Removed from my Rickenbacker 4003, by my Luthier, my neck genuine and original neck pickup.
I’ve had an after-market variant installed, and as such, have no use for this one.
New, they retail on Rickysounds at well over £150 - I’m only asking £50, plus £6 postage (UK).
Payment by PayPal ‘gift’ please.
Thanks for looking! SB 😀

Now sorted!

I quite like some of their stuff, but sadly, it has been overplayed.
If I'm reaching for LS, it's the Gimme Back My Bullets album. Darker, grittier....that's my Skynyrd. I find Street Survivors a bit light in comparison. Nuthin' Fancy just behind as my number 2.

Female Keyboard player got a tag for benefit fraud. She'd claimed loads in disability whilst being OK.
I left, band then folded immediately. Shame, it was a great originals band. Singer and her were an item.
Recently, their both in new relationships, but he was on holiday with her and her new husband....who's his double. In a photo, I thought it was him!

Brand new, still sealed and unused.
25ft Ernie Ball cable in black.
Bought in error, so this one has to go.
Retail at £35, I'm only asking £25, and that will be sent free to you within the UK.
Payment by PayPal gift please, PM with any questions/interest.
Thanks for looking! SB

Also used to run a MB 121 combo with a 12" cab. Very nice.
I now run a 2x12 MB cab. Seperate amp (Little Marcus 58R).
Either way, a MB 2x12 works brilliantly, whichever way you achieve it.

Definitely my attack, string choice, Markbass.
Whether I gig with my 'Ray or Ricky, to me, I don't sound a million miles apart!

I find it with older basses in general.
My Stinger is a 2010 2-band. Easily adjustable, battery compartment a breeze to access....it sounds just like a Stingray to me!
Can't see the point in going backwards. Had the same issues with my old Ricky 4001's. Never found anything that I couldn't get from a newer, more adjustable instrument that I'd rely on.
Just my opinion, others may have different results....

Not at all, really.
Only a few albums in the house....Mum's old Elvis....GI Blues, Something For Everybody and Blue Hawaii. Not his best!
Carpenters 'brown' compilation....'69-73? Plus my brothers Wombling Songs album.
The latter got me into music, Mike Batt is a legend in my book for the doors he opened with those songs.
So as a bassist, no influence, but getting into a lifelong musical obsession....yes!

Please excuse my lameness on this....
I'm never been a pedal user, but have recently been dipping my toe in the water. Using a Dunlop phaser, and now an Electro Harmonix chorus.
I run the phaser lead in, lead out to amp. The EH has got an Amp, and Input socket. Am I right that I can just run a patch cable from the phaser to the input socket? Then amp to the...amp?
Also, I can power one with a 9v cable, that will do both?
I know it's mad, but after years of plug and go, I'm entering a new and exciting world!

Anyone caught any of the dates so fat?
I'm going tomorrow, first time seeing GH. I've always loved Mk. 3 and 4 Purple since hearing as a late 80s teen, far prefer it to any of their other material. As a soul fan, I always appreciated that element of era. 'Come Taste The Band' is maybe my top Purple album.
I always read how he's in fine voice, so looking forward to this. Not sure if he'll perform the whole of 'Burn' or not - just hope he does 'Lay Down, Stay Down' - always been a personal fave of mine!

Two 4-pole speakon cables. Both as new....tried, but never anything more. I replaced the amp which uses 2-poles....so no longer have any use for these.
One is an Orange, the other a Stagg, IIRC. Orange is 1m, Stagg is double, must be 2!
Only looking for £12 for the pair, posted to your door in the UK. PayPal 'gift' please.

Actually placed a Designacable order today. Green lead with yellow ends....😳

Overrated - Vintage gear
Underrated - Controversially, the Stingray. Think in recent years, its fallen out of favour a bit, and as such, represents a used bargain. Back in the 90s every indiie band had one....now, a bit under the radar?

I'm fascinated by these!
Which cable goes in which input?
I guess I'd need two amps as well?
From memory, didn't some players put one pup through a guitar amp?

I had an AM trial with my phone - I'm a serial streamer, and usually Qubuz subscriber.
Within a few days, I'd given up on the trial and returned to Q. Quality wasn't as good (very dependent on your setup), but not as user-friendly, either.
Not sure if all usual content was there, either.
