    I actually don't have it anymore! I sold it on here last year. Decided after 10+ years of battling with it I would just stick to Jazz basses from now on haha. They just suit me too perfectly. It's a 1978 which I purchased in about 2010ish if I remember right. It sounded great (if that Ricky sound is what you are going for which I loved more than anything when I was younger), but I just ended up preferring both the tone and the feel of my Jazz bass in the end

    I'm not sure what a Bass Bash is, but it sounds like something I would enjoy. Always love seeing peoples bass gear. I'm based in SW London!

    I have been planning on doing a full rig rundown on my Youtube channel for a while but I have a new bass on order and kind of want to wait until that arrives before I make the video, but I can quickly list my gear here if you are interested. My main bass is a MIJ Geddy Lee Jazz bass from the mid-late 2000s, and I play that with Rotosound Swingbass66 strings. I have a Tech-21 GED-2112 Sansamp and a Trace Elliot GP12X (distorted sound and clean sound) which I blend to get the bass sound I want. Those go into a Palmer PDI-05 speaker simulator. It's a similar setup to what Geddy used in the Test for Echo era, which is my favourite tone of his. Here is my Youtube for anyone interested: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC4dlAoqg21GSUqNZX3GuA9w

    I didn't see this thread until I googled us to find the link for the tickets to our gig haha I'm the bass player in this band (Invisible Airwaves)! Thanks for all the nice comments guys. Lovely to hear. And can confirm, Tamas is a very cool guy Maybe see some of you in June!

    Price drop to £2000 (just on this site) GAS kicking in and I want the money for other purchases! (1972 Jazz bass maybe <3)

    Yeah my Burner 6 which is listed here is going to a guy in September for £2000 (assuming it doesn't fall through or anything) I would imagine a BT would get at least 1.5x more than my Burner... I've seen 6 string BT's on reverb for upwards of 6k in the past year or so. Admittedly reverb keeps the final sale price quite well hidden so they might not have got that asking price...

    That is a bloody good lineup of bass players haha. I was lucky enough to see Geddy multiple times, Les Claypool and Mark King three or four times each and saw Chris Squire play once. Those are the guys I have been most inspired by over the years. There really is nothing like being in the same room as them watching them do their thing. Masters at work. I just hope I get to see Geddy play live again at some point!

    That's an incredible thing to have been able to see. You are very lucky to have those memories Hemispheres is a top tier Rush album for me too. One of the very best albums of prog Rock from the 70s. I even have the album cover tattooed on my back

    Oh man. That is amazing!!!! I am so jealous right now. How was the gig? One of my 'top priority time machine destinations' for sure

    Willing to be a bit flexible with the price! Hit me up with offers
  13. Hemibass
    Bass is sold
  14. Hemibass
    Thanks. I hope so. It deserves to be played a lot more than it is being played at the moment!
  15. Hemibass
    Thanks. Very kind of you to say

    Hi Basschat My dream bass has become available and it's time for me to raise some funds to buy it! Sadly this means I will have to sell my Rickenbacker, so here it is. I always wanted a Rickenbacker as a young bass player after I saw Geddy playing his on the Exit Stage Left dvd, and was lucky enough to save up and buy this one about 12 years ago (can't remember exactly when, but roughly that long ago). It's a really cool instrument, and is a totally iconic sound, but I have become much more of a Fender guy as I have gotten older and play this Ric a lot less than I used to. It's a 1978 4001 in Jetglo and I would say it's in very good condition for a bass this old. It was recently serviced at Charlie Chandlers guitar experience (around 6 months ago) and has only been played a few times since then for my Youtube covers. It stays in its hard shell case the remainder of the time, so has been very well looked after in its time with me. I've tried to get pictures of all the little chips etc to fairly represent the condition of the bass. Here is a video of me playing it on my channel so you can hear it in action: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MHnZH4vuuUY&ab_channel=Hemibass I've based the price on others I have found listed on various sites from similar years, but I'm very happy to negotiate (since there is a bass I want to get before it sells) so please feel free to send me any pms or offers if this is of interest to you. I would like to get the sale done as quickly as possible! Would really like to sell to a big Rickenbacker fanboy who will love the instrument the way it deserves, so if that's you, then please get in touch Thanks Hemi
