Hi there! Welcome to the forum from one that still rides.

[quote name='LWTAIT' post='396499' date='Jan 31 2009, 10:33 PM']that could get really annoying moving up and down the fretboard.[/quote] Surely no more than a single cut bass as your thumb should be behind the neck and not hanging over the top edge. This is afterall a design exercise.

Might I suggest you get the prototype to some of the 'bassbash' gatherings this year and let people try it for themselves. I might be interested in a ten inch speaker option if you decide to make one, I like tens.... I have quite a few of them. :-)

For what it,s worth, how about shape 2 but with the top horn joining with the body again further up (just for fun and the fact it hasn,t been done before) so it makes a bigger semi circle in the cutaway line and forms a handle for easy carrying :-)

NBZ used to rehearse at a studio back in the late eighties where I used to work and I remember having to always have to chase them up for their studio hire account. Roman holiday!! Yeahh I remember them.. did a cool rocknroll number called Motormania!!

Nice rig! The SVT2 pro is a great amp, enjoy.

I said that for years and finally got a 4003 just a couple of years back and love it to bits. I used it in our 'blindside video and with it now tuned bead it really roars!!.

Be thankful that loonies like me are rare, and we live in a lovely world run by people who know f@ck-all about anything and because of that, everything's great for everyone! J.[/quote] Nice one Jon!! Long live the King of Japcrap!!!!

Our guitarist wanted to trash a guitar during one of our videos and the vintage was just sitting there at the time. You can see the throw about halfway thru and the bounce in the closing scenes. It,s on our website, video is for'Burn'. The neck of the guitar is hung on my wall where I,m sitting.

For what it,s worth, their six strings 'bounce' really well. They take about five throws before they really start to come apart.

I presume you,ve all seen al,s fabulous 4003 build in the build threads?? defo worthy of a place in the rickenbuggery hall of fame!

Wot jon said! Oh and the company was started in 1958( or there abouts) by Hyo Ick Lee! Merry christmas!!!

[quote name='dood' post='361305' date='Dec 22 2008, 07:09 PM']Can I get a hell yeah ;o) lol[/quote] Aww go on then Hell Yeahhhh!!. Howzat?

Amazing!! I,ve been reading the original thread on talk bass all afternoon (with a pub break in between) and you,ve done an amazing job.

Thats a sweet bass there!!! If you have a Rickenfaker then you really should post some details and pics in the 'rickenbuggery' thread in gear porn. This sounds fun!!

Routing systems!! Yeeeeaahhhh!! Bring it on!!!

Isn,t it about time someone resurrected the Rickenbuggery thread?

ARGH Got It in one!!

Ullo! Welcome to the forum!! I tend to Lurk on here a bit too, a good crowd and often a good smile to be had!!!

I found a solution to my pedal board requirements when I built my GCX rig a couple of years ago.. I think there is still a build diary bit on this site somewhere

[quote name='bassmanady' post='334363' date='Nov 22 2008, 12:44 PM']I would hang this on my studio wall as a piece of art...very much like it..Reminds me of a Roland bass in design(i think)that has a supporting arm[/quote] you mean the G77.

I,ve liked these for quite a while, congrats on getting such a cool bass.
