think I might just keep the rick TRC however your if you can make me one it'll be much appreciated and name yer price. Sadly Britain is a bit sh*t for the prog gigs, we played Summers End which was great and recently supported Pallas at the Ferry in Glasgow which was cool. But the gigs are few and far between and its such a hassle getting the tubular bells and gongs out for one man and his dog

Hey Jon those pick TRCs look great really well done I dunno if you make them for other folk but I'd certainly buy one! On the Baltic prog front go for it, I've had not real dealings with them but apparently the folk are really nice , no money in it of course but apparently cheap flights are just about to be available from Edinburgh.

Just thought I'd post a pic of the bloke who plays with Italian prog band The Watch, he makes his own 'Handyman' guitars.... nice! [attachment=44652:watch.jpg]

Cheers Jon that's great thanks for the info mate, really useful to know a bit more about the bass. I had it on quite good authority before I went to see the bass that it was a great copy. I have to admit I know nothing about them and got most of the info from this thread and your posts, so cheers! I'm pretty sure it's a real Ric TRC, do people buy them? I'd really like to get my hands on an Ibanez TRC. As for playing in Edinburgh are you talking about Abel Ganz we don't do that many gigs but would love to play Edinburgh, our next gig is in Vilnius at the Baltic prog rock festival, though some of the lads are doing an acoustic set at the Ferry. My rockabilly band The Chihuahuas are meant to be playing some new trad/roots music venue in Edinburgh though at some point though.

[quote name='Annoying Twit' post='771786' date='Mar 11 2010, 04:32 PM']Congrats on your Ibby! Looks great.[/quote] I'm dying to get up the road and have a wee blast of it thru my amp, the life of a wage slave and all that!

Just some more info about my newly purchased Rickenfaker. You might not be able to see the details from the pics, I'll post some more: It's a neck through bass and has checkerboard binding with a gap at the bridge, full length sparkly inlays, there are holes where a thumbrest used to be, and stereo outs marked 'stereosound' and 'standard'. The bloke I bought it from got it ten years ago and that owner had swapped the badge from ibanez to a real ric badge, I think they both worked in music shops at the time so getting ric spares was a possibility. It's a good quality instrument and I believe seller certainly thinks its an ibby and wasn't try to pass it off as something it wasn't. Obviously I'd like it to be an ibanez cos they seem to be the most expensive . I'm sure I'll totally love it and wont give a monkeys what make it is! Any info appreciated though, Jon appears to have the knowledge! Stevie here is the original thread [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=80430&st=0&gopid=771304&#entry771304"]http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=...mp;#entry771304[/url]

Hi Jon I'll post some info on the Rickenfaker thread be great if you had a minute to give me your opinion. Cheers Stevie

[quote name='Bassassin' post='771169' date='Mar 11 2010, 01:30 AM']Very nice! How do you know it's an Ibanez, though? Jon.[/quote] To be honest the guy who was selling it was a friend of a friend and the bass was recommended to me by a guitar tech guy, who is something of a rick fanatic, so i took his word for it. I know you are the man around here when it comes to these things, what should I look for, advice much appreciated!

Just got an Ibanez Rick copy! Pics on another thread. [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=80430"]http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=80430[/url]

Got me an Ibanez Rick copy bloke reckoned it was probably made around 76, neck through version a few dings but I'm a happy man! Very pleased too late at night to play it through an amp though [attachment=44597:pic1.jpg] [attachment=44600:pic2.jpg] And in me house! [attachment=44603:pic3.jpg]

I'd love one of these
