OK, I've changed the title of the thread to "transitional" I've PM'ed the OP to tell him I've done it,and why. It's up to him if he still want's 2K for it wether it's worth it or not, and up to the individual if they want to pay 2K or not. So let's not get into a bun fight over pricing please. In the interests of other's trying to sell stuff let's let this one lie, unless the OP revises his price etc. Ta

Bump

Zig Answer my PM's so we can sort the deal out on this after your offer. Cheers

I had one exactly the same as this, also bought from the Bass Centre in Birmingham in 1998, it wouldn't surprise me if this one is from the same batch as mine. Brilliant bass.

[quote name='Marvin' timestamp='1334169292' post='1612019'] If you want to save yourself a few quid you're in luck mate. Possibly not the real thing though, WoT's got one for sale and it's black!!! [url="http://basschat.co.uk/topic/173256-for-sale-rockinbetter-copy/"]http://basschat.co.u...kinbetter-copy/[/url] [/quote] Nah, too expensive, and the wrong shade of black.

[quote name='silddx' timestamp='1334150821' post='1611630'] A mate of mine loves Ricks, has a few guitars all fairly new, and a 4001. He's had to send a couple of the guitars back to be replaced because of QC issues and poor finishing, he has a (360?) 12 string that has a tuning peg route that was totally messed up at the factory, and his 4001 had to have a new nut and full set up at the Gallery to stop the G falling off the side of the neck when played. The string mute adjuster keeps falling off too, awful bridge design. [b]He still loves them but readily admits he's more often than not disappointed with the quality and quality control.[/b] He has to work had to get a good one, because they make so few of them. He's taken five years to get four that he's happy with, and even two of those needed work at his own expense I love the look of the 4001 basses, but I can't buy stuff from someone who behaves so pathetically, even if I wanted to, which I don't because they play so badly and are so poorly designed. [/quote] So what they need, as well as a sane CEO, is a decent Quality Engineer, which is where I come in, so Mr Hall, fire your Quality Manager and Quality Engineer, cause' they are clearly crap, and apoint me instead. Go on I dare you. Seriously I have just recently aquired Ricky GAS and was looking for a black one. Needless to say Mr Hall, can now stick it. I've always thought the build quality was crap, but I just fancied one. When you have to spend extra dosh to get a brand new bass put right something is clearly very wrong. Congratulations Mr Hall for shooting yourself in the foot big style. I'm friggin' disgusted.
