I have room full of basses here but my 2010 Ray 5 is my all rounder, it has a slightly high fret (6th I think?) if you set the action super low but nothing a pro setup and fret dress stone wouldn't solve in less than two minutes other than that it is perfect right down to the sparkle blue finish, it isn't very heavy either. It feels like a bass you could take on a world tour and need nothing other than strings and a few 9v batteries which is probably why there are still a fair few pro players using them even though more exotic stuff exists.

Mine all have room to spare anyway so nothing I will need to worry myself with, Old Horse Murphy had the action down to a gnats knacker on my Classic 5 before I owned it too but I have since raised it up.

I am way too ham fisted to worry about that, two minutes on a bench grinder would solve it should you really need to.

Like I said all mine are five string so don't have the weak G, I'm still waiting to hear about the problem with the saddles?

We have the same issue with our DBtechnologies powered monitors.

I do like the look of them, always have.

Not your thread, the NBD thread by RedVee , He said that EBMM are lacking in quality yet in his thread the Rick has most of the niggles they come with that need putting right.

I'm not sure, every one I've had has been maple 😃

The 55-94 is a great bass, and twice the price though? I dont think any SR5s have an unrolled board, maybe less than some.

All mine are five string so I don't have the weak G, this thing about saddles is new to me so I'm not sure yet what "the usual flaws" are yet.

I'm not on any other forums.

I'd start a 'Rickenbacker basses, Overated?' Thread but hardly anyone rates them highly anyway 🤣 Junk.

Doesn't bother me at all, who says I can't handle it? , I play a USA Jazz most the time anyway. Did I trash the Ricky in the Ricky thread? You can't comment on terrible bridge saddles (that no one else has heard of) and say they are low quality compared to a Rick when in your own thread you are talking about changing the shoddy bridge, altering the pickup height to fix that issue, glueing the other pickup back in straight and having to fit a pickup surround on a hugely expensive bass without getting picked up on it.

Yeah good family pie session thanks, I'll get Jim to ask about the club to do the set up and see what dates we can all do to suit you, our iem tech!

Yes I'm feeding the laptop into the XR, The bass in via the BDI21 then out aux 4 to my ears, we must have changed it when we went for a pie, two of the other three were on stereo too.

I presume it gained that weight and sounded nasal after you bought it then somehow? I've tried many Ric's, they were all junk in my opinion, so I didn't buy them!

They've "fixed all the issues" yet you've listed the modifications it needs in your thread, lol.

I have just been playing around with the patented BCIEM setup of a behringer P2 and KZ ks10s and gone from the worst to the best sound ever, I had loads of crackle and couldn't trace it, tried various leads and muting every channel, tried the other P2s (I have 4 now) all the same, yep they were on stereo not mono! With that sorted I was happy again but decided just 'to try' the other size ear buds that come with the KZs, the small were far too small and they fell out, the large are much better and the BASS is there in spades now, cracking! I am blasting some Paramore through them🤘

I presume we are talking about the ability to handle the bottom end when they are talking about the fancy HF driver? if so only the 735 and 745 have it coupled to the 15" driver. I am sure the 12 is good but it wont handle the bass like the 15, it is the spec and cost of the 15 in the 735/745 that makes them expensive yet a bargain at the same time! I have a pair of 735s yet even when they are not on FOH duty I never use them, I use a Genz 12" cab and head combo as my monitor, if that can't keep up with the stage volume it is not a band I want to be in anyway,lol.

So.....have you joined the club?😃

I see you've just purchased a Rickenbacker!?!? 🤣

Una libra es la palabra para 'pound' en español😜 Pound=lb

I've had solid and hollow ones on four and five strings without any issues, in fact I've got both now still I think.

I've never had or heard of any issues with the saddles?

I think the seller could get 1200 from a commision sale even after the fee, I wouldn't sell it for less if it were mine but it depends how much the seller needs to sell it and what it cost them. If I still played 4s I'd be after it myself!
