  1. I think they've got 38 products at the moment, so 2 to go?
  2. What about the knobs and jack plate? 🙂
  3. OK, so now there's a mission to find it (was it TV, an interview, an album?).
  4. Well, that may be a fact, but the product features include penetrating and that's what it was commony known as. 🙂
  5. That's a ridiculous price for something which has been maimed in such a way! Mind you, I bought this lovely "Fender" at a car boot some years ago... (I still haven't got the refin done.)
  6. There was a can of WD-40 contact cleaner in the goody bag at the Screwfix Show last year. I don't think I've used it; I've still got a half-full Maplin one. It is one of a range of WD-40 products, but the name has tended to be a bit Hooverised to refer to the original penetrating oil. https://www.wd40.com/products/ (Back in the day, the bass guitar used to be called the The Fender Bass.)
  7. Hmmm - could that go on a Ric copy project of mine...
  8. My main strap is one I had made for me by a leatherworker; it's a non-adjustable strip of leather made to my specified length with a Straplock at each end.
  9. The unattributed "owned by", which the seller admitted was tenuous: "The owner of the boat said he bought the boat off a member of the Womble and these were left on the boat"
  10. Not sure it's a bargain - several have sold for that sort of money. https://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_nkw=sterling+ray34&_sacat=0&rt=nc&LH_Sold=1&LH_Complete=1 There are a few offered at significantly higher prices, in the hope of people not twigging that Sterling is MM's equivalent brand to Fender's Squier.
  11. Rare = expensive (Whether or not it's worth it!) OTOH, new ones are £600! https://www.rosetti.co.uk/rickenbacker-vintage-reissue-case-4000-bass-series
  12. I've seen AI-generated descriptions in watch for sale ads too.
  13. I've seen that one for sale a few times - too rich for me, though.
  14. That description is utterly ridiculous. It's a shame the AI can't help them out by reading the headstock on this one... https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/116000116589
  15. Cheapened? Those Squier Broncos are sub-£100 instrumants!
  16. I have a Flyte bass; I took it to the Bass Bash (you were in the room with it @TheGreek). That one now makes it 4 I have seen. I wouldn't mind a Riverhead too!
  17. Press on the 1st and top fret and there should be a business card's gap at the 12th fret. String height is as low as it'll go without choking the notes!
  18. How strange - just yesterday I was in a thread about another brand of bass which people say is difficult to play and I said: "I think if you've played a Jazz all your life and then swap to another brand (Warwick, Ric, etc.) it may seem odd, but that's down to closed minds rather than issues with the instruments themselves; in extremis, some folks find it odd to go from a Jazz to a Precision and in the olde days there was a thing of putting Jazz necks on Precisions."
  19. The wing separation suggests there's more to it.
