    If you've got to ask, you can't afford it... 🙂

    They are a bit (erm) radical, aren't they? But in the same breath there are people who say that Ric don't innovate, so I guess they can't win!
  3. prowla
    That's a plus - why would you sell a Ric?

    Harry Enfield?

    I see you've popped over to the fakers group. 🙂 My not-dissimilar faker (black not fg, though).

    @Bassassin speak honto.

    Stereo Sound on jack plate, thru-neck, but gap on binding is narrower than a real Ric, surprisingly no control knob position dots on pickguard (is it a replacement pickguard?), typical generic Japanese tuners, round holes in tailpiece string feeds, screw-through strap buttons.

    I had a Carlsbro Stingray back in the day; sounds came out of it, but otherwise it had no redeeming features.

    Billy Sheehan had an EB0 pickup in the neck position on a P.

    The best thing about it is the logo on the headstock. That pickup cutout is pretty grim.

    Yep, dunno why people do fretless conversions.

    It looks a nice bass.

    I've already got a TS9, a Boss SD, and a Joyo clone, otherwise I would've had this!

    The tuners are preciousssss, though.

    So, are the cheap ones going to be Sadwicks?

    Plus shipping from Germany seems to be more expensive than from the US & China.

    It looks like an open and shut case.

    Funnily enough, I painted the base of my pooped treble pickup black too, after I mounted whatever pickup it was onto it. The other option would've been to fit a Hipshot (or Ric) bridge and keep its original lifted one for posterity.
  21. prowla
    I was wondering about that!

    The problem was that the bobbin's plastic degraded and became brittle and just broke up; I think the pickup was straight - that may be just the photo. I checked my notes and it was a Greco (proper Ric-style) pickup I put in it, which I got on the fakers group 🙂 .

    My Mat's treble pickup disintegrated on me. (I posted this in the FB fakers group too.) I used the base to mount another pickup on, but I think I may have sold the bass on with a real Ric pickup in it.
  24. prowla
    Re. microphonic - is it both pickups that do that? Maybe that's why RIC shifted to using a plastic base for the treble pickup (either that or they used up their stock of aluminium sheeting).

    There’s a great video of the three of them sitting down over dinner and drinks.
