    At least you can adjust the intonation. Am I wrong in saying you can't adjust the truss on any Rick, or was it the early models.
  2. bubinga5
    The only possibility I would play a Rick is if the cover came off (if I had a spare 2 hours), The bridge was the HipShot replacement. The rubbish Rickofart pickups were replaced, and the neck was replaced to a single truss rod neck.

    Definitely not a wall hanger. Dont think its a collectors instrument/Fender. I know the very bass you mean and it is lovely.

    . Simon is still on guitar. Andrew is still on bass. And yes N'dea was and always will be the BNH voice. Glad she is back. Drummer.. .Luke Harris.?

    I will be attending these guys. I love my HipHop. And I love Goldie Lookin Chain. They have the drop on snotty HipHop. Now this is down to earth UK Hip Hop. Dirty Rap was blamed for everything. Which is nonsense obviously. Brilliant GLC

    Going to see BNH and Incognito at the end of the month with fellow musicians and friends at the Mello festival and my all knowing musical sister. She knows her soul and funk music like know one else.. Great to see N'dea Davenport back with them. Some of the best music ive ever heard over the years comes from this fantastic band..

    I dont think so Mike. I use two techniques. One is playing finger style and using the back of my thumb to mute any ringing from maybe the B or E etc then pop with the fingers outstretched. The other is the usual thumb pop. My left hand deals with any muting issues in that respect and im very spider like on my left hand, my dad taught me piano and that independent finger style has stayed with me. . . Its very difficult to explain anything you do automatically because you want a good clean tone. Its a combo of left and right hands and intuitive. Im sure you understand this as ive seen your fantastic playing and your technique is great.

    I will go for the Dingwall Voodoo Prima 6 string..That bass is just wonderful. Showed the wife. She told me I'm not having any tea tonight.

    Mate. Need, Want, Need, Want. Seems clear to me.

    Seems that way. Now.... this is not technically GAS if I actually need something.!?

    Lakland 44-60 Jazz bass for sale. now £470. Get yourself a bargain Lakland. These are £1190 new. No dings or cracks on the body/finish, just swirls in the finish and the odd small ding on the headstock which I can't photograph. No pickguard when i bought it. There is a blemish on the neck with I have taken a pic of. Thats all the bad bits out of the way. The good bits. The neck on this is just way out there skinny. 36mm at the bridge. Its so comfortable with a matt finish. The Hanson/Lakland USA pickups have a very hot output. They sound amazing. The harmonics on this bass ring better than my Sei Jazz. Its just a great 60's jazz. I have lemon oiled the fretboard and put on some brand new EB Super Slinkys. Ive taken it to rehearsals with the EB strings and it sounds immense. Its a Lakland we all know how good they are . I can now post as i have a box with lots of packing etc. Ideally you can come and play it through my amplification. Or I can meet up within a reasonable distance.

    I forgot my Amp last night, so plugged into a Laney of some sort and a Kustom 410. This sound issue disappeared. !!?? The G string was super loud when popped. I can only guess its down to the Genz 210.???

    Bummer, the outer of the bush is 14mm across . Was worth a try. 😂
  15. bubinga5
    Ahh sorry I've just seen the bushing bit. Let me know the mm of the outer bushing . You never know.

    Mate I have some USA UltraLights from my Sei.They are old school HS without the logo, but they are cloverleaf and are USA. If you let me know the diameter I will check if they will fit. If they fit you can have them for free.
  17. bubinga5
    I could be totally wrong but there are different sizes with Hipshot tuners.are you sure you have right diameter HIpshot diameter.?

    Dan the whole page was very sensitive about hurting anyones feelings. Which is all well and lovely, but as we all know people have opinions..There is a line to be drawn of course. None of us want any hate or total disregard for anyones playing or feelings. But it was just a question about a particular bass manufacturer and what people may/might not like about Rikenbackers. Whats the problem.? I don't see Fender getting upset when someone said they didn't like the tone of a Jazz bass, or the opinion of any other instrument. Im afraid that particular FB group was a way too stifling. Im not sure John Hall can sue a FB group for having an opinion on his instruments, absolutely not.

    We are not offending old people. We are not offending disabled people. We are merely disscussing a brand that makes millions from making instruments that some people dont like. Its ok to offend as long as its in a constructive way. To be honest the forum was turning into an endless Alder or Ash argument. Or show your bass face endlessly. And Ok of course this is all good fun. But im kind of glad its not on my FB feed anymore. Im sure hes a lovely guy and i shouldn't have called him a proper clown. But it was all too.lets not offend anyone in any way. If anyone told me my Sei bass was stinky poo i would in a second get over it.

    The original bridge was 18mm on these TRB's. So I reckon the HS will have the same string adjustability. Seems like this bass has been adjusted for someones liking of tight string spacing.
  21. bubinga5
    Francis Hylton played one of these before his Atelier Z affiliation . about 3 mins in. Wonderful playing wonderful sounding bass.

    A lot of years in on this forum im still learning and thankful to the amazing peoples knowledge on here. . Im going to ask the drummer and guitarist to play before our rehearsal. And ask what they hear. I dont mind that my Sei has some quirks (if that's the case) because i love the natural tone of the instrument played finger style. Thats why i waited for 8 years to get it back.. On another note, I love the Genz Benz stuff but Im going back to Aguilar as that was my first love of bass amplification.
  23. bubinga5
    Yes you could be right Ped.. I dont slap a lot on it anyway. The neck pickup needed adjusting much closer to the strings so that could be the problem. Will see. I can always use the Lakland Jazz for any slap parts as its an absolute beast.
  24. bubinga5
    Well I'm not sure yet as I haven't been to a rehearsal to see if my adjustments have sorted it. I will report back. Thanks for the help guys. Hmm strange you couldn't PM me.

    The bass has Labella Stainless Steel's on it.
