    Let's hope it was a commission sale and not an instrument they took in PX 🤔

    Always wanted one, never one around when I had the cash

    I don't think they do mate, yes there's certainly a lot of it, but there's other stuff also. But I struggle to find solo fretless that doesn't have that tone. I even listened to a demo of a beautiful acoustic fretless a few weeks back and, you guessed it, Jaco Very happy to be proved wrong

    First time I played my 4003 FL live - the first track of a small gig playing Whole Lotta Love - the feeling of pure joy as I kicked in with THAT bassline wasn't just me, the whole band and some of the audience got it as well. For me it's a sound that just works on some tracks and not on others, I'd certainly have another Ric FL if one came up 👍

    I'm a big fan of fretless in ensemble playing, but why do nearly all fretless soloists appear to produce the same nasal and vibrato-rich tone, almost irrespective of instrument and genre (dare I say the J word.....)?

    He appears to know what he's doing 👍
  7. Beedster
    That about sums it up 👍

    In my experience having owned four, Rics are like girlfriends, always a really good reason why we got together and always an equally good reason why it didn't work out..... Spent my whole life dating Rics, Wals, married a Precision 👍

    Yes, te Fender Custom Shop Jaco Pastorius was similarly a rip off, I lifted it out of its case with the reverence that it undoubtedly deserved, plugged i in to my B-15 and started playing, and it sounded like some fecking idiot from Kent was playing it

    Very nice work 👍

    You haven't missed it yet Andy

    There is indeed @Muppet And yes, in my limited experience with it, it's appears very well voiced, one of those units on which pretty much all the settings sound musical one way or another 👍

    10kgs or very close (can't speak to the accuracy of the digital scales). That's naked. i.e., out of the rack case. Oddly it felt heavier 🤔

    The bass playing world would be far less rich without Rickenbackers 👍

    I found a link on Talkbass that states 24lbs, I'll confirm tonight 👍

    Hello mate, i'll measure tonight but if you're looking for lightweight best look elsewhere I'm afraid

    Ha ha, that OP made me chuckle, as did the fact that he joined, had a rant about Rics and hasn't been seen since 🤔

    I quite liked him, he's an odd mix of comfortable and uncomfortable in that video, I wonder if he was simply having a bad case of stage fright in part because he's found himself a little out of his depth doing that interview? I'd happily sit and have a few beers with him 👍
  20. Beedster
    OK, I give in, I'll watch it tonight 👍
  21. Beedster
    Ha ha, I don't think you're alone in owning some of my ex gear mate And that's a bloody nice cab isn't it 👍
  22. Beedster
    That's why I mentioned cognitive dissonance, sink that much cash into anything you have to get something out of it?
  23. Beedster
    I'm assuming it's just a car crash then, I find enough of that stuff on YT inadvertently without having to watch it on purpose 👍
  24. Beedster
    But good for him, we've all gotta do daft things, perhaps he might be hoping that the cognitive dissonance associated with the outlay is going to motivate him 🤔

    Buying that particular bass when not being able to play fretless is like me buying a helicopter however....
