  1. It's a brave man who would do that to a Rick. Not for the dyed in the wool Rick fan but I'm sure that it will sell.
  2. ...but what a way to go!!! ROCK AND ROLL!!!
  3. Some interesting viewpoints here. I think that it's natural for our love of music to rise and wain, finding something that reboots that love is what is important when you feel lost. Personally, even though I also have periods where I struggle with my desire to play, I really can't envisage a time where I would want to be without a bass I can just plug in and play.
  4. River deep, mountain high - Ike and Tina Turner
  5. Alone again, naturally - Gilbert O'Sullivan
  6. For future reference Bernie is one of the world's Nice Guys...very helpful and extremely knowledgeable. The basses he builds aren't bad either.
  7. I'm getting worried now... I had an OBP2 installed in my Spector 6er - three different people had a go at fitting it before a new local luthier finally managed . The process took a couple of months which affected my desire to play 6er....played it for less than an hour. I'm going to have to check if I have similar issues.
  8. I'm getting married in the morning - trad...
  9. feinschmecker - not a word I was familiar with. Brownie points for using it here. Maybe I should have posted better photos - the Baphomet really is a classy instrument.
  10. A good home we all hope. One of Britain's finest (though I'm not a Wal fan) on it's way across the pond, probably never to be seen again.
  11. I bought a Kawai F2b which had a defective bridge pickup, which had a lower output. I really should have left it alone - tbh I could have lived with the lower output, especially as I'm predominantly playing 5ers now. Changing the pickups turned out to be a nightmare - I ordered a set of custom pickups which really were characterless and had to go back. Replaced these with a set of active Wilkinsons which are "fine" but not as punchy as the originals. The whole process took far longer than it should have and I'm not convinced that I've upgraded the electronics - if I was playing 4s I'd probably be thinking about a good quality preamp but since I'm not I'll leave it for the next owner to do if I sell what is an amazing bass. Images below are of the original pickups.
  12. The attention to detail suggests to me that its well made.
  13. I know nothing about this brand or model but I'm open to finding out more. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/256248633505?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=poqfvVu-QP-&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=3arTyUkpQE-&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY
  14. Free Nelson Mandela - Special AKA I went to the concert at Wembley but didn't get one😉😉
