His ex-wife ran off with that and the 21 fret Rick and put them up for auction years later. [/quote] The 21 Fretter popped in Music Ground on a commission sale. Some eagle-eyed fella spotted it and next thing it was all over the RRF forum where the excitable little souls over there gor themselves into a right froth over it. But, with their assistance and that of a big CS fan, the bass was retrieved. [url="http://www.rickresource.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=20&t=382355"]It's an interesting read.[/url]

I know he was using that Maestro Brassmaster around that time which might account for this different tone but I'm sure that's still a Rick. Interesting.............

Looks like a head-to-head with random Ps and EB0s.............

Aria Cardinal or a Grant/Columbus EB0 copy

w***er signs? I think you need to watch out for the flying (full) cans of Red Stripe or glass ashtrays which peppered my gigging days in dive bars back in the '80s: that's a sure sign the punters don't like you! Maybe the youth of today are a bit less violent?

IIRC, they used to come with a micro switch that allowd you to take it down to a single coil. Dunno if the still do but I did consider one years ago for a Ibby Rick that had one.

Yeh, been doing the rounds. I blame WHitney Houston for all that sh*t!

He's fond of cabinets.....

[quote name='Master blaster' timestamp='1357904054' post='1930234'] You think this guy spends much time in country pubs outside of London with Mark Percy? [/quote] Who IS this Mark Percy fella? I've just had a v quick look at his site but I'd rather hear about him from BCers. So, go on, who is he?

Reminds me of the £1500 Martin D-45 that was advertised last year on London Gumtree. On asking to view, seller said they had relocated to the Shetland Isles. "No probs" said I," I'll just hop on a 'plane! Gimme your address?" Response came there none!

[quote name='Godber' timestamp='1329777199' post='1547327'] The "specials" last year were a selection of guitars for the opening of Guitar Guitar in Epsom (I think). It was a load of very high priced top end guitars - the 381 and 325 re-issues etc. Nothing different as such, but selected especially for the store opening by the company. The Japanese RIC distributors requested specials too for their anniversary last year - the got some very nice white with CB 4003s. [/quote] I had a very rare 4001 like this a few years ago. The CB was actually 'reverse', in that black was more prominent than the white. I eventually sold to a guy in Germany but not before those clowns over at RRF had it marked down as a 'fake'.
