  1. dan... I think we need to A/B the SVT and the LH1000. Just for shits and giggles. Plus it gives an opportunity for us to eat biscuits.
  2. Ive got the g*itar version of this for my occasional 6-string acoustic duo appearances, lovely things, deep sound! Free bump on me.
  3. Further to that my SVT has the fan and vents rather stupidly at the side. This is stupid, stupid I tell thee. However it is an SVT and therefore is better than anything that weighs under 6cWt. So nerrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.
  4. I forgot to post on this before Yes ill come Dan can you drive though lol
  5. [quote name='dood' post='942844' date='Sep 1 2010, 11:44 PM']I have a Valve in my amp. It's great. I love it. Valves are brilliant. Even when they aren't conducting.[/quote] I second this And mine's an Ampeg Please dont hate me
  6. [quote name='waynepunkdude' post='943193' date='Sep 2 2010, 11:41 AM']Mine was better.[/quote] indeedy.
  7. Erm, I have a Rickenbacker 4001 and an SVT amp. And I play loudly and with lots of treble. With a cabinet which also has SVT written on it. Shall I get my coat?
  8. 6 for me, all completely different!
  9. Cool! Like this! Looks a bit "gggrrrr, metal!"
  10. I also note the last picture with the original P/G - still nice... but I prefer the tort on maple look, its one I havent seen on a Ric before... cool! I suppose you can just change it over anyway since you are getting both P/G's with this...
  11. I really like The Police and a lot of his solo stuff. Some of the tracks on Ten Summoners Tales are really excellent jazzy numbers with some lovely underpinning lines.
  12. not surprising that this went at a very attractive price! One happy new owner, certainly... If I was a fretless player id have been sorely tempted (there are some really awesome fretlesses on here at the moment!!!)
  13. wow... thats an impressive looking thing! Interesting electronics layout....
  14. As an avower lover of Ric I would really like to hear this actually, never heard an FL one... someone is gonna be a happy happy man I think, free pickups and spare guard, Beedster's seal of approval... what more could a buyer want!
  15. [quote name='Clarky' post='933142' date='Aug 22 2010, 09:50 PM']I am strangely drawn to you stingraypete - please post as often as possible [/quote] i wonder why... perhaps one for the avatar thread Clarky?
  16. [quote name='ShergoldSnickers' post='929552' date='Aug 19 2010, 11:12 AM']Just as a matter of interest - anyone got or tried a fretless Rick, 4001 or 4003? I still sort of hanker after a Rick, having tried a fretted one absolutely yonks ago at a guitar shop in Bradford. I just found the neck and sound perfect for me, but there was no way I could even remotely afford one then.[/quote] You could speak to Shaggy, as he is one of the few people to own a Ric FL... [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=99327"]http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=99327[/url] for some piccies
  17. [quote name='RAY AGAINST THE MACHINE' post='928965' date='Aug 18 2010, 07:34 PM']yeah,I agree...nice cat [/quote] Why thank you, she is a funny little character. Eats Bovril off of crumpets, what a legend! Anyway... [b]someone[/b] please buy this bass it will start a domino effect of FOUR BC members getting a deal on what they want... make the world a happy place
  18. I love my Ric dearly, and im looking at getting another one (yes... i know.... GAS... lol) but certainly agree with the sentiment that if you START playing on one you kinda stay with it. My first true top end bass was my 4001 which I got nearly 10 years ago. Its my go-to bass without a shadow of a doubt. They are incredibly awesome if played with a pick but equally awesome if played with fingers. You can geta surprising amount of bottom end out of that neck pickup... well I certainly can with an SVT610 to back it up, anyway ... lol. I also agree with Starless's point about famous players... Squire, Lee and Burton... they certainly knew how to use them! Does also make the average joe like me want to own such lovely things. Try before you buy, certainly. The old 4001's had that odd "fat bit of neck at the 1st fret" thing going on as well, some people who have tried mine dont like that either... dunno if the 4003's have it tho. [i] edit. just realised I spent ages talking about the 4001 when you want to know about the 4003. sorry. lol[/i]
  19. my, thats a lovely finish on that! Lovely and deep and bet it sounds the part too... have a free bump!
  20. Have a bump on me Greg... wow - I must say, I love the tort PG! ...edit... and considering the price of and scarcity of new Rics (never mind FL ones) this has to be a barg of immense proportions!
  21. I just put flats on mine, which is exactly the same as this as mentioned above but with rosewood board. Sounds wonderful, cant stop doing Aretha numbers on it. Someone give this a loving hmoe
  22. im intrigued by this... pics please

    Horrible news, a terrible shame to lose such a great guy on this board.
  24. Well blow me down... I have never seen another one... I also own one of these, and its also been defretted at some point!!! Blimey... small world! Hearin' ya loud and clear on the dings, mine has loads. Must get it out and give it a play sometime, in the meantime have a free bump! In fact here is a picture of mine to add to the Aria love. Cool basses! [attachment=56557:Washburn..._Pro_II2.JPG]
  25. [quote name='dood' post='924512' date='Aug 13 2010, 11:09 PM']Now that I will argue till I'm blue in the face! - You managed to get in to the newspaper for choosing to leave a band!! Now that is not the kinda thing that happens to an awful bass player! You are cool as f*ck!![/quote] oh man, you saw that? I didnt send it to you did I? dont remember telling anyone about the me/paper bit (i knew they would do something like that!!! lol)
