They’ve done a few 4002 special runs - the new team in charge of Ric (Hall Jr?) are a bit more forward thinking…

Jesus…

If it’s £6500 I wouldn’t be surprised…

24 years ago… I saw this bass in a video - blew my head off as an emerging manc bass player. ”NOEL’S PLAYING A RICKY BASS! WTF is it?!” Always thought it was a bit of a dig that the first post-Guigsy oasis tune had a really prominent bass part.

@pedcan we add a “wow” emoji to the menu 😳😲😵‍💫

Anyone hazard to guess a price?! And yes…I’m going to start saving…

Uhm. Sorry… 34” and wine red with a gold soap bar at the neck for the next one, yeah? 🥳😉

Yeah, that’s an original 60’s job. I recall being fascinated by the 1990’s reissue on the rare occasion they’d appear in a guitar shop. So cool.

I had a dream last night where I was playing an Epiphone Howard Roberts…but it was a bass. Then I realised I’d been staring at your builds…

Ehm… Ejector seat? (no idea unfortunately)

Westbury Track

I'm pretty set for quirky/retro…debating a thunderbird next…

Remember sound control selling these for £99… Cool basses!

Was good - in my preferred room (we use 2 places to rehearse) Worked on a new idea of mine - which will be a very lovely Elbow-esque tune. We’re now at 10 original tunes. I’d say 7 are gig/record ready. A couple are proving harder to get across the finish line. But now the 7 are set - the other 3 should fall into place. Used the rooms Ashdown - missed my Hartke rig, but the 410xl up 3 flights of narrow stairs is a killer. Myself and the singer want this to be our permanent space…he has an interest in the room, I’d prefer to leave my rig set up. Guitarist and Keys player are more stand off ish about it. We’ll see: I prefer it as a space. Ripper was perfect. El Chupa Cabré bastard bandito bass was a bit troublesome - I’ve cleaned the pots out and will get a separate eq pedal in the signal path…I guess 40 year old piezo tech hasn’t aged well.

32” is the killer for me too

I foresee one of these in my future 🫣

Yeah - I won’t use Halfords for anything. They f*cked up an order for 2 Graco car seats no less than 4 times… Absolute moron soup of a company.

They’re doing that colour now… Wowzah… The gold guard would make way for aged Pearl… Nowhere carries them though 🫤

It’s neck through - a couple of shots show neck join

It’s a Deviser made bass from the absolute death throes of BC. Was also sold as a Godlyke. A bass I had, and should not have sold…but I did get to own a Flea Modulus as a result…another bass I should’ve kept. meh. looks nice that.

Yeah they’re just what I want - enough to mess about with, but not too many bells and whistles. The 5500 is just an extravagance as this is plenty loud enough.

I’ve listed the head for sale as I’ve just landed the 5500 I was after for ages Andy
