Stacker

[quote name='Bassassin' post='977686' date='Oct 4 2010, 09:23 PM']Not entirely convinced RIC's reach extends to the Czech Republic - in fact not too far outside the US. Lots of Rick copies seem to get openly sold with impunity these days, so it's probably a bit more than they can cope with. These are definitely a bit special-looking compared to the run-of-the-mill Rockinbetters & Anniversaries, and I'd love to get a good look at one. If I remember rightly there have been a few Bach threads on here before, although not for a while. Didn't the main guy from Bach actually post here a few times? Jon.[/quote] If that's the case, all the better! It'll put those fuds on RR in a right knot! I'm almost tempted to go post there under my sockpuppet name and go 'Seen this?' just to watch the fireworks. Agreed: miles better than those others you mentioned. I rather like the Entwistle-inspire Fenderbird; I'd have that! In Zebra stripes. Speaking of shid Rick-a-likes, I bought an Alden Beatbacker a few years back, on a whim. It was awful: rough, unsealed wood in parts, buzzy electrics and a scratchplate that still had the straight-edge of the cutting machine on one side, Sent it back to 'Wales' where, after much humming and hawing, I was given a refund.

Wow. Are these basses for sale, do you know? Or is that just a gear porn page?

I'll bet the RIC police on Rickresource contacted John Hall long ago about these fellas; I'm surprised they haven't gotten an injuction slapped on them yet, for they've been out for a while.

[quote name='KiOgon' post='967819' date='Sep 25 2010, 05:27 PM']Cool but short lived, however Traci looks lovely - now new wallpaper on my 'phone, SOG I know.[/quote] Yeh, she's nice but I much prefer Rammstein's 'Krankenschwester' as my phone theme!

I reckon that's either a Schecter or (more likely) an ESP Horizon. In fact, I'm sure it's the latter, though I never saw that pup config on the ESP. A good neck and decent, riveted(?) tuners, from what I can make out. You selling it?

[quote name='bh2' post='963566' date='Sep 21 2010, 05:26 PM']THIS is a jazz... 1962... fretless, J-Retro, DiMarzios...[/quote] I like that. A lot!

Go Seam Foam Green, mate, or turquoise. Get some pickguards and surrounds from Pickguardian and put in some real RIC pups!! I had an Ib like that as a kid and that front pup was as weak as sin!

Ok, gonna be cruel here: that headstock. Hamer coulda smoothed that out a bit!

What a lovely looking bass.

That was an under-rated bass, that. If I recall, the 2-TEK cost a few quid in its own, but I can't give you a figure for resale, mate. Does the bridge make the bass a bit heavy and how about posting a few pix?

Fender caused all this nonsense back in the '80s by naming the stack-knob reissue a '62 reisssue' when, in fact, the stackers were made between '60-'61 with a few leftovers being punted out in '62. It should really, therefore, be called the 1960 reissue. The 62RIs coming out if Japan should, as stated, have the spiral bridge and grounding strap. As far as I know they're all alder though would not discount the use of basswood. They'll have the dot neck and three pot config.
