Many thanks guys, really appreciated. A lot to think about (Jeez, about strings???? once upon a time it was Rotosound or Audition 😆). -
Rickenbacker 4003 lower tension strings. help please.
karlfer replied to karlfer's topic in Bass Guitars
Many thanks folks appreciated. Which version of TI flats as a starting point? @4000 happy to drop to 40-100 or even 40-95. What would you recommend, I know you are a bit Rick fan with a lot of experience (or is that taste4000, I'm old tha knows!). I just find the Rick has a bit more tension on my usual strings. I have some lower tension Dunlop Super Bright 45-105 on my Road Worn Jazz & they feel good a play great. Perhaps a lighter gauge in them? -

D'Addario EXL 165, 45-105 -
Help if you can folks. I always find string tension on my 4003s a little bit too much. I have thought of the lower tension flatwounds but they are an expensive mistake to make. Anybody's experience, thoughts appreciated. Ta muchly.

Welcome back David, that is gorgeous! Surf Green, matching headstock, Jazz nut width (or 40mm).💓 Sorry, drifted off there. Ah yes, welcome back.

Dave has just met me to exchange my Dimension Deluxe for his coins of the realm. It's been an absolute pleasure dealing with Dave, his comms have been great, he did what he said he would do, when he said he'd do it. Even when I managed to find the wrong Abbey car park in Jedburgh (yup, I managed to do that 😚), he was very forgiving & came to find me. A joy Dave, thanks for everything & enjoy that great bass.

I normally withdraw a bass after 2 weeks. I put them up at a cash price that I think is fair to buyer & seller. On the rare occasion folk don't agree, I usually keep it 🙂. Invariably, a few weeks later somebody gets in touch. Anyway, for the time being I'm leaving the advert live as there are 2 folk on the fund raising trail, and one considering a trade I was interested in. Thanks for all the interest peeps.

Hiya Dunc, yeah things ok now mate. Sorry for the late reply was gigging at Whitby last night & catching up with stuff today. And snoring, yes, a lot of snoring. 3 more inquiries on this bass again today but currently still available. Keep a look out for somebody putting up a very nice fretless tomorrow night 😉

Black, black, maple. Fender Deluxe range became Elite then Ultra. This was £1350 in 2013. Fender humbuckers, 5 position switch, 18V pre amp, bass/mid/treble cut or boost. Asymmetrical neck with compound taper fretboard (9.5 inch to 14 inch). Really super necks, with graphite rods & a truss rod WHEEL, yay! 41.3mm nut, weight is 9lb 1oz, Ash body. Comes with original big TSA hardcase in excellent condition. All case candy, even case keys, included. Despite Fender doing a full range of these from a single pup passive Squier right up to this top of the range model, they never really caught on. Perhaps too modern for most Fender lovers. Most who have them rate them rather highly. Last of my active basses to go, I just don't use them, this has never left the house. TRADES. I would prefer a sale however I would do a straight swap for a 2102-2015 American Precision in excellent condition. Possibly American Special Precision + £150 to me. COURIER. I'd rather not, it's big case & it's going to cost a buyer around £70 fully insured (obviously cheaper if they want to take the risk). Prefer collection from Darlington but would meet up within a hundred miles radius. Feedback available, many thanks for looking, cheers, Karl.
