    [quote name='LeoFender' post='1313517' date='Jul 23 2011, 08:15 AM']I have a black one of these. They play wonderfully and have a great sound, plenty of middle, even with the P pup solo'd. They seem to have a lot more grunt than other PJs, not sure why, pup placement, freq centres of roll off? Anyway it works. Good luck with the sale Leo[/quote] x2 - Black sparkle version and they play and sound a lot better than many of the more expensive basses I've had. Did a wee gig recently where off the cuff we decided to do a few extra unrehearsed songs with a boy taking bass as I took guitar. At the end, the guy said that he was surprised at the sound and feel of the Yam and was thinking of selling his 'pro-bass' to pay for a holiday and he would get a Yam!

    That Ric Sound

    [quote name='4000' post='1321893' date='Jul 31 2011, 01:38 AM']As with any other bass, it depends how you eq it and what you're playing it through. Early JJ Burnel doesn't have a lot of "bass" but I don't think many people would suggest a Precision inherently lacks low end. Have you ever heard the Beatles?[/quote] Did early Stranglers not feature JJ on Hiwatt guitar cabs as they could not afford bass ones?

    Great sound.

    Really good bass. I just could not get used to 24 frets and kept 'missing' my mark!

    Sunfish - there will be plenty of interest, it's just we're all rooked just now! Best of luck and hope it sells soon - cracker.

    Bootilicious.

    For bass alone, a bit predictable but.... Sheer genius, musicianship and showmanship wrapped into one lovely wee package...

    I've said 2.

    Both as suits. Learned on a pick but 30s into my first gig I threw it away. Mainly fingers but occasionally the song cries out for a plectrum.

    Rickenbacker 4003

    merello replied to a topic in Bass Guitars

    [quote name='bassman2790' post='1296623' date='Jul 7 2011, 11:31 PM']This may sound sacrilegious to the fans of the Rickenbacker 4003 (of which there are many I'm sure), but I'm giving serious thought to selling my almost new Midnight Blue 4003. Why? Apart from the fact that the I haven't been able to play it much since the string grooves in the nut have been cut too shallow making playing anywhere below the 5th fret a real finger-aching exercise, I can't say I'm blown away by either the quality or the sound. I've been hankering after one since the 80's and now I've got one, I feel a bit disappointed. It's actually made me appreciate just how good my BB414, which cost one tenth of the price of the Ric, really is. I have some nut files slowly making their way across the Atlantic and I'm sure that once the nut and the action have been sorted, it will play like a dream and I hope I'll be able to rekindle the relationship between us. Watch this space (or rather the Basses For Sale forum )[/quote] World's worst sales pitch..........sorry to hear that. I am currently down to a Yamaha BB414 and it really does just about all I need. The neck is slightly too wide (I'm a J, not a P handed dude) but in a funny way it makes you focus on playing the song a bit better!

    Hey Jez - were you watching Andy Murray out your back window today?
  23. merello
    Both look cool, what's the problem? You like, you buy. You no like, you no buy.
  24. merello
    I don't have the dosh but I'd trade my Yamaha BB 414 in an instant for this beauty......wishful thinking!

    Good lad this and I have had a 5 minute ply on this bass. Mightily impressed.
