Shaggy Posted May 5, 2010 Share Posted May 5, 2010 (edited) I had this off Beedster a few months back, so all the info here; [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=66119&hl=Beedster"]http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=...amp;hl=Beedster[/url] It's a fabulous bass and Chris's pics don't do justice to just how stunning it looks, but I'm GAS-ing for something vintage-ey and have got two other fretlesses - so need to move the "last one in" on. Exactly as received from Chris, other than I've put the original Ric bridge back on; strung with Pyramid Gold flats. I'll take some pics of my own at the weekend. (edit - see below) Price is £950 firm - less than I've got invested in it and a good bit less than ebay prices - shipping on top, and if the bass I'm after goes first this will be withdrawn. cheers, Greg Edited May 24, 2010 by Shaggy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shaggy Posted May 8, 2010 Author Share Posted May 8, 2010 A couple of pics I took on this grey Welsh morning here - Please note the neck "toaster" p/up is [b]not [/b]included in the sale - it's an original '60's one I've acquired that I'd sooner hang onto. If the bass sells I'll put the previous SD unit back on as per link in first post to Chris's pics, (with mounting screws / springs etc - I haven't sourced any for the toaster yet!)

richardrickenbacker Posted May 8, 2010 Share Posted May 8, 2010 What the deal on the bridge pick up? That surround and cover doesn't look standard. Only just noticed when I looked in detail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

richardrickenbacker Posted May 8, 2010 Share Posted May 8, 2010 Ahhhh, that's a lot of clicks! Does any one still have the original bits?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaggy Posted May 8, 2010 Author Share Posted May 8, 2010 (edited) No - I've been looking out for Ric p/ups to put back in (hence the toaster), but I guess you probably know just how much new ones cost and how rare used ones are! The SD units are excellent though and not cheap themselves; must be a market for them as upgrades to stock units as they seem popular.

Could still sort a trade deal out if you are interested?[/quote] I guess Ricks don't instantly come to mind when you think of fretless, which is a shame as they suit extremely well - the neck p/up really comes into its own for some smooth, woody tones, and the woods & construction means sustain is superb and action can be dropped ultra-low This isn't one of the "skinny neck" ones either which helps. Re trades - not ruling out, but recent excessive GAS means favoured option is cash just now!
