[quote name='thedontcarebear' post='315396' date='Oct 26 2008, 11:12 PM']1500? Surely that's a bit low, did you mean 15,000?[/quote] Nope,1,500 miles a year Maximum

[quote name='7string' post='85424' date='Nov 8 2007, 02:20 PM']Here's my contribution to this thread !! Mine's a Sei Offset Flamboyant 7 string [url="http://www.seibass.com"]www.seibass.com[/url] otherwise known as 'Jezebel'. I'd wanted a Sei for about 12 years before I was in a position to place the order. I'd met Martin Petersen at one of the music shows and, even though I'm just a regular Joe, he spent time to go over the designs and construction of his Sei basses. From that time, I've never played a bass that felt as good, or that was as well built as a Sei. Come 2006 and I placed the order, a year later the bass was ready for collection. The thru-neck is flamed maple & wenge and is topped with a birds-eye maple 'board with my signature laser-etched into a mother-of pearl block at the 12th fret. The core of the body is walnut, with a veneer of bolivar which has been dyed claret (which actually looks pinkish) separating it from the full facings of lacewood. Pink is my fiancee's favourite colour so it was great to incorporate that into the instrument. Electronics are passive and are just 1 custom Kent Armstrong humbucker, to 1 volume control. I have basses with active circuits, but I always leave the EQ flat anyway, so I didn't see the point in having any onboard tone shaping!! The bass has an XLR out in addition to the regular 1/4" as well as coil-tap button on the lower edge. Pull the volume pot and the purple LED's on the side of the neck light up. It's just one heckuva bass !! The close-up pics are courtesy of London-based Graphic Artist, Gareth Jones. [/quote] If that was headless it would be PERFECT,never have liked that headstock,stunning bass though mate

I've worked in a Guitar shop,and would never have dreamed of saying that to a customer,afterall,repeat business puts food on the Table You should have responded that "You should get a Job you actually like,but don't make it comedy" I wish I could afford/had the space for 57 basses,I know someone that has over 100 USA Handmade Neckthru B.C.Riches,he doesn't know exactly what he has or indeed where he's stashed them all LOL I also kinda know a guy in Scotland that has over 170 instruments including 30 Gibson Thunderbird basses Keep on collecting mate,and shop elsewhere

[quote name='Smash' post='314392' date='Oct 25 2008, 10:27 AM']Oh my oh my, Just woke up this morning to find an email from the seller telling me I have not read his terms and conditions and has now sent me the full amount back into my Paypal account and due to the weak pound against the dollar I have ended up making £40. Result, Ebay/Paypal for once you haven't failed me. Thanks for the advice on here I now feel so relieved.[/quote] Congrats,glad it worked out for you

[quote name='OutToPlayJazz' post='311072' date='Oct 21 2008, 09:53 AM']When it was new two and a half years ago, my car definitely had the edge. Now it has 130,000 miles on it I think the basses have the edge! Rich.[/quote] WHAT!!!!!!!! Do you ever sleep,or do you do that whilst driving? I drive 1500 miles a year MAX in my 2000 Volvo I suppose it doesn't help that I hate my car,I miss all 4 of my Nissan Bluebird Turbo's

[quote name='Smash' post='313843' date='Oct 24 2008, 02:34 PM']Just a quick update, checked the tracking code again and this came up: "The U.S. Postal Service was electronically notified by the shipper on October 4, 2008 to expect your package for mailing. This does not indicate receipt by the USPS or the actual mailing date. Delivery status information will be provided if / when available. Information, if available, is updated every evening. Please check again later." Tried a couple more emails to seller and no response as yet. I can't help but feel a little concerend still.[/quote] I would be VERY concerned,especially with your post "Tracking complete",it should not be complete at all!! Here's the way my tracking went on a bass recently Accepted New Jersey 13th september In New Jersey central sorting office 18th September (Bas***s,it was 17 miles away!) Left USA 21st Sept In foreign (U.K.) Customs 22nd Sept At Parcelforce 23rd September Letter through the door,stating holding bass until duty paid 23rd September,went and got it And that was sent to me with SUPER cheap shipping from the USA $134 via USPS Like I said,I would be extremely worried by now,sorry

You probably won't believe this,given the sharpness of my basses but Billy Sheehan missed the list,as he's just got so repetative,so Bernard Edwards (R.I.P.),and a B.C.Rich player to boot-good man Pino Palidino John Myung and bringing up the reserves,my good friend Bob Daisley

[quote name='tonybassplayer' post='314213' date='Oct 24 2008, 10:30 PM']I would really love to borrow this bass for tomorrow night's gig and play Mustang sally with it [/quote] Funny,I used to play in a Jazz band with the 1979 B.C.Rich Bich 8 string bass in the front of this picture and the 1979 Bich 8 string bass in the back on the left I still own the 2 Biches at the back and the Phil Lynott Mockingbird

Thanks Guys,next year it is going to look almost identicle (Except for the bridge) to this,the ultimate IMHO Widow bass

[quote name='bass_ferret' post='312608' date='Oct 22 2008, 11:09 PM']Glad to see you are still keeping the faith - unlike Shockwave [/quote] Yeah,I should be saving for the Sei I tried at a trade show in 1992,or getting another Ibanez Roadstar like the one I shouldn't have sold

Well,a couple of guys here might like it 1994 MK 1 USA handmade B.C.Rich D.D.Verni model Widow Bass (At least it is until my luthier works on it next year) Well,it arrived a few hours ago,needs a damn good set up The Mk 1 (left) in comparison to the MK 2 (right)

Just do what I do when Adminning the BC Rich Player's forum,any new account needs mine or the other Admin's autherisation,If I see the member's language is set to Albanian,then too bad,you ain't getting in,that's where 99% of the scumbags come from,also look out for any email addresses that have the same name as the intended member's user name,especially on Gmail

[quote name='steve-soar' post='293801' date='Sep 28 2008, 11:43 AM']Hi Lorne, lovely looking bass and a good job the numpties at ups didn't smash it. Are we still friends? [/quote] Sure we are-Are you the guy who wanted lefty BCRS???

I got this handmade 1987 USA B.C.Rich neck Thru ST bass for an absolute steal from my friend in New Jersey,he bought a Road Runner polyfoam case for it and shipped it via USPS Unfortunately they decided to drop the bass on it's headstock,but the polyfoam case allowed the bass to shift forward and puch it's way through the foam,slowing it down enough to not damage the bass at all,If it had been in a Proper hard case,the headstock would have snapped off Anyway,here's my new old bass and the damage the headstock and one of the tuners did to the case

Steve and I didn't see eye to eye recently,but I bear him no ill wind,never did Rest easy Steve
