You've come to the right place, there are plenty of experts round here with far more knowledge than me. I think they were Japanese copies imported in the 70s.

Do some digging on Rickenfakers, there are plenty of threads around.

this thread made me dig this out

so many gorgeous b lines to choose from on Motown

for reggae I'd go for a 2x15, with a mk 111 or mk vi head

cheap, deep and loud

there's usually one on fleabay or gumtree

I use a mkv1 head with a trace 2x15 and its awesome for reggae

I want to have a few hours on the sub-sofa with some herb and some Upsetters !!

Thought I'd dig this out and get some photos done.

It's been in a mates (dehumidified) cellar for the last 7 years, and doesn't really get look in since I got my Ric.

Got it 2nd hand in 1978, when I was a wee nipper just getting into punk rock !!

I went into the shop to get a £80 Columbus Precision copy, but the bloke insisted I have this for £120 instead. Good man.

cool, and yes love the logo(s) treatment !

possibly my favourite bassline, and the fab four at their peak

+1 for some new found Peavey love!

My current band (ska/reggae/punk) have just moved into a residential rehearsal room and I needed to borrow a head quick to go with my Trace 2 x 15"

So I borrowed a MkVI XP head, and it is very well suited to what we do. Very pleased with it.

Big massive bottom end, warm, punchy and very very loud. Really drives the reggae bits along nicely. It can do a really nice overdriven rock sound too.

So if anybody has one of these going cheap let me know!

got to be the jetglo for me, here's mine

but they do look good in most colours

and I'd love to get hold of a Blackstar too

[i]very reasonable[/i] price now added!

Hi all,

now surplus to requirements, so I may as well let this go

plays well and sounds great

good condition

excellent beginners bass

£110

cheers,
Woodster

Gotta love Primus, just so off the wall and original, I love his playing and tone

RHCP just bore me to tears, I find it hard to listen to more than 20 seconds of Kiedis

all IMHO of course!

seems a fair price, I paid 1200 for my '03 4003

but yes times are bad, very little spare cash around

good luck with the sale

I rehearse through one of these at Quad in Leicester and it is the mutts nutts

somebody is getting a bargain

this looks really interesting at the right price point

I currently use a b2 for effects at rehearsals, but use a toneport ux1 with my computer for recording, this could replace both.

creating patches at home with the aid of computer software, then using them live = dream scenario

practice at home for me is all on headphones due to small children

but I do get the box room as a music room with mac/toneport/keyboards all set up permanently

Rancid's Matt Freeman is always good for me

this is a favourite of mine

london calling by the clash, last night

classic stuff, and realised recently I've never had a go at it

good times - chic
nice n sleazy - the stranglers
ceremony - new order
summertime rolls - jane's addiction
rain - the beatles
club foot - kasabian
exodus - bob marley

+ 1 for Hawkwind. Some great music, particularly the Bob Calvert era.
