    No problem! Lovely, lovely bass. GLWTS.
  2. 4000 started following Nate Mendel Fender Precision Bass £700 - *SOLD* , RESERVED for Z**r - Pedulla MVP4 Custom with OHSC, 3,9KG/8,6lbs - *SOLD* , NBD - 4001C64 replica. and 2 others

    I used to have one of these, an ‘88. Brilliant bass. I px’d it against a Wal Custom and regretted it soon after as I preferred it to the Wal. For some reason I can only see one picture here. Did it go?

    It looks stunning either way! Of course one bonus is if having one built you can specify things like neck dimensions, pickups etc.

    I’ve owned well over 20 Rics. I’ve certainly had at least 4 or 5 that were better. My 2 x CSs were way down the pile for me, other than the wonderful looks (and the neck on the ‘91) I didn’t really rate them. FWIW I was actually just trying to provide a balanced view for anyone considering both. It’s all subjective anyway. Its certainly a lovely looking bass though and given that my ‘72s would now be in excess of £5k each it’s an absolute no-brainer if you want a vintage style Ric.

    Not entirely true. I had one built; it’s great, but I still prefer my 2 x ‘72 4001 basses. It’s certainly better than many of the Rics I’ve owned, but it’s certainly not better than all of them.

    Lemmy, Hawkwind era.

    Used to see quite a bit of Nigel when he worked at A1 Music back in the day. Lovely bloke. In fact it was him & Drew sold me my main bass. And yes, he is a great player.

    Beat me to it! 😂

    Cheers. Just fancied a dabble with fretless on occasion. GLWTS!

    He confirmed that it was shimmed earlier in the thread. 😉

    My problem is that I have several prolapsed discs, both cervical and lumbar. Having had 10lb basses that cripple me and that were sold for that very reason (Alembic and Wal), 11.5lbs is way over my limit. 😉
  13. 4000
    Am I correct in reading that as 11.5lbs? If so, it does help, thank you. Unfortunately it also makes it at least 2.5lbs too heavy for me, sadly.
  14. 4000
    Ah, right. Yes, certainly wired differently to me then. I don’t really like most blues (there are some exceptions, like Peter Green) and although I’ve tried many times - since the ‘80s in fact - on the recommendations of others, I just can’t seem to enjoy any of the GD’s output. Strangely enough - which I guess shows how differently we perceive these things - it’s the warmth and passion of Yes that I love!
  15. 4000
    No, that’s absolutely fair enough. 👍🏻
  16. 4000
    It wouldn’t have sounded that different. And it would still sound far more like the original than completely different equipment. Maybe they had a bad night when you saw them? I’ve seen them 4 times and ‘lifeless’ certainly doesn’t apply!
