All Activity

Used mine for the first time in ages last night. I had forgotten just how great it sounded. Deep, tubey warmth but retaining its clarity. I had thought about selling mine but after last night and i'll be using it again tonight i've decided its a keeper. For a full tube amp built like a tank but compact and relatively light weight this is a great price. GLWTS Dave

I would so buy this 😭😭. But I live in Spain....here the market is so weak...you can't find anything 🤦

I know - they are great amps for upright, but the technology is of the age so a tad lardy and not over endowed with power.

Awesome on all counts! GLWTS

Lescot Fanned Frets 5. Gilles Lescot was a Belgian luthier who stopped his activities in early 2023. All woods, but the bubinga used for the fingerboard are locally sourced. I received this bass in a recent trade, but I'm not a fiver nor a fanned frets player. TRADES ARE WELCOME! NON NEGOTIABLE PRICE!

Shipping to United Kingdom is, of course, possible and included in my asking price, but with an extra customs fee (VAT + other taxes + courier fee), because U.K. is now outside EEC.

Non-smoking environment as usual. The bass has been fully set up professionally and is copper shielded in the electronics compartment (absolutely dead silent instrument). It has received a new battery and a new set of Ernie Ball 2836 Slinky nickel round wound strings (45 - 65 - 80 - 100 - 130), which really serve this bass. What you see is what you get ! Look carefully at the photos taken from different angles and lights to see the real condition, which is excellent, the 3 main blemishes being photographed.

I've also considerably lowered the price for a quick sale. Don't hesitate to ask for more.

This one hurts but it has to be done… I’m selling my Rickenbacker 4003s in walnut. Immaculate condition with Ric hard case and all the bits and pieces. Bought new by me from Hot Rox in Nottingham in early 2019. Available for collection from Nottingham or local delivery/meet within an hour or so from Nottingham. This is part of a major clearout so no trades I’m afraid. Scammers abound, sadly, so I’d prefer not to ship and would rather meet to hand over in person. Please PM to discuss options - if I do agree to ship it’s at the buyer’s expense, UK only and only to established BC members with positive feedback. I’m lucky enough to have two Ricks - this and a 2010 4003 - and this is by far the nicer bass to play! No sticky neck, the finish is flawless, the body edges are comfortable and it’s a nice light weight. It also has my (not) patented thumb rest (which can be removed and the original pick guard screws put back). So why am I selling this one and not the 4003? Sentimental reasons - the 4003 was bought for me by my dear wife and I’ll be buried with it! Thanks for looking please PM with any questions.
