Stick it on with some double sided tape and glue fake screw heads onto the pick guard. (I'm being about 75% serious actually..!)2 points

But isn't part of the 'Ric' sound caused by having two truss rods that don't work properly?? *runs away*2 points

Errm... no. Especially given Kodiakblair's recent trials and tribulations with Paisley... I might consider a 50s -style pin-up though, that would be in keeping with the vibe.2 points

It's a possibility... courtesy of, and with thanks to, Mr Kodiakblair.2 points

Given your popularity, I'd say you are faced with an unreasonably large task if you take it all on. Good luck with that. You needn't worry. We're a casual lot for the most part. So, what brings you to this forum? I'm betting you aren't looking for tips on slap technique or the TAB showing how to play the intro to Wherever I Lay my Hat as played by Pino Palladino...2 points

We always get the drums set up first, with my amp on drummer's left and geetar on his right. Then we all drop 3 tabs of acid each and start on the Buckfast to prepare ourselves...2 points

First cd better than the second imho... Saw them live at Mcr Academy soon after they released the second - they were dreadful. Complete shambles. Still love the cleverness of the lyrics and range of genres parodied in the first though.1 point

I had a good number - 4001/3/4. For years, I didn't feel right without one. Thought it was my bass, even though far from all nailed 'the' tone. In the end, I play what I want rather than what I feel I should be seen with. Stopped chasing a tone which wasn't particularly achievable or appropriate for my usage. Never gone back. QC was for the price point, in many cases, appalling. I've detailed over many posts since I joined BC the individual problems mine came with. But it wasn't good in most cases. I must have been mad. Trouble is, 'the' tone is so varied....from Macca to Squire. The former is easy, but the Squire/Geddy thing...their tone wasn't achieved by just plugging in. ...and of course, half of 'Permanent Waves' (in Geddy's words at the time) and 'Moving Pictures' was the Jazz. How many Rics got sold on the back of 'Tom Sawyer'? At least a couple of mine!1 point

I used to have a CMD121P combo to which I added a NY121P cab. The increase in volume sounds more like four times and the fullness of sound is amazing. Do it now!!! As I already had a LM3 I sold the combo and bought another NY121P cab for my lightweight rig of LM3 plus two NY121P cabs.1 point

Without pick guard is my take. Nice colour. Was it a PB50 once?1 point

I've never tried. But playing along right now to some 'new' Grateful Dead CDs (21 discs 1971 live) is enough fun for me!1 point

Actually ive just ordered a Joyo UD, as although the MM is nice, its a bit dark and tame for what i was looking for (at the moment). Ill keep it for now as i only gave it one shot, and that was through a rig totally different to mine. I expect it will get used again as it is a great sounding always on pedal. I might even replace my BDDI as an experiment. I dont know what ill be buying next week to replace the UD with lol.1 point

Bump, all PMs replied to.1 point -
defo never the st moritz club. as has been mentioned, an absolute dive, not advertised anything. we was told well be on at 930 and had 10 mates coming to see us so they turned up at 915 as another band is setting up. I say to soundguy "whats going on" his reply was "oh weve slotted in another band last minute, your on at 1030 now". he then had the cheek to cut our set early as he said we ran over time1 point

It's becoming a proper Woolies Pick n' Mix bass tbh1 point

Mine was a wreck when I got it, I bought it back to life with a lot of TLC and every time it goes out the house I make a point of dinging it again. It's lovely. At the last gig I did with my old band I actually threw it across the stage in a bit of a rage.1 point -
For sale is this beautiful 2018 Elrick USA. The handcraft is flawless. The ergonomics and playability are the best I have come across. Sound is very versatile due to good woods, very useable eq and excellent pickups. The instrument has been played mostly at home, and it has seen only 1 gig. Not a single scratch or mark. All in all, a spectacular bass. The reason for selling is that the wenge neck was not my thing after all, I'm more maple neck guy. And gas for something new, as usual. Swamp ash body gorgeous walnut burl top wenge neck and fingerboard 34” scale and 18 mm string spacing, very comfortable (option) Aero pickups that can be used in dual or single coil mode ($650 option) Bartolini 3 band eq with bass, treble and switchable midrange active/passive switch weight 3.9 kg (very light!) original hard case included The price with these options would be $4450 plus customs and taxes. I am asking 2600€ or £2300 for it. The bass is located in Finland (EU area) and can be shipped anywhere at buyers expense. I may consider trades for a high quality 5-stringer around the same price range, such as Mtd or Fbass, or perhaps some cheaper easily selling bass, such as Fenders (+/- cash). Thanks for watching.1 point -

Blood and sand, Jez! For a start they look wonderful (mine's the one at the bottom if you are sending them as free gifts to deserving sycophants ) Secondly - we retirees rely on you employed folks to keep us in the manner we once dreamed could have been possible until we all realised that money purchase pension schemes are just charity donations to rich financiers. So it is always a concern if the employed tax-payers start letting their attention drift away from their prime purpose - that is of keeping the state pension provision afloat. So to come to the leading question - when on earth do you have time to work on your proper tax paying job if you have all those beauties on the go and should Phillip Hammond be informed? More specifically, do I need to tighten our family's belts and hide the gin from MrsAndyjr1515? Trust me, she's a very scary woman when she's sober! Ps. My wife's solicitors have served a cease and desist request based on the hurtful comment above. She wishes me to clarify that she is a very scary person whether she has consumed gin or not. I fully concur and apologise for what might have been a seen as a misleading statement.1 point

Jeff - welcome. Lucky enough to have caught you in Manchester when you (nearly) had your Dean bass lost by luggage handlers. Memorable rendition of ‘tears in heaven’ - very cool.1 point

God yes. It all gets very dark and serious when that starts. A silly story but we used top play a large club in Slough. During the high stakes Bingo on a Sunday night they banned any talking, phones off etc. Our guitarist, being a forgetful chap, didnt turn his off. Off he goes across the room to the bar. Whispers to the bar man for 3 pints, and starts to walk back with them. Now, im not sure why i did this, but i decided as he was crossing the dance floor to call his mobile. It might have been because i knew he had the Dambusters theme tune as his ring tone, and maybe because there was no way to put the drinks down, but it was the funniest moment we ever had at that venue.....expect for him of course 🙂1 point
