    Good for you Bluewine. I don't have the opportunity to make money, playing in an originals goth/post-punk band (very niche audience). If I could make decent money doing this, I would of course happily do so. But it's not going to happen and I am fine with that as it's a hobby (like watching football, which costs me a lot each year for my two Arsenal season tickets). To paraphrase you: not getting paid to have fun is also awesome

    Oh my God. That's just awful. I bought and sold basses with Nick on many occasions (we used to vie for the most embarrassingly long feedback threads on BC) and he was just such a nice, easygoing guy. He plainly adored his wife Alice (and their dogs) and I believe their favourite piece of music was "Alice in wonderland" by Bill Evans Trio. Leaving that here, thanks for the memories mate. RIP Nick https://youtu.be/aP1Br5gZTSU?si=uVa0E-4z3tGlQ0vy

    Well, I gave the bass a try-out at a gig and it worked just fine (pic below) but its back up for sale. I will consider near offers on the asking price. No trades. Can also post as have box incoming. For full disclosure, one thing I noticed when setting up at the gig is the treble volume control had cut out, which I restored in a few seconds by giving it several 360 degree turns - I am pretty sure all it needs is a squirt of contact cleaner (or a few turns).

    It was around 1hr 40 min journey both ways. TBH, it takes me most of that to get to rehearsals in NE London (I live in SW London)

    The deal was the door receipts would be split between the two bands and they would give us something towards petrol money. In other words, buttons! I don't do it for the money, purely for the fun of gigging (it's a hobby for me). I can only assume the Nottingham band are just trying to build a national following - they were all 50s/60s and have been gigging for decades so I guess they also like the rock and roll life!

    I just bought an Orange TB amp from Rick in the time-honoured car park meet, BC style. Super friendly, very easy to deal with and the amp is exactly as described. Very happy 😊

    The Pipeline in Brighton last night. Fun but smaller crowd than we would have ideally liked (and I felt for the main act who drove all the way from Nottingham). Guess even a rainy Sunday night doesn't pull out all the goths! Anyhow, my make-or-break test run of Rickenbacker was OK but not as comfortable as my short scale Mustang

    Sale pending

    I dug out my payment receipts for the Handbox (£855) and Padded custom cover recommended by @wateroftyne (£75), together £930. Plus the DI cable cost £10 ish. So, in response to an offer, I think my price of £750 is fair and firm for a mint amp (and the extras) that's never been outside my house.

    OMG, Nick Cave & Bad Seeds back on form with amazing, anthemic new single Wild God

      I like the song, but I'm not crazy about the mix. Sounds very toppy to my ears, but that may well be a Nick Cave thing. I'm far from an expert as far as he's concerned.

      ….and I’ve only just noticed how long we have to wait for the whole album! August 😬

    If anyone is curious what this amps sounds like, there are a ton of videos from BC's @wateroftyne on his video channel: https://youtube.com/@jollybeggars?si=MbiEsRs5qKhGFp-z

    Well at least we can settle down on a cold, rainy Spring evening and enjoy Book One of his trilogy

    Happy to be the first to start a feedback thread for Joshua, who bought an amp off me. All good!

    On request, a pic of the dual truss rod nuts (which work fine, I had to slacken them for the TI flats) and the rout for the added neck pickup

    Bump. Less keen on selling the whole rig but will do so if it helps seal the deal

    Is it a new bridge, Brian, lol!

    Rickenbacker 4003

    Clarky replied to a topic in Bass Guitars

    Binding to the slab body on a 4003 whereas 4003s is unbound and not slab/more carved, so its more comfy on the forearm and ribs IMHO

    Rickenbacker 4003

    Clarky replied to a topic in Bass Guitars

    Is that a Rickysounds V63 conversion? They look great
  22. Clarky
    If my Ric sells, I will be down (gulp) to one bass for the first time in 10-15 years. This one, my '73 Mustang. 😋
  23. Clarky
    If anyone wants the whole rig I will also throw in the large Auralex Gramma (vibration damping) pad on which its currently sat (seems to cost circa £110 at Thomann, yikes).
  24. Clarky
    Had a request to post some additional detailed pics on the ad. So first off the bridge showing typical elderly Ric tail lift
  25. Clarky
    And sold
