I have one of these, a 1998 model bought on this site actually, the best all rounder bass I've ever owned, does everything well. It would be the last bass I'd sell. GLWTS. -
A golden era for Ibanez basses in my opinion; great design, excellent build quality and essentially bulletproof. I have a 1982 Roadster RS900 which I use for practice/rehearsals mainly and the neck is straight as a dye and not even the smallest crackle from the controls. GLWTS. -
Just brought a Yamaha CO-10MII compressor pedal from Graeme. Package arrived safely yesterday, splendidly packaged and complete with it's original box and instructions. Top bloke to do business with and impressively patient with the (by now traditional with me) issue with the Paypal payment.

Stunning bass. Looking at the controls reminded me of an old joke. Studio tech walks into a band rehearsal and says to the bass player: "Nice bass mate but what do all these knobs do?" The bass player pauses for a moment in deep thought.... "Well, one of them plays rhythm guitar, one of them plays drums and the two really big ones are the singer and the lead guitarist....." GLWTS -
Afternoon. Is the Big Muff still for sale?

Just bought a Wilkinson bridge from Nick. Few problems on my side with comms and paypal payments as working away but Nick's patience does him credit. Bridge was well packaged and received safely. All good, you can deal with Nick with confidence.

Hello Nick, I'll take the Wilko bridge if it's still going please. PM'd

FS/FT - Jazz Bass - 1978 - Antigua - Rickenbacker
von Braun replied to Chewie's topic in Basses For Sale
Stunning. Best finish Fender ever did in, my humble opinion. Works so well with the maple, blocks and binding too. If I win the lottery tonight I'm having it! But otherwise, good luck with the sale. -
Ordered a JB volume-blend-tone loom from John. Very high quality piece of work (with clear wiring instructions and miniature screwdriver included in the package) and a very smooth transaction with good communications. Highly recommended.

Just bought a Korg DT10 tuner from Adam. Smooth transaction, pedal arrived safely and is working fine. Good comms and good business all round. Cheers Ash

PMd. Looks a pretty solid bit of kit. -
Afternoon, is this still for sale?

Just bought a Tonerider JB pick-up from Pete, which arrived safely yesterday. Swift, efficient business, no messing about...the way it should be.

Hello Pete. PM'd -
Morning, is this still for sale please? -

What didn't you like about the Rivoli...apart from the lack of range and clarity! They were a bit muddy as stock. I had one in the '80s (a 60s tobacco burst model) which had been modded by a previous owner with a Di Marzio P-Bass PU in the bridge position. It looked a bit s**t but it balanced out the big old mudbucker nicely. Sold it to a bloke in some Devon blues band to pay some bills before going on a Navy holiday....so rock and roll. Anyway, enough of my rambling memories. GLWTS. -
Hmm, might be just what I need for my next project. Is that a straight Fender P or J swap out or does it need routing in a bit? -
I've got a '98 Sterling in metallic blue, doesn't have the mutes on the bridge.... but definitely the best all rounder I've owned. Have a bump on me. GLWTS.

Afternoon, Did this get sold in the end? -
Using the thumb fingerstyle....rant content!
von Braun replied to oldbass's topic in Theory and Technique
Or just using your thumb semi-rigid in place of a pick on the faster stuff....I just can't get the feel through a pick, don't know why. Either way, keeps the rhythm guitarist amused....... "looks so dumb you ****!" Ah well. -
Great gig at the Brook in Southampton last week Steve. Top playing all round. Was that a Lakland you were playing that night?

Nice Beemer.....Wheeler Dealers did an 850i (I think) worth a look on You Tube if you haven't seen it. Great looking Thunderbird too. GLWTS. -
