That answers the question!

Nice bass. Is it nitro or poly? And no onboard preamp I presume?/

Mr. Funkle. Going to try to sell as a group....but if they don't sell I will get back to you. Thanks!

Full set of Hipshot hardware that came off a recent bass purchase. Hipshot HB2 tuners (with black screws) Hipshot kickass bridge (with black screws) strap buttons Black string tree Black scratch plate screws Black control plate

Great condition. Moving on from my regular workhorse band and so thinning out some gear. This is the cheapest price I've seen by far. Grab a bargain.

Glad the Ric worked well! Still tempted with the jazz....

I had an original '76 jazz bass that was even heavier, but I really feel the weight added to the tone. That's a great looking bass. Good luck with the sale!

Switched to a American Performer P bass neck as I like the slightly narrower nut, hence the sale for this great neck. Specs: C-shaped neck with 7.25" fretboard radius and vintage-style frets. 44.5mm nut width. Truss rod works as it should. £275 plus £15 shipping UK.

Yes please. I'll send DM

Do you know which pick ups? Was it 2010 they switched to the vintage reissue pickups?

I'll take both for £25. DM to follow

That should go quick Clarky! Nice looking. I'm certainly tempted!

Grounding strip. Old school basses used them.

Uh Oh...wish I had 2 of these!

Lovely American Original Jazz bass. In very good condition and strung with LaBella flatwounds. Nice low action and sounds stellar. One small ding in the lower bout (see photo) that's been repaired. Includes case candy, but the case is a tweed Thomann case I preferred over the ortiginal black one...and now can't find the original case! Happy to ship, or drive within reason. weighs 9lb. 5 oz. (4.3kg)

Wow. I just bought a American Original Jazz for £1150 and thought that was a great price. This is an amazing price.

Thanks Mr. Funky!

I have a American Original Jazz bass incoming so this beauty has to go as I have a nice 50's classic P that I can use when the P bass bug bites. I built this up 8 months ago when I had the hankering for a AV2 or AO P bass...but didn't want to spend over £1500 on such an instrument. I found a new AO P bass neck from Thomann and then built the bass around that. Here's what we have: -2023 American Original Neck, purchased from Thomann. -Custom Solderless P Bass harness, Alpha A250k solid shaft pots. -Fender Pure Vintage '63 Precision Bass Pickups -2 Piece alder American alder body with custom nitro sunburst finish -Aged vintage tuners. -Ash tray and pick up cover -Will come with Fender round wounds, but flatwounds have always been used so barely any wear on the frets. Bass weighs 8.75lbs. (3.9kg) Happy to ship UK. It does show some wear on the body as it is a thin nitro finish and has been gigged Here's close to a AV or AO for a fraction of the price!

The harness also has the push/pull pot (vintage/modern) I forgot to mention.

Updated Photos! Now shows original bridge, harness and pick up...as well as some other parts including retrovibe bridge pick up and x2 ricky sounds neck pick ups.

I did! Sorry, been manic busy. The dust will settle today and I'lll get back with you. Thanks!

Ooooh. That is tasty.

This has been my go to bass for the band I was in (Carnabyarmy.com). I've since moved away from London and winding things down with the band and really don't need the Ric anymore. This has been my go to bass for a few years now and has seen countless gigs over the years and is one fantastic sounding instrument. It's certainly not without it's cosmetic flaws as it's been well played over the years (always a good sign)! It has the perfect relic look that's all naturally acquired. The Good: This bass has the perfect neck profile (in my humble opinion). I've owned new Ric's and can say that this is much more of a shallow C shape rather than a chunky D like the newer 4003 basses. Frets have plenty of life left in them (I alwys use flatwounds). The neck is very stable and since I first acquired the bass in 2018 it hasn't needed a truss adjustment. That being said, the truss rods work as they should with no issues. The Bad: Nothing really. Except maybe to say it's "Badass"? Weight: 7.48 pounds (3.39kg) The Ugly: Well, someone thought it was a great idea to carve "CRUE" in the upper horn of the bass. I tried to source it to Nikki Sixx, but sadly no provenance in that one! I've sinced covered it up with an RAF sticker. Someone also thought it was a great idea to rout out for a jazz pick up when it was still a 4000 series bass. I've since had the ugly jazz rout filled in and added a shallow insert for a neck pick up and converted it to a 4001. The pick ups are an original Ric 4001c64 reissue neck pick up and a vintage reissue Ric bridge pick up tied into a Rickysounds wiring harness. It includes my modified saft shell (yet rigid foam) case that has the interior slightly modified to allow the Ric upper horn to sit in the case. It's a great case as it's lightweight by offers very good protection. I also have a set of retrovive pick ups I'll add in as well as the original bridge and pick up from when it was a 4000 series bass. I also have a black scratch plate and black Ric truss rod cover as well I can throw in. Definetly prefer local pick up or meet up between Hampshire South Coast or possibly West London.

Cool. Thanks for that!
