Annnnnything further on this? At the moment i dont have any scratchplate on my bass as Howard has my current one to take measurements from...

You could ask BassDoc but hehas a large backlog that he's getting thru at the moment... My one included!

Bngo, cheers fellas. As long as he's OK!

not sure if this is the right forum, but has anyone heard from Howard recently? He was making me a pickguard and said it would be here two weeks ago but ive heard nothing since.... hope he's OK? Anyone out there mates with him??

Not surprised at that price - best cab ive ever used.

Wow... Thats lovely! Not an often seen colour. Shouldnt be here for long methinks...

Mega deal for a mega bass here... I thought this was "the one" tho Beeds?

That is the one from Andy Baxter isnt it... Nice purchase

Another +1 for Wunjo from me. Went in to try a Geddy out, Lawrence and Tom were working and happily set me up so I could a have a good old noodle on it. And noodle I did, then fell in love with the neck on it BIGTIME, and had a chat with Brian about putting a deposit on it there and then. Great comms via email (I live 100+ miles away from them!) and I picked it up and completed the deal the week after. Highly recommended, buy with confidence from these fellas!

typical - I bought a new one 2 weeks ago! And i want a black scratchplate!

Oh well... GLWTS

When you get a good one... Well... Thats a great feeling. Well done on your purchase sir :-)

Im not getting commission from bassybill i hasten to add

Very very nice... Are they active?

I played one of the new Mexican Geddys last week.

So impressed I put a deposit on it there and then. The last USA Jazz I played brand new in a shop was not in the same league... the GL beat it hands down in every way I could think of. Cant wait to get it back to my house next week!

Dont be put off by the Mexican heritage, this is one hell of a bass. And if truly worried about finish issues etc then I would suggest buying one from a reputable dealer that will give you 2yrs warranty on it

Ok, im on a laptop now... pm incoming!

There's one of these in a shop near me... and they want a grand for it! Barg to be had here (even if the shop was going to a more realistic price!)

Cant seem to send PM's via my iPad... Im interested chap, how would you want payment?

That is a very pretty bass indeed

I know bclhaynes personally chaps - buy with confidence from this man, a top guy.

Mega mega rig on offer here!

Not surprised this didnt last long, great price for a great bass.

It would have been great if they'd called him Daisy Rock.

Lol, thank you for that

I am loving the finish on that! Beautiful!

Oh my word. Lovelylovelylovely. Roger Waters-astic!

Has something mega caught your eye Lozz... To sell these two beauties to fund it?

+1 for looking under the TRC.

The tuners look like Ric replacement ones from a 4003 - in '76 i dont believe "Rickenbacker" was stamped on them, they were either unbranded open faced keys or closed Grovers... So thats interesting.

The light isnt helping as in one pic the board looks dark and in another it looks fine. I would ask the seller exactly what is original and what is not, parts wise. If the only things changed are the tuners (and they appear to be Ric reissues) then £1100 is a good price IMO. Athough im interested to see what this "redone bridge" actually is... Perhaps a non-Ric rep part?

or you might meet someone in the band which will lead to something else. Sometimes you need to speculate to accumulate...

Like one of the brass section / backing vox being a hot young lady perchance?
