David purchased a trace Elliot foot switch from me instant payment, we kept in touch during the transaction. Nice to do business with you.

It was indeed Martin Gordon he is easily contactable on facebook i have chatted with him a few times he had a great Ric tone and he still does his main axe a modern 4003 maple finish.

As a Ric owner myself i have a new 2015 4003 Maple Glo and i have 2004 Montezuma Brown, now both are excellent basses and sound fantastic the 2004 MB has the older type pickups while the 2015 has the hotter new adjustable pole piece pickups, the Monty to my ears has a richer or warmer sound to it being 12 years old , and the 2015 model has a brighter more lively sound to it, it may just be the character of each individual Bass, as they different piece's of wood, and the MB has Bubinga on the fret board, and the MG has a caribbean rosewood fret board. if it was a matter of only one bass i would keep the MB as it has that lived in warm/rich sound which sounds like a classic Ric tone, as the MG ages i am sure it will mellow and sound richer with time.

Only thing i do not like about G4M is they don't offer a next day delivery, but i had a look at their current site and they now do offer next day delivery at a price of course.

Here is my Cheyenne II give you an idea of tone. [url="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QAb7MB84Drk"]https://www.youtube....h?v=QAb7MB84Dr[/url] and my 4003 to compare https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wQjNr7P5SEI

Would not use a pc for recording , Mac is the only way to go for serious recording, there are always issues with pc been there done that. no matter the power of the pc/lapotop they just don't hack it for multitrack recording don.t waste your money on a pc is my 20 years recording music advice!!!!

Really enjoying this Bass, a pleasure to look at and the tone is just pure classic Rickenbacker these 2004 basses have the older pickups , the poured resin shark inlays, one piece neck, and the 330k pots which sound spot on to me. Classic ric tone without the worry of looking after an older 4001 and the problems that can bring. The Montezuma is very rare and very few of them made it to the uk total production between 2004 and 2006 was colour of the year 2004 but it took Rickenbacker a couple of years to build the basses that were ordered, total made was 300 Basses. if you see one grab it !!!!

i use a vintage 4x12 power house 1000w 4 ohm cab full control over hi end is a big bonus. huge sound , velvet bottom end, just a pleasure to use.

These Cabs are just incredible sounding i am lucky enough to have one, the vintage power house 4x12 1000w 4 ohm version full control over the high end too , any one else use these incredible cabs ???
