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....

Somethings not quite right here.

Q: serial number? A: Yes LOL

Unique!

I really dont see the point of continually relisting that

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

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.

ill check. Dont really want to get them out of the packet atm as the body isnt even going to back for a while yet but it does seem a little stoopid to advertise them as short scale strings and then make them TOO short??? La Bella - Doh!

Got some nice new La Bella short scales from Stringbusters to put on it when it arrives... cant wait!!! I must say - Stringbusters - A1 service there. Uber-fast delivery and very good prices. Two thumbs fresh

Sound Control in norwich is always fine to me - the guys in there have always been helpful. Dont really go to any other music shops to be honest, ive bought an Ampeg from them aaaaages ago, an SG Gu*tar and a Ric 4001 (when they were Academy Of Sound) due to the fact I got good prices on all items and the guys there were good to me.

Ive put the whole lot in one of those segmented toolboxes so they are all in one place. Dunno where to put the neck though! Looks a bit odd on its own. The body of said bass has now been delivered to be refinshed. The chap who is doing it is also going to do some before/middle/after pics so that should be fun to see as well. Ill most likely post them on here.... ETA January for the finished article!

All great advice guys, bought myself some nice new philips screwdrivers and took some pics of the bass itself to remind me when i fix it back together where things ago. Cheers once again - its off to get done this weekend! Whoohoo
