    Toying with the idea of selling both these cabs and replacing with a Goliath 111 (4 ohm). Both these cabs are 8 ohm, latest versions with chrome grill. Both have tweeters, both USA made, 2 speakons/2 jacks The Goliath 111 is a 4x10, 700watts. The Son of Bertha is a 1x15, 350 watts. Both are in very good condition, the only issue being some of the paint has come off 1 of the spring handles on the 4x10. I have no photos apart from a poor one taking at a recent gig. If there is any real interest I will take some. I won't be splitting. Now £550 delivered (less than half of cost of new, which, er, they aren't) within 100 miles of Wigan. BARGAIN! Any questions please contact me. Many thanks, Karl. post edited as I forgot the pics! My feedback below, please click on link.

    [quote name='Bassassin' post='1095013' date='Jan 19 2011, 12:28 PM']Early Jedsons, like the one you mention, were cheap & nasty but the later & higher-end ones were decent quality. There are Jedson geeks who will pay a fortune for the Matsumoku-built Les Paul copies, the "proper" Telecaster clones & some of the acoustics. This bass was sold branded as Jedson & a few other names but most were unbranded. They're pretty well-made as it happens & I'd quite like one to match my guitar version of the same thing! J.[/quote] OK, sloping back to the corner I should be in . Please tell me I'm right with Kay HideousBacker though? Karl.

The daft Telecaster shaped bass was a hideous thing to play IMO. This guy also has a Kay HideousBacker, which I'll be watching. If it doesn't go stupid, I will have a punt just to get the machine heads. Karl.

    Theoretically sound but perhaps a little tricky to police. There again, I'm not the polis! Karl.

    I'd just put the 2 cabs side by side bump Wonderful stuff Acoustic. Karl.

    [quote name='lemmywinks' post='1089251' date='Jan 14 2011, 12:57 PM']Oh btw, whenever you look at his listings check to see if he has any recent neg feedback and what his replies are. He doesn't take kindly to complaints! In my head i've always imagined he looks like this:[/quote] Without the smile! What pisses me off is that he states "attention" for his spares diatribe. It's gotta be ACHTUNG!!!! Free the caps lock TIM Karl.

    Belated happy new year Tom. Is that jazz width at the nut? Anybody thinking about this, I have contemplated relocating to Guisborough so Tom can set up/service my basses Cheers, Karl.

    Unlikely Tony , it's probably going to cost a bit more than I can afford! Nice to hear from you, look after yourself, cheers, Karl.

    New venue for us, The Last Orders, Swinton (Manchester-ish). 1st of the year, massively enjoyable, return booked in Sept, our 1st available date. Great audience who were up at it for some classic old rock stuff. Even more enjoyable for me, as I gigged my new to me P. I set it up, action, intonation the lot. 1st time I've ever done that and it felt and sounded great. Also did some settings change on my amp, that I had seen in passing here, and that sounded awesome . Lovely night, still smiling, despite the Toon's best efforts! Karl.

    Bloody hell Rob, that's a good price for a very nice Jap jazz. Good luck, Karl.

    Have a bump on me too. I would have been straight in with PM about my Black/Black 'plate USA P Standard (upgrade), but it is also a maple board. Good luck with the sale, that's a great bass. Karl.

    Gary Thain Chris Squires Steve Harris Jaco John Paul Jones All predictable except the 1st, who was just wonderfully melodic. I am sure this will have been done as a poll at some time, but, if not??? Karl.

    Looks excellent. Will keep an eye out for one in my region. Cheers Mlucas, Karl.

    Fairly sure the cheaper priced Basswood bodies are much lighter basses. Karl.

    Prices!

    So get your musical goodies from Basschat Karl.

    Now FOR SALE or trade. REDUCED to £400/£430 delivered. Includes 3U flight case/blanking panel. 700watts @ 2ohms, 500watts@4 ohms, 275 watts @8 ohms. Unlikely I know, but I would like to swap my Eden Nemesis RS 700 for the 500 watt Orange Terror. The link below explains this amp. Would also consider 500 to 1000 Watt head with just bass/mid/treble, not eq's/semi parametric stuff etc. My amp has 1 tiny scrape to the black paintwork at the front. Only reason for change is that I would like something without parametric/semi parametric. I can never get them to sound how I want them to. I will do photos of the actual item if any interest, however, link to one below. Cheers, Karl. Wigan.

Edited for photo's, the scrape mentioned is just to the left of the Eden badge. My feedback.

    My rig, only one I have. Practice acoustically at home. I love it. Sorry, dont have digital camera. Karl.

    Hello and welcome to Basschat. Put some photo's up and you may get more than one opinion. If you do a search on E Bay you may find one that's been sold over the last few months. Also google it see what you come up with. Good luck, Karl.

    Don't know if this is the right place, but, Mechanically I would like to replace tuners as 2 are very slightly bent. Cosmetically I need to source a black scratchplate and even more difficult a black TRC with "Rickenfaker" on it. Will probably need to source a bridge pick up surround, as when I cleaned it, quite a bit of chrome came off. I am staggered by how well made this thing is. I am just hoping the photo's will add a tiny bit to our knowledge of Rickenfakers. Cheers, Karl. Edited for spelling again!

    [quote name='lozbass' post='1069580' date='Dec 26 2010, 01:21 PM']Just beautiful. Are you just about to give it a lick of daphne blue - maybe not a great move?[/quote] Eyes down!

    [quote name='chriswilliams666' post='1069489' date='Dec 26 2010, 10:26 AM']Looks like a Classic Vibe Squier to me... - [url="http://www.rattleanddrum.com/product/6194/squier-classic-vibe-60s-precision-bass-sonic-blue"]Link here[/url][/quote] Body/plate/controls, probably Classic Vibe, and probably same for pup and bridge. Neck, who knows? Classic Vibe is truss rod adjustment at headstock end. This one is 70's re-issue style with truss adjustment at body end. Looks like it could be a Mighty Mite neck? Karl.

    Thanks A.T. Shimmed the neck yesterday and the action is massively improved. Next issue is to strip the tuners, see if I can tighten them and keep the bloody thing in tune. Serial number is B762972 which I am guessing is 1976. I must say, it seems really well made even though it shows signs of a tough life. Oh, and , what a sound!!!!!!!, especially through a 700watt rig. All the best, Karl.
