[quote name='tomb' post='1154528' date='Mar 8 2011, 09:15 PM']no idea... i like the feel of it, i like the weight, i like how thin it is and how it looks, makes me feel all Cliff Burton/Lemmy like, but still its not the real thing. was it a bairgain if it was the real thing? hell yes it was, but again it was a 70 year old man selling it to me after being friends of my family for over 40 years, damn he held me in his arms when i was born... so yes, i would believe that we would pass on a Rickenbacker to me since none of his children ever liked music now i just feel like crap and have no idea what to do or think...[/quote] I totally dig what your saying now mate, its more of a moral dilemma. This fella may believe this to be an original and also feels he has done you an amazing favour by passing this onto you for a snip of the real price. By selling it on may hurt his feelings if he ever questions where it is or how your getting on with it. However you are now 250 less than you had and still dont have a Ric. I would just say to him and take it from there.

regardless of it being a steal or a bargain..Its still a let down being he thought he was getting the deal of the year only to find out its a fake... What you going to do now Tomb?

why didnt you show us pics of the fretboard or headstock? It looks like you have dots on the fretboard rather than the shark inlays, even though you have binding on the body. That I believe is a mismatch. Is the fretboard lacquered? The bridge is wrong and even if it had been replaced you are still missing the routed hole where the original ric bridge sits into it. Also the binding below the bridge is continuous whereas the binding on mine stops below the bridge. If your offered a ric for £250 then I think you should just assume its a fake. Bassassin (Jon) is the man on this matter though.

You still got the jekyll and hyde pedal? I seen this bass advertised. I was quite interested but know nothing about them

yeah its a not bad price. I would hope for £250 to tell you the truth. However if you have the £300 and are comfortable paying it,,then jump at it.

[quote name='BottomEndian' post='1147210' date='Mar 2 2011, 03:08 PM'] LJ proving JTUK's point rather nicely there by bashing the living f*** out of that poor lil bass.[/quote] I bet that poor stingrays little heart sank that day when it found out who was playing him

[quote name='buff' post='1094270' date='Jan 18 2011, 07:32 PM']Im finding at the moment the sound to my ear's is lacking a bit, ive heard people saying they sound similar to a ricki. But as yet i cant hear it myself.[/quote] There is no comparison to a Ric and an Epi JC. The Ric is a far superior beast with a totally different sound to it. I have owned a JC in the past and although it was a nice novelty to play with, I moved it on quite sharpish when I realised it just wasnt for me. Nice to look at however the novelty value wore off and I was left with an uncomfortable to play Epiphone.

[quote name='JTUK' post='1147057' date='Mar 2 2011, 01:15 PM']Talking about the vid...DK is normally pretty clean sounding but if you hammer into a P-Bass then you can get a quite scruffy sound. I put it down to the bass/pups used rather than the player. Pops and LJ used to have a peak-y sound whilst slapping as well, IMO...both used P-bass configs. Of course LJ also used MM but have you seen how hard he hits the thing?[/quote] Who's pops and LJ??

Seen tis advert and I am now going to sell my Jag [url="http://www.gumtree.com/london/71/74692371.html"]http://www.gumtree.com/london/71/74692371.html[/url]

[quote name='Ou7shined' post='1146529' date='Mar 1 2011, 10:34 PM'] Actually it just makes me want to try harder. C'mon Steve unpack that [s]Tokai[/s] er... genuine Rickenbacker and give it some welly. [/quote] aaaaaaaarggghhh ITS A REAL RIC. Well so the seller told me before he disappeared in a puff of smoke after handing over the cash hahahahahahaha

Aye nice one Rich, I have now had to stick ma basses away in their cases...........after watching that I feel like there is just no point anymore.

I had the BK200 for a while. Its a really good combo and will do a small/medium gig possibly upto to 50-100 folk. However as Warwick says there are other combos for the price with alot more headroom. The versatility in these combos are great and will easily do the warm bluesy sound and then can channel in lots of top end for some slap. I found the switchable tweeter at tad fearce and not really usable with my Jag, in saying that I think that may have been the Jags fault with its poor grounding. The only real bad point of these amps is the resale. Even though they retail at over 400notes, you will find it hard to move on once your ready to try something else. Soundwise I think you will love these and ignore the bottom of the range talk as that doesnt even come into it. I never DI'ed it so not sure about the 1/4" jack question. The only real issues is the headroom that it kinda lacks and of course resale.

I was having the logging in problem with my iphone. Just double checked and everything seems to be sorted now. Ta for that

Had Mark set up my Ric 4003. He done a bang up and very professional job on it. If you want your bass to play like a top end bass regardless of what it is, then get it over to Mark to sort it for you. Cheers

hey there, is this book still out there. cna i be added to the list please. Cheers

Can I be added onto the list. This man makes being a country gentleman cool. I actually wanted to make some cheese after watching a show about him hahaha. Cheers
