1. It looks right to me, based on the nut slots; of course, the angle of the photo makes it appear off. 2. Yes, crikey! Can you tune that?

My '78 does and my '72 has a toggle switch.

I've been doing a bit more work on it today...

Yes; it's important that a man gets his priorities right!

I've decided mine is going to have the black SD one, possibly today...

I did work down the pit, though I already had my first Ric.

Thanks - that's my current project; it's probably going to get the SD & black surround off the '72 fireglo (which I'm reverting to stock). The pickguard was a bit crooked in the picture, as it is a 2-part one and was only held on with two screws and a bit of tape, just to see what it looked like vs. a white one and a brass one (from @Beedster). With the pair of humbuckers I'll be putting on a Freeway 6-position switch. I do have an issue to resolve first, though, as the bridge won't go low enough just now.

I retro-fitted one to my '78.

Masochist to sadist: Please beat me. Sadist to masochist: No...

Oops - I forgot a couple of them...

Here y'go...

Ric prices are very variable at the moment; I bought a jetglo 2010 4003 for £1k last month.

Yep - I was chatting with the new purchaser (they just outbid me); it was from the same seller I bought my midnight blue Laredo from too!

You have to tell it like your experience. The rules are that the seller pays return postage, which is a bit of a ballbreaker if the item is mis-described. I once complained to ebay about that and they covered my postage as a gesture... In my case, it was as described and I collected (I sometimes let my purchases plan my day out for me), so I knew what I was getting.

Darn - that's a shame.

Cool - you outbid me; I put in a speculative bid even though I don't really need an 8th Ric. Mine was the one with the Zero-Mod fitted and I've no complaints; I went and collected personally.

Dodgy?

By jove - it's downside up!

Looks like she's having a clearout; I bought a Rickenbacker from her last year (and she had another of them which finished yesterday).

The bass is new and has over £2000 of free custom options.

Well, it took Chris a month to get a few Rickenbacker parts to me. But I got it today and when I opened the package he'd put in a copy of Paul Boyer's book too, by way of apology for the delay. Apology accepted!!!! 🙂

Well, it's true that someone has to turn up the volume. I recall someone on the Markbass stand cranking it up stupidly loud to play stuff; I happened across his website a few months back and was surprised to see they he can actually play! But I don't think the headphones are the answer - I tried a Dingwall through some and it was meaningless. Maybe all amps should have to face the wall?

The one I went to, I was in pain at some points.
