These aren't Ric copies. I had a burst RB924 (which got stolen by the support band on tour in 1994!) which I loved. i bought it because it looked like a Ric but they are certainly in the Ibanez Musician category.

Ahhhhhhh....and relax.... -
Zon Six Strings are stellar. If I were to move back to six I would get another Zon... -
Anyone want to buy one of these? (goldtop US made wolfgang standard) I have one for sale. Drop me a line...cheers, Nick

And buuuuump!

I had a five string fretless version of a Sonus Special. A very growly, In your face tone thanks to the pickups being pushed back towards the bridge. This is a great rock bass in my experience.

Yes indeed!

What's the neck like on your new 4003? Skinny?

I have been discovering how good they sound over the past couple of years. With flats they occupy this perfect slot in a three piece sound. As a result the sound my band makes has this incredible clarity and stability. I've been auditioning other basses and nothing is working as well as the Ric. Ironic really given how often people complain about Rics being hard to mix. FLATS...bass nirvana...

I am beginning to fetish Rickenbacker 4001s. Seriously. I have been very close to pulling the trigger on the BG 4001 on the sales board. Trouble is, I already have a BG Ric 4001. My thought is to have one with flats and one with rounds. That's obsessional. I also want a Jetglo badly...they are such beautiful instruments...

very cool indeed. HWhat is the weight? Thanks, Nick -

For Trade Fender RW Jazz in Sunburst Traded

Cool bass and good luck with the sale . Hopefully will be in touch if my P shifts in time. Best, N -
Have a look at my luverly bass...it's bonzer...and fantastically good value at a new reduced price

Had a play on a couple. Meek acoustic sound (for obvious reasons) and less than stellar plugged in. Plugged in, I would just use a great electric bass.
-
Thanks for the suggestion. I think the issue with all of them is going to be volume. I play double bass but the thing is an acoustic only in a small space (radio station) so I thought it might a solution but looks like it won't work. I'll just play acoustic guitar and sing I think...

Hi folks Have to do an acoustic session imminently. Can anyone recommend a good sub 250 quid acoustic bass guitar that I could pick up on denmark street? I know NOTHING about these things! Cheers, Nick (Sorry, originally posted this in the wrong forum, my apologies)

Sorry, wrong forum! Please delete the post!

I think of it as a 'Pimp Miami Telebass'...It's very cool but I need the jazz sound right now....
-
It's a great bass indeed, but my need for a precision has waned and I now need a J! Cheers, N

Didn't Variax use euphemisms to avoid legal action? I hate DSP bass/amp and effect cloning. It sounds awful in my opinion. There's an aural 'glisten' to the sound that is analogous to the visual shine you still get on cgi/vfx to my ears.

Bump for price and pics

I think I have the sibling of this bass. What's te weight and the neck profile? Any neck dive or fret wear? Thanks Nick -
£450 Excellent precision bass but I need a jazz or a second Ric. Run ideas past me for a part-ex. I'm especially keen on American Vintage Jazzes and Rick 4001/4003s. Narrow necks, light weight and Jetglo much appreciated! This bass is extremely high quality and exceeds the American standard series in quality IMO. Warmoth bass spec - 9lbs and very well balanced - surf green ash body - tusq nut - wizard trad pup - badass II - maple/maple neck. It's an 'A' i.e. 1.5 inches wide. Very comfy chunky jazz profile. Sounds very good. - tele headstock with no decal - white tele bass p/guard - schaller tuners - straplocks - cts pots It's a well balanced, great sounding bass with classic thump and growl. Weighs 9lbs. Very good cond with a couple of small dings. You can check it out on youtube here...
