Rick's Fine '52 Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 Not my cup of tea, in fact it ticks many of my 'oh dear' boxes, but it's rare, and has real provenance, and may be of interest to Rick fans, price also seems sensible?

Happy Jack Posted August 1, 2013 Share Posted August 1, 2013 Either Reggie takes exceptionally good care of his basses, or he never actually played it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stacker Posted August 5, 2013 Share Posted August 5, 2013 I had this model a few years back. Bought it s/h with a bit of up-bow which I thought I'd be able to sort with the old washer trick on the nut threads, this time at the body end of the neck. Worked for a wee while then up came the neck again so off it went to Jimmy Moon in Glasgow and he fitted his own rods which worked a treat. By that time I was hacked off with the thing - happened to me with every Rick bar the CS - so off to ebay it went! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
