OK here it is. It seems someone ruined the party by trying to sell something and the thread got deleted rather than the single post presumably by accident.... http://basschat.co.uk/topic/270-rickenfakers/page__st__2460

[quote name='Happy Jack' timestamp='1495264909' post='3302492'] What happened to the old Rickenfaker thread? [/quote] Just trying to find out - no idea! Was it called 'The RIckenFaker Thread' or something?

I used to have a V-Bass and loved it to bits, and about two years ago I upgraded to the VB99. As Noirbass says it's a really 'routeable' system, in fact it's the hub of my office music/audio/bass system. I recently bought a GR20 and US20 splitter box to play both at once, I must admit the PCM sounds in the GR20 are great fun.

Check out Fusion bags. I love mine.

Thanks guys, it's difficult to specify an exact date but this date is going on when the first members signed up on BC in it's current guise. As many have said, before BC we were BassTalk; before that we were Bassworld... and before that we were a WAP based mobile site which I started in 6th form!! I'll see if I can find the exact date for a proper/second birthday which should ultimately mean extra presents, surely? Cheers ped

BTW I've spoken to marco about one of these before, he quoted 2300 Euros and 5 month build time.

Love the Marcustico. Looks great and sounds amazing. http://youtu.be/tD_jLdIiua4

[quote name='SpondonBassed' timestamp='1494785904' post='3298534'] The credit for that must go to Andy as I said above but thanks for the mention. Looking forward to the next one. [/quote] Very kind of you both, and totally unexpected. Look like a great bash, glad you all had a good time and thanks for the pics.

Sorry I couldn't resist editing your post!!!

[quote name='kodiakblair' timestamp='1494266058' post='3294536'] You're not helping [/quote] Would you like me to run you up some loan quotes?

And if you like a red one http://www.milanuncios.com/bajos/bajo-vigier-arpege-ii-de-coleccion-228782878.htm This is definitely a 100% graphite neck version.

[quote name='kodiakblair' timestamp='1494263894' post='3294510'] Lovely. But it comes up the month before I get back earning Mind you,still having a Vigier on the bucket list gives me something to strive for [/quote] Probably worth a speculative email to the the buyer, you never know, if it doesn't sell (which it may well not, they aren't incredibly well known and the advert is a bit lacking) you might be able to settle a deal after it ends?

I'm pretty sure it's a series 1 bass with a wooden neck though not a carbon one. The electronics are an interesting early version of the Nautilus system, which incorporates some presets on one of the knobs to switch between 12 (IIRC) settings.

Looks great, enjoy it!

Looks like a great little bass. Would be brilliant to have at work... Sorry about the crappy quality BC 'title card' by the way... maybe we need a competition to do a new one??? Cheers ped

This isn't over until you add pics

Congratulations on completing the set! Looks great.

as far as I'm concerned unless a company can reply to an email practically instantly (or at the very least within a few hours) they shouldn't suggest it as a form of contact at all. Too many companies put an email address seemingly for the sake of it!

I ordered something but put the wrong postcode. In the confirmation email it said email your customer support agent (it told me who it was, too) if there were any problems with the order. So I did, immediately. A couple of days later after it had been dispatched they replied

Excellent!! What are you going to do with the pickups? Would be cool to build a project around them...
