[quote name='karlfer' post='765560' date='Mar 5 2010, 08:10 PM']Hi all. Bought this in December. I have had 3 real Rickenbackers and always sold them on. Bought this to get a "Rick" back in the amoury. Last 4 gigs, it's been tuned up then put in the stand looking pretty, whilst I use my jazz. Watching the Iron Maiden documentary last night was the final straw, I must get a Precision, so reluctantly this must go. So, its a Tokai Rockinbetter (although there does not seem to be any proof Tokai make them). Real Rick pick ups, bridge/tailpiece and wiring. Since buying it, I asked Richard Tomson of Tomson Guitars (Wigan) to cut a new nut, as the original was not great. It has had new strings and a full set up. My photo's will inevitably be crap (if I can upload!), however if you go to e bay, do an advanced search on item number 270492829061, you will find the original listing and excellent photo's. I am looking for a Precision (Steve Harris model would be great, or a white one). Alternatively around £550 cash, collected. I really do think that around £400 of mods on this make it worth about what a new one would cost. Would be delighted to answer any questions. Many thanks, Karl. Sorry, forgot, I live in Wigan but will deliver or meet up free within 50 mile radius. Further than that would need to discuss.[/quote] Was this the bass on ebay before Christmas? Does it sound like a Ric ? I could collect if we strike a deal but only on Monday evening otherwise it would have to be the following week! Look forward to hearing back !!! John

[quote name='Kalim' post='699928' date='Jan 3 2010, 08:21 PM']Hi All, I bought this absolutely superb and very loud 150 watt (12 inch speaker) combo from Carlos on this forum sometime last year and have not gigged it but only a few home twinkles. It is FAR too good to be just used this way and is the best combo I have ever used with a 4 or 5 string courtesy of it high quality speaker and electronics which EBS are renowned for. Everything is working as it should be with no loose controls, etc. This is NOT the cheap China made one but made in Sweeden. It eats 5 string bass - enough said without ever sounding boxy like even some 15 combos with a five string. This is not the new Neo speaker version but when you play through this and hear the depth and quality of sound, !t will not bother you the slightest. Fantastic for slap and great depth for rock as the eq is very powerful and responisve, I am sure you know all the other specs. [b]Will consider trade for a headless 4 string bass Looking for £450 + £25 delivery[/b] Cheers Kalim[/quote] Hi Kalim Do you still have the combo? John

[quote name='Broken Hero' post='760073' date='Feb 28 2010, 07:38 PM']Afraid that I'm not interested in trades at the moment as this sale is a fund-recovery operation for a recent new purchase that I've already made. Sorry Rasta, Si[/quote] Hi How about £475 and a brand new boxed EBS Microbass 11 PreAmp, collection on Friday late afternoon/evening? johnbiffa

How about a p/ex with cash from me for a pristine as new 1996 USA Telecaster , sunburst with maple neck and original unmarked case? John

[quote name='kets' post='733876' date='Feb 3 2010, 11:11 AM']I love Telecasters, and that's a beauty. I don't have £550, but have a bump for a cracking guitar![/quote] Your right there and thanks for the bump !!!

[quote name='monquixote' post='733415' date='Feb 2 2010, 08:17 PM']I have a vintage Yamaha SG1000 if that floats your boat...[/quote] Sadly not but its certainly an interesting suggestion !!! Thanks John

[quote name='johnbiffa' post='731210' date='Jan 31 2010, 11:32 PM']Surely someone wants a classic Tele? Unashamed bump[/quote] Any interesting swaps?

[quote name='cetera' post='726523' date='Jan 27 2010, 04:30 PM']I have a 'display' guitar rack (I believe made by Dixon) which holds 9+ guitars & looks very similar to this.... I can't find an 'actual' picture of mine but you get the idea! It's like the ones you see at Music Trade Shows that have the latest model guitars/basses displayed on them.... It's in an unassembled state at the moment in storage so no actual pictures. Dimensions are approx: Width 5ft 4" Height 5ft Depth at base 2ft 2" These are very hard to get hold of outside of commercial/trade circles & can cost up to £300 but this one can be yours for [b]£120[/b] Pickup from Surrey is infinitely preferable as shipping would be expensive, unwieldy and would be at buyers cost...[/quote] PM'd re purchase and collection John
