I think (as it seems most do) that they should only be in cherry red and nothing else. That is only fair.

I have seen a couple of black ones that look quite tasty though.

yeah - the big ugly gash (ooer!) in the body to stick that in put me off as well. Shame as it was a nice bass and a proper luthier could have sorted the neck out with a bit of luck. Im more in the market for an EB-0 tbh... maybe... I may be getting some cash soon and a Gibbo Jack Bruce sound is about the only other thing ive lusted after since my teens!

thats bizarre, to have such an enormous cutaway for a 4 stringer...

why do people dig great big holes in basses to stick new p/ups in them?

I watched it for a while, awnted to bid.... and to be fair it went for what I think is a very decent price, but with the neck bowing etc I think it might have been "A Project Too Far" for me....

I love em. Have a 76' Musicmaster and its like going on a nice holiday playing it after playing my Ric!

Have got major GAS for an EB-0 but just cant justify the expense at the mo!

i do stay away from eBay as much as I can these days after a bad experience once, but hey, theres no harm in looking is there....

now, im not a Rick expert even though ive owned one for 7 years but this just seems.... odd? Somethings not quite right here.

Q: serial number?
A: Yes


LOL

Unique!

I really dont see the point of continually relisting that

that is absolutely fabulous. Would dearly love to have that in my collection but sadly moving house means no silly GAS-realted purchases! '61 as well... mmm. If I win the lottery this week ill have it

I like it a lot. But I like Gibsons and have serious GAS for an EB-0, which might explain why i like it.
Aint a big fan of LED's though..? Never ever crossed my mind to own a bass with LED's

[quote name='En_Djinn' post='114537' date='Jan 6 2008, 03:33 AM']If you listen carefully Bonham clicks his sticks once to lead back in after the vocal, except the for the second verse, where its timed with the end of the vocal

Hope this helps, good fun when you crack it![/quote]


I was just about to mention this... that's the way I did it.

Ummm, Hysteria by Muse...?

I Am The Resurrection by The Stone Roses
Gigantic by The Pixies

there's a whole load more. +1 for *anything* by the Stranglers :-)

that. is. lovely.

I would seriously consider buying a new Ric to accompany my 4001 because of that colour. I am also a bit of sucker for burst colours... and thats a beaut!

erm

is now the right time to ask Mr Hall to start making a few more 4080's? Im sure he's never been asked that before... heheeh

:-)

Seriously - its a matter of consumerism. If you want one, and dont agree with the price, dont buy it. Simple really. I think its a hefty rise.... but we all know if you realllly want something you tend to find the money for it (Ask the Shuker posse! Hehe!). I personally wouldnt pay for any bass out of my price range.

That is a beautiful piece of kit. Fact

actually, after looking at those two I really should clean them sometime lol

erm, did someone ask for... the 80's????

Hmmm, missed this thread before!

+4 from me

them Ric's are lovely

:-)

EDIT : actually on second look that BB is quite horny as well

Wild Thing

lol

+1 for Know Your Enemy

Anything off the first album... really...

I just love the bridge / tailpiece area. Looks like pistons powering some kind of massive artillery.

Or something.



lovely bass!

Id quite like some alcoholic beverages, and maybe some new shoes.
