    This used to be mine!!! Its a lovely machine. Thumping lows and when you put those pickups together its VERY loud... and I mean [u][b]VERY[/b][/u] loud. The case is a very snug fit but literally no other "new" case that I could find anywhere would fit it! If it helps anyone, it was purchased by me from Vintage & Rare in London some time ago before I sold it to Basscat, so in essence you've also got their seal of approval on this bass too. PS : It wasnt me who tried to put a thumb rest on it, that was there when I got it!

    That is amazing
  3. Stag
    700 notes for this is crazy good... If I was actually playing these days id be all over it!
  4. Stag
    mate of mine had one of these, brilliant amp. But yes, weighs the same as a small house and not easily portable!
  5. Stag
    fairly shocked this hasnt gone... ridiculously good bit of kit, id be all over it if it wasnt essentially "in" the SVT5! Purchase this for your valve-driven needs people

    Splendid rig at a very attractive price. If i was actually playing these days id take the RC4 off you for my Stac' rig but since it would never leave the house it seems a bit silly to do it! GLWTS tho chap!

    Oh man... first bass ive really really wanted on here in ages... argh... that is lovely

    @basscat has an LH500, great amp IMO. Loads of headroom for a remarkably cheap price.
  9. Stag
    mate are you sure you want to do this???
  10. Stag
    The best amp ever, IMO. As heavy as a small house but nothing, NOTHING sounds as good to my ears. I remember watching Dood rocking one of these bad boys back in the day, brilliant sound.

    I gigged with one of these for quite some time, bought from new (£499 at the time probably 10+ years ago!) - brilliant tone from this. The "Eg" fell off the logo on mine so it just said "Amp" which my guitarist round very amusing. You can get a load of great tones out of this, I do love a proper old radial tone dial in setup. Brilliant amp, someone will be very happy with it.

    Utter utter bargain, why is this still here???
  13. Stag
    Good golly gosh... never thought id see this happening old chap!

    If there's an opportunity to get an HLF instead id give that a go. The port at the bottom will help "woof" your sound across the room. The effect a port has on a heavy wood cab is quite stunning. If you can, try the two against each other in a shop - hopefully you'll see what I mean

    SOLD

    Ive got one of these still! Used it for years as my main gigging bass, the neck on these is really nice - feels tapered just right to fit IMO. Mine is all black tho, this looks nicer
  16. Stag
    Matching headstock, lovely. I dont have room for two Jazzes but if I did, id be having this! really nice, GLWTS
  17. Stag
    Extremely sexy instrument.

    That's lovely Chris, and in really good nick. You cannot, repeat, CANNOT beat proper Ampeg valve tone when using Precisions and Ricks. [size=1](IMO of course before someone says meh!)[size=3] - [/size][/size]Id love to hear mine through this! Someone buy this and give it a happy home (full of valvey goodness)

    Ive got a touch of bleed in the top edge of the binding on my 4003...
  20. Stag
    Give "One Slip" on A Momentary Lapse Of Reason a listen, for Tony Levin's playing on it. Lovely choice of chords too - a little known tune in their catalogue, but one I grew up with.
  21. Stag
    Thats an amazing rig from the golden time of Ampeg, with celebrity providence, for less than either the amp or cab could cost on their own. A splendid deal for someone who needs, well, a lot of volume! Good luck with the sale.
  22. Stag
    You might wanna try out the TC stuff with TubeTone? I run a Ric ot a Jazz through my Staccato '51 and it sounds warm and full and they are *so* light
  23. Stag
    Jaydees deffo have it. A mate of mine had the Mark King sig and that had an XLR out prominently on the front of the bass, if memory serves me well.
  24. Stag
    I have my 4001 with the PU cover off and its easier to play than my 4003 which has the PU cover on it still. However one of my plucking fingers has occasionally ended up stuck in the hole (ooer missus) which isnt great. Or you can keep the PU cover on and not be able to do any palm muting with a pick. Pros and cons for every approach! In the words of Kryten : "Its those cute little flaws that keep a guy interested"

    [quote name='uncle psychosis' timestamp='1384733813' post='2280212'] I have no problem with Rick protecting their design rights. The problem I have is that Rickenbacker aggressively pursue private sellers of old Ricky copies that were made *before* Rickenbackers legal rights to protection were granted and who are not breaking any British laws, and all the while there are loads of shops openly selling modern Ricky copies who apparently just get left to it by John Hall. It's a joke. [/quote] +1 This is totally my appraisal of the situation. I can understand them going postal over new Ricky copies, but chasing private sales of old 70's Jap fakers that have already been sold once... twice... maybe multiple times? Thats just daft.
