  1. I remember when I was younger........... pull up a sand bag........ I was in Kempsters and Sons in Swindon, Wilts, drooling over basses. As I made my way towards the Rickenbacker, the guy actually said "You wouldn't like that...." Maybe I'd accidentally played Expansions on another bass in there, who knows. However, they are hot potatoes, for sure.
  2. Hehe....... I think I originally meant the purchase of them, on here........ I certainly know now........!
  3. That's because were British and we're all right wing types who want the world to burn.....
  4. Wow! How dare they threaten us........ the aristocracy of the bass loving world.........!
  5. You never see anything on here about Rickenbacker......... well, I don't. What's that about?
  6. I'm really surprised this is still for sale............. Bump...........
  7. Sold a RW Jazz to Ben and it was a pleasurable experience all round. He's also been helpful and inspirational in the set up of bass guitars. Buy and sell with more than confidence, Thanks Ben.
  8. Thank you eneade........ 50mm 1.4 and a sunny morning........ what's that medium format?

SN14LW Anybody welcome to come over and have a play and behold this serious instrument. I'd be happy to take a couple of instalments for the bass, if that helps. Tradewise, I’m gassing for a Rickenbacker....... Happy viewing,

  14. Congratulations to Punkpappa......... back on the scene after 19 years. Thoroughly nice chap.
  15. Thank you Davidson. The closer shots were done with a 50mm lens, f1.4.....
  16. It's badass. Too good to just deliver a bass in, I know.............. If nobody wants it you can have it Skidder.
  17. This is a beautiful, lightweight example of this highly coveted bass. 8.9lbs on the bathroom scales. Nickel stack knob with original control plate included. I bought this from a session bassist and it's set up so nicely. It used to belong to Daveyboyrooster back in the early days. He added the stack knob. I'm sure he wouldn't mind offering a reference if anyone was interested. There is one thing which may niggle some - there is an extra screw hole next to another for the bridge cover. The sale includes the case and delivery. Overseas delivery will be different. The case in not a Fender case but one that came with a P-bass I bought. When I asked the guy "what kind of case is that?" he replied, a s**t one. I think it goes with the bass perfectly. Anyway, as many people know, these are mustard for the money. Even the headstocks are cut slimmer like the old days. Any questions, please ask. I'm in Swindon, SN1 4LW. You're welcome to come and have a play.
  18. Thanks......... quite a few people say that actually.
  19. These have never left the house & I think the boxes for them are in the loft. Very honest, uncoloured sound. Ed Friedland loves them. Bought from Bass Direct and have the receipt. Here's their spec..... http://www.genzbenz.com/?fa=detail&mid=2858&sid=704&cid=96 I'll bung up some more images at the weekend. Collection preferred. Bass test welcomed. I'm in Swindon, SN1 4LW. Cheers guys..... and gals
