martthebass Posted March 31, 2013 Share Posted March 31, 2013 Why would someone do that to a particularly nice Rick? Would have thought it would take a couple of hundred or so to sort the back out so if there's no other issues then £900/950 would be a nice deal. I be sure to collect though so you could try it out to make sure the rods are ok and theres no other signs of miss use. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chest Rockwell Posted March 31, 2013 Author Share Posted March 31, 2013 Im in Cardiff so I'll hold out for the inevitable big Rick splash Im gonna make one day (anyone got a genuine fire/maple, I have cash that could be teased out of my pocket ) Low score on his profile, but the two basses he's sold previously are gibson n fender so probably genuine. The only reason I can think anyone would sand the back down would be either to 'improve' bad buckle rash, or... dunno! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MB1 Posted March 31, 2013 Share Posted March 31, 2013 MB1. Repeat after me! MUST REINSTATE BACK! MUST REINSTATE BACK! The front looks a little like the one Geofio sold on here recently....the back doesn't!. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

3below Posted March 31, 2013 Share Posted March 31, 2013 Madness affects us all in different ways. I removed the frets from mine circa 1982. Played very nicely but I did a rough job with hindsight. Eventually moved it on for the G&L I have to this day. I know which one I prefer and still have. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BetaFunk Posted April 1, 2013 Share Posted April 1, 2013 You know what it's like. You've had a skinful down the local then returned home at midnight and there in the hallway next to your expensive bass guitar is your orbital sander. We've all be there haven't we?

Visions of thin strips of leg flesh fill my mind, followed by high pitched screams and a visit to A&E Any DIY tool is in play when, after a couple sherbets, you're sitting playing your bass, look at it and go, "Hmm?"
