    Here we have a smashing mid-70s Japanese Rickenbacker 4001 copy, a true lawsuit copy if ever there was one. It really is an almost exact copy of the real thing, and even has neck-through construction - a lot of the copies from this era were bolt-on. In fact, the only detail that lets it down a bit are the generic no-name tuners (that otherwise function fine). The construction and electronics on this bass are all sound - the chap I bought it from had the electronics and wiring given a professional once-over before it reached me. Having owned a genuine 4001 I would go as far as saying this one is easier to play, and it nails the sound too. For a bass of this vintage it is in excellent condition - there are some nicks and dings around the bottom edge of the body, and a few very light lacquer chips - but nothing to affect playability. Any questions feel free to ask. I am after £350 inc. postage.

    I quite like it, but it would be ten times better if it had authentic pickups on it, i.e. not modern Tbird pickups hidden under the old-style covers. Also, you know the price is going to be comical.

    Bump for a beautiful bass.

    To be honest, I think the Muff and Wah are the key to his tone. I don't think your choice of amp matters one jot.

The first complete song I learned was Bowie's 'John, I'm Only Dancing', as it was transcribed in the forst copy of Bassist I ever bought.

    A Bump for a sadly unobtainable (for me) beauty.
  10. Cosmo Valdemar
    If I didn't already have one I would be all over this. My one took the place of my US Precision bass, simply because it sounds better. Someone snap this one up now!

    [quote name='BassApprentice' post='1212987' date='Apr 27 2011, 06:54 PM']Hi there It will be £200 plus postage for the both of them. If you want to PM me your postcode I will try and work out the very best and cheapest form of getting them down to you? Cheers Mikey[/quote] Great price, I'm trying to shift some of my own stuff at present so may be getting back to you. If anything, have a BUMP on me.

    Whereabouts on London are you based?

    Dear lord that's amazing... Now then, how to raise £600...

Ask for the Naughty Bits Clinic.[/quote] It looks like a safety bass, no sharp edges.

    I was going to comment on the headstock, but it's already been said.

    [quote name='Chris2112' post='1213934' date='Apr 28 2011, 04:27 PM']As for the show, it's a shame he has had to play a Marcus Miller jazz bass.[/quote] Do you really consider that to be a 'shame'? Seems like he was lucky to get such a bass for the gig, it could have been infinitely worse! I'd love it if Victor had something of a revelation, and switched over to Fenders

    Sorry If I missed it, but how much for the two?
  18. Cosmo Valdemar
    I think the black bass in the Basschat banner at the top of the screen should be replaced with that picture of Jeff.
  19. Cosmo Valdemar
    I'd love a bass made out of Dragonwood. Couldn't somewhere like the Bass Gallery or the American Guitar Centre pick these up?
  20. Cosmo Valdemar
    I wish Fender would reissue the 60s slab Precision bass, as used by Entwistle - not so much for the bass itself (although that would be seriously cool), but for that incredible soundng pickup/tone circuit. Nobody seems to knows what was done differently, the fact is they sound utterly amazing. It's all there on Live at Leeds.

    [quote name='AlexKay1980' post='1207577' date='Apr 21 2011, 09:49 PM']The only trade I would be interested in would be a Steinberger bass (USA) from the same year =)[/quote] Ain't got one of those! Best of luck with the sale, it's a beautiful bass.
  22. Cosmo Valdemar
    I was after a Rickenbacker for ages, saw a 1981 4001 and took it as 'a sign'. Bought it, turned out it was a stunningly mediocre bass in all aspects other than appearance, so I sold it shortly after. There are dozens of old basses I would love, but it would only be a novelty extra if they were from 1981.
  23. Cosmo Valdemar
    I would have had this it it wasn't for the distance! Bump for a great amp at a great price.
  24. Cosmo Valdemar
    Not interested in any trades perchance?
