    Yep I'd bet that someone has offered him something like £350 cash possibly collected within the last 24hrs
    Similar thing happend to me once.

    Request his address and you'll probably get his phone number too !

    I'd make the little winker squirm for as long as you can

    Thoughts?[/quote]

    I think the latter Gary, the old originals ones are always going to sought after especially with the new ones costing £700 !
    The new Duff Sig model dosent even have Seymour Duncans fitted

    Don't bother with the AKG Bug system it is Poo
    Very flimsy all plastic construction and not that good with range or quality.

    I've now got an Audio Technica 1400 series system that is superb

    You get what you pay for in this case, try and buy a good used system.

    Hipshot Rickenbacker Bridge

    Just received my replacement Hipshot Ric Bridge and it is superb
    I never liked the original Ric bridge, I play with a pick and you can't palm mute, it alway felt a bit 'wooly' to play especially acoustically, the intonation was horrible, the action was ish !

    The Hipshot (I've got the Aluminium one) is superb, its a direct fit, Intonation is spot on, action is actually lower as you can adjust each string, sustain and feel is solid as a rock



    All in all its expensive, but well worth it
    Anyone else got one or pondering getting one ?

    I have a 4003 and a Fender P and find the Ric lacks 'Punch & kick' even against the Fender P
    I've now just got a MXR M80 pedal as it has Bass / Mid / Treb / Volume controls (Ideal to balance your bass output) but also a separate channel for a bit of Overdrive (if thats your bag)

    But I have to admit if I want to cut more through I use the Precision

    What effect does he use?

    Now these basses have been around for a while
    I was wondering if anyone uses one and how they are getting on with it

    Have you had any reliability problems

    Is it really all your answers in one bass?
    Not everyones taste, but especially in the covers band market could be ideal !?

    Heres a question thats been niggling, as its a modeling bass does it make any difference
    to the sound if you have new strings or old strings on the bass ?

    Cheers

    Used to use thinner grey nylon picks as I thought thick = clicky
    but I find the more solid the pick the smoother the sound

    I also like the indent on the 'Stubby' stops the pick from slipping when sweaty

    Cheers Guys

    Superb response as usual, just goes to show what a fantastic place this is

    I'm going to carefully clean it up, its in great complete condition for a 30+year old bass
    Not sure what I'll do with it, probably sell it and put the proceeds into something I will use !

    Thanks again
    Ade
