    If you still have the original and it's defective Andy at Wizard has been known to work wonders. Not just repairing but re-winding.

    If he's been playing it for 30's years is it a wonder he hasn't been able to cultivate any feedback score?

    I really do WANT to sell this guys Bump

    You won't find one in better nick than this I suspect i.e. it's not possible to. Offers considered. Bump

    Good morning Jon. I'd say that it probably lasts as long as it takes to establish that all is okay, and that shouldn't be unreasonably delayed by the seller either. If a fault then occurs it's seen to be the buyers responsibility unless it can be shown that it was an obvious fault waiting to happen. As you say, helping out/sharing costs is what I would do if it went Pete Tong in a disputable manner. I've done this in the past paying for a new neck for a bass even though I would argue it arrived to the buyer intact (I delivered). If I bought an amp and it just didn't work I'd want a full refund or a commitment to fully fund the repair at least. If Chris's guy just went awol I'd say that was well out of order. You may like to comment Mr Baker? Peter

    What was I thinking?? Withdrawn. I'm putting my LMII up for sale. It's it new condition with rack ears and original box. Hell I'll throw in a kettle lead for free. I don't think I need to tell you what they are like as you all pretty much know methinks. This hasn't been abused in any way, never used beyond about 5 on the 'go' knob and it's only seen occasional home use (too loud) and about 5 band practices. Looking for £425 delivered to the UK. Do you really need a photo? Peter

    It's an interesting issue that I have wondered about but don't often see discussed on BC or anywhere else. As in who's responsability is it to make sure that the goods arrive safely and working? I've always taken it, unless stated otherwise by the seller (and some do) that it's the seller's responsability to ensure that the goods arrive safe and working. If I sell something and it either doesn't get there (very rare in my experience) of is damaged/not working then I sort it out. Insurance is therefore entirely for the seller's benefit. So, is this the way it is? I'm surprised this guy had the cheek to return if he's gone 'incommunicado' after selling you a head that didn't work, whether or not it stopped working after it left him.

    [quote]Don't suppose you have a Rick 4001 C64 McCartney, do you?[/quote] I certainly do, a C64S, and a Chris Squire. Both immense basses. The C64S has flats on and it's the nearest to a 'real' bass I've heard Both not for sale though. Yes the Thumb is a real beauty. The neck is amazing, hewn out of granite! The Modulus is sold awaiting collection. They are all great basses. The Warmoth is a superb workhorse, the neck is extremely comfortable. Yep I know it's not a 'real' horseshoe. The Extra's are pure bolt on and setting the bass back to 'normal' is a straightforward option so I intend to sell 'as is' at the moment. It's just a standard Ric with fitted options really. I'm thinking £950? It is early. Once I've 'refined' my collection and have my new ACG in hand I'll do a photo shoot. Peter

    [quote]i want 200 quid back ;-) in new light its obvious you overcharged me for the bb5000.[/quote] Aha Rob, BB5000 is quite a different beast - honestly.
  15. GreeneKing
    Yep I'm single okay. I wonder why? My other bikes and basses are in the spare room

    [quote]A Price is nice![/quote] I agree, but such is the nature of these things I'm not sure of the value. Rics tend to fetch a fair amount and interest would be an indicator of desirability. What would YOU suggest
  17. GreeneKing
    Jeez.... well done that man! I'm selling basses, reducing collection, saving money, poor student, getting a life etc. but if I'd have seen it for £150 BIN I'd have jumped too.

    my rather stunning Rickenbacker 4003 Mapleglo. It's a 2006 model with the Vintage Tone Control. If you look closely you can see that it is sporting a delightful little number by way of a 'Pickguardian' bridge pup surround (gives greater access and doesn't leave an unsightly hole) and those truly observant of you may note that it has a superior Hipshot bridge (easier intonation adjustment and greater stability). It's pretty much immaculate except for a couple of tiny marks on the neck where it fell off the stand - doh! I'm determined to get my collection down to 10 and as I already have two other Ric's I'm considering letting it go. I have the original bridge and 'Horseshoe' as well as the Ric case. Anyone interested? Oh and it's the one on the left Peter

    [quote]I think OBBM has had a Lakland routed to take a P from a Darkstar, maybe he'll chime in with some wisdom.[/quote] I think that was a Duck Dunn originally with the Darkstar. I now have that very DS in my Warmoth and I think that Dave went back to a P pup (Wizard?)

    I've just been 'chatting' with Al (Niceguyhomer) about Alan Cringeon's ACG filter based pre-amps as featured in BGM this month and it occurred to me the real difference between his pre and the more usual 2/3 EQ systems (or even passive controls come to that) found both inboard and outboard of a bass. With an ACG filter based pre you 'produce' your tone, the tone you want. With a 2/3+ EQ system you 'tweak' it. Just a thought really, that I thought was worth sharing.

    Very nice and I think 'white is right'.

    "Smoke on the Water" I know, I should've done it years ago. Last week it was "Apache"

    [quote]PHWOAR!![/quote] You know BBC, a thank you cause yet again you made me laugh out loud. You know IncX I'd give a lot to have straight black hair (any hair would be good). Have you got the Vampyre yet?

    Mmmmm... very nice

    That's one amazing piece of work there Ross. As a 4 string limited player (better word than musician in my case) I wouldn't actually know what to do with one (except prod at the strings making noise) but I can really appreciate the ascetics and the quality of the work. I never drop my basses but I'd be paranoid of dropping that on its lower horn. I think the back in particular is visually quite stunning. So Ross, are there any pics of your own beast out there? Found the thread, loving that top horn design. [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=8147&hl=fleeting&st=80"]http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=...eting&st=80[/url] If I were well wealthy I'd love to commission a bass from Jim and Robbie to compliment my ACG (or three). There's something about daring to be different and treading a slightly more interesting path imo. We bassists do seem to be, in the main, a very conservative lot. I'm sure Jazz basses are all fine and dandy (I do have one) but the idea of getting yet another Jazz/Precision lookalike made doesn't appeal. If I wanted a Jazz I'd be straight on the phone to Warmoth anyway as I did with my totally immense 54P/Jazzneck/Darkstar. Peter
