  1. Currently hankering after a Fender RW Jazz in Red. I've recently rekindled my love of Jazzes and this would do until I won the lottery and could afford a 63 Jazz.....
  2. [quote name='spongebob' timestamp='1395659372' post='2404698'] I've ordered one today - so we'll see how we get on..... [size=4] [/size] [/quote] I'd keep hold of the original Ric bridge tho SB just in case you decide to sell up at some point. For some reason Ric owners can be a bit touchy about replacement bits ;-)
  3. [quote name='Dingus' timestamp='1395347786' post='2401498'] Very sorry to hear you aren't getting on with the Rick, Muzz. Are you sure you're nut being a bit too hasty to judge? I've been in exactly the situation with basses I have bought sight-unseen, and some of them have grown on me over time, to the extent that I wouldn't part with them now. [/quote] +1 My first 4003 went back after 2 weeks because I didn't get on with it (ie. it was too different from my Fenders/Musicmen...). A couple of years on and I acquired the same bass via a convoluted route. It's not my go to bass but I do love it on those 'special occasion' gigs.
  4. [quote name='wateroftyne' timestamp='1395264924' post='2400530'] It sounds like you might need more speakers.... [/quote] Adding an extension 2x10 traveller or 1x12 NYC will make a BIG difference....
  5. Love my MD 4003 - great colour, would like one of those Walnutty jobbies though...
  6. [quote name='mikegatward' timestamp='1395228910' post='2399901'] Whatever I happen to be selling always seems to be out of fashion / no longer favour of the month. I seem to be a trendsetter in reverse [/quote] We must be related Mike!!!
  7. Hi Chris, Rotherham just off J1 of the M18. Also happy to do a part way meet up if helpful....
  8. Pics now added!!! Still £350, postage not offered but will meet up within a reasonable distance for fuel contribution :-)
  9. [quote name='flunkie' timestamp='1394827739' post='2395780'] What's the weight of this one? [/quote] Think they're all around 7lbs....none of that pesky variable wood to interfere with the uniformity of design specs.
  10. According to the forum guys (I know, I know), it's about the same weight or a little less than a standard 4003. I don't usually like the look of natural basses but this does look nice.
  11. You're not wrong Rich. I always say to people don't ever buy something I buy even if it's great and the most popular thing going because as soon as I buy one it goes out of fashion lol. As you know mate these are great cabs, certainly the best sounding and loudest 115 I've ever come across - and did I mention it was superlight? This one's mint and looking for a loving new owner. If I had the space (and the money) for a super compact to pair it with it wouldn't have been going. Having said that I'm happy with my mini MarkBass 2 x NY121 rig, keeping the compact as well would be just greedy (and be the cause of serious earache from the other half!).
  12. [b]One final reduction for this mint Compact to £350 - no haggling please.[/b] Collection or close meet up only. Trades above still considered but my requirement for a head is no longer the case.
  13. [quote name='MB1' timestamp='1394473739' post='2391700'] MB1. [/quote] Love it...
  14. So just £75 for this mint mandocaster with strap and (nearly complete) set of spare strings.
  15. I think the acronym is BUGGER. I occasionally think about selling mine, then I come to my senses.....
  16. Picked up a couple of NY121 cabs recently to go with my LM3. Haven't had a chance to use yet. Can't wait :-)
  17. [quote name='Iheartreverb' timestamp='1394226151' post='2389423'] Ah right. Well I'd be looking at Ric high gains or the classic amplification hand wound alternative (that some people say are better). I just don't know how much diff either pot (250/500) would make versus the 330's [/quote] Have a chat with some of the guys on the ric resource forum, they'll be able to advise. One of them puts harnesses together for 4004s and 4003s who's a lot more knowledgeable and should be able to give practical advice. Just don't say it's a faker ;-)
