  1. Up for sale is my 1-of-25 UK Limited Edition Rickenbacker 4003 BRG (British Racing Green) with checker binding, in its original vintage-style silver Tolex case with the certificate, keys, etc, and the scratchplate sticers, etc! This bass is in exactly the same condition as it was the day I received it back in 2017! Mint. In all honesty, apart from a few strums when it first arrived, it has had less than 10 minutes playing time! Reason for sale: well my priorities have changed over the past few years and I can no longer justify holding on to my bass collection anymore...someone should be playing them! This bass is listed on Ebay and Reverb, with their respective commissions added, so you guys can get it a little cheaper! Collection from Worthing is HIGHLY preferred: postage for this, insured, is around £200 for the UK, £350 for EU and £450 for the US. It'll be painful for me to sell this (and my other basses), but I feel its the right way to go.... No offer please: this bass is already a bargain! I've had months of messages from dealers offering me "the price they can get for this bass minus their 50% markup", so I just want to sell this to the right person, and "end user", rather than a "middleman". You know what I'm saying...?! Oh...and I have another listing on here too.....! 🙂
  2. Up for sale is my unicorn-rare 1974 double-bound Maple finish 4005WB. It comes in a NOS black Tolex case, imported from the US, and made specifically for the 4005 basses. I think this was the last one they had in stock. These "WB" 4005's are VERY rare: you see quite a few with the standard rounded front edges, but the WB is an altogether rarer beast! You hardly ever see these...anywhere. The bass is fantastic for a 50 year old instrument, it plays great and has very minimal signs of use, despite being used by a French session player for 15 years prior to my purchase. There is a scratch in the varnish at the sharp edge of the front "slash" sound-hole, and a tiny piece of the binding is missing on the rear, at the heel of the neck. Otherwise great!

  3. I'll take a few pix and post 'em up!
  4. Found my way here at long last! Been a bad bass "player" for around 40 years now: never put the time in really to get good, as I've been concentrating more on music production since the 1980's.... Still making music today and dabbling in bass ,too..! I've owned many basses over the years: Steinberger, Status, Cort, Hofner, Fender, Hohner and Rickenbacker, to name virtually all of them! 🙂 I can't help designing, modifying (improving!) things and building stuff: I've built a few instruments over the years, including 2 basses. The first was a real hybrid: imagine, if you will, a Ric 4003 body, in natural mahogany. Set into this a through-body solid laminated fibreglass neck with an ebony fingerboard. Oh..its fretless too.......and headless! It has a Lace pickup embedded in the body at the sweet spot....and it also has a Roland GK3B split pickup, for connection to my synths! The 2nd, which I completed last year, is a YF23 jet-fighter-shaped 3 string fretless, based on the neck from a Westone Spectrum LX. This has a custom 3 pole jazz pickup fitted: the body, as it stands, is a sheet of painted MDF...but the plan is to acquire a nice piece of hardwood and replicate the body using that to finish! So....Hi! 🙂
