[quote name='MB1' timestamp='1316519131' post='1379020'] MB1. its a through neck! What do you think my name is Dean Tavolaris?(Magician Extraordinaire) BUMP! [/quote] Through neck......through neck! Going all posh now are we? When I was a lad we used to nail the necks on and like it!

I'll take this Martin, but only if you change that bloody carbon neck and put a decent wooden one on..........gets coat.

Sorry Paul but all my experiments with 5ers have ended up as [expensive] failures. Thanks for the offer though.

Tell yer what, I'll up my previous offer.... Now: A Stingray 30th Anni PLUS Sue Ryder Modded PLUS Yellow Spangles AND 4 malteasers (though there is a dog hair on one of them). Is that serious enough for yer? BUMP..

Well this is now going back to it's previous owner, and my old Ray 30th is coming back to me. Guess that's the way it was meant to be!

Another bounce before I drop some cash on a nice Ric strap with Schaller strap locks (The standard fitted buttons fit Schaller locks for those that may be interested) and the purchase guilt makes me withdraw. Still open to trades as well as cash........but I am a fussy burger

This still here TIM?

I wish you'd hurry up and sell this....this is painfull!

Fancy a swap for a Ric, a slightly modded Sue Ryder and 5 of the opaque yellow spangles that are very rare these days?.............BUMP

Might be with you in the next couple of days....as my (similar condition to yours) 4003 hasn't moved I've made the mistake of playing it (always knew I was a closet Jam fan) and if I can find a way of stopping the neck moving horizontal on a strap then it may have to stay for a while. Not really played a 4003 before (had a few fumbles on 4001s occassionally) but I'm fairly impressed with the 2011 build quality. Just got to sell the concept of using a Ric over a 70s type Fender in the upcoming Motown/Soul band project.....

Cracking little amps these. I used one with an 8 ohm MB cab for a couple of years, fine for small to medium sized pubs or monitoring and DI on a big stage.

Close to deciding to hang onto this for a bit so don't dawdle if you're interested...

Think someone should nab this before the graphite pixies get it.....

Chris will that leave you with Ricks only? Am I missing something about Ricks?.........dilemma.

This still here TIM?

Really nice bass Martin.......if I could only slap.

Do you reckon I'll get away with the Ric for a Stax/Soul band or I'll have to get creative with the Ray FL?
