Raslee Posted June 19, 2024 Posted June 19, 2024 (edited) I sold a few other basses on this thread which you’ll see reference to below. I still have the lovely RIKS P bass for sale , pics below, which is lovely turquoise colour, was actually blue but has faded to a really nice colour. Really nice cheap P bass overall with good tone, low action and punches well above its price....light too at around 8lbs - £60 I could upgrade the pickup to a Sadowsky P (German one) for an extra £50. I've also got a range of cases, bag, options i.e. SKB hard case £40, Gator Softcase deluxe £80 or the odd cheap nasty gig bag for free if i have one. Add £10 courier within the UK or collect from Plymouth Devon. Edited August 3, 2024 by Raslee 16
Grooverjr Posted June 19, 2024 Posted June 19, 2024 I always come to your for sale threads just to see that awesome Gong picture in the background and this one certainly hasn't disappointed on that score! Some good looking basses for sensible money, too. GLWTS/T 4 1
petecarlton Posted June 20, 2024 Posted June 20, 2024 I saw Gong in 1973, just after they released Flying Teapot. Amazing gig - real eccentrics, brilliant musicians (mostly)! GLWTC(learout) 4

Amazing gig - real eccentrics, brilliant musicians (mostly)! GLWTC(learout) I was born in 1974 but my dad played a lot of Gong when I was very young and I credit that for my Ozric Tentacles obsession (Roly Wynne, by the way, was a marvellous bassist - taken too soon). Even by the standards of the time Gong were 'special'. So many little riffs and snatches of Gong and Steve Hillage found their way into 80s and 90s music, especially the ambient stuff. 4
Raslee Posted June 20, 2024 Author Posted June 20, 2024 (edited) I do love my Gong as all it's off shoots! Also bought up on the Trilogy and a long time Ozrics fan having supported them in the late 90's...lovely folk! PM's replied too Edited August 3, 2024 by Raslee 2

Steve_nottm Posted June 22, 2024 Posted June 22, 2024 Hi, is the Gretsch the walnut which looks a bit wine red? It looks black in the picture

It looks black in the picture It’s a walnut type colour, tricky to photograph in the light. I’ve done some photos here for anyone interested in the Gretsch https://share.icloud.com/photos/0adtCSBCICT9ObbzqkEjY1wMQ
Raslee Posted June 23, 2024 Author Posted June 23, 2024 Gretsch now sold 😊 Just the Sadowsky & Riks Precision left.
Raslee Posted June 28, 2024 Author Posted June 28, 2024 Don't under estimate the cheap Riks P bass up for sale, quite a bargain really. Plays really nice, low acion, no buzzes, good P sound. Perfect living room beater or one to stay in the studio or leave your 60's P at home whilst gigging it at the Dog & Duck
Raslee Posted July 10, 2024 Author Posted July 10, 2024 (edited) May consider a trade for a lightweight 5 string jazz or P bass, below 8lbs…can add £ if necessary. Edited July 10, 2024 by Raslee
spyder Posted July 24, 2024 Posted July 24, 2024 Is the Riks P bass short scale? Looks smaller than the other basses. I'm looking for a short scale P. Marc
