Aye; a fix would require a new section of neck to be put in. I offered £120. -
I kindof like them.

Speaking of snapped, ... https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/WARWICK-Streamer-Stage-1-1992-Snapped-Head-Electric-Solid-Bass-Guitar-Faulty/132478606452?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&_trksid=p2060353.m2763.l2649 The repair could be expensive; I made an offer on it, but it was declined.

Well - they've got thicker necks! (And radical new pickups...)
-
Wrong way up - I wonder if Davey Rimmer bought it?
-
Buy and sell it quickly - a FLIPPER!

The string guides on the headstock are something to be admired...

I'd assume that the tension of each string would be similar.

Well, they are a business, but I think it's a response to customer demand. Most people can play a guitar and its strings are closer together, so shouldn't be a problem for a bass (unless you slap & pop, but that's not really what Ric cater for). Incidentally, I've got a SUB 5 and its neck is only 1mm wider at the nut than my 4003.

The bridges and pickups are fine. The bridge could be improved though...
-
I quite like it as it is. I think there was an issue with the neck joint on the previous models, whereby it couldn't cope with a 25% extra load. So they'd have to sort that. There is someone who does 4-5 conversions in the US.
-
Well, I've got Rics and other brand 5-strings, so it'd be logical to have a Ric 5 as well. But they would need to make sure the neck is up to the job.
-
I'd like a Ric 5-string.
-
In seriousness, I'm wondering if they are replacements and they've put in linear pots instead of log (audio) ones.
-
You need them re-calibrated to go to 11.

You mean so people would forget? :-)

Now that is badass!

Why would a Fender be labelled "Designed and backed by Fender"?

Living in Twickenham is expensive.

I've got a G2M and it's a bit hit and miss. I have Roland PK-5A pedals, but a 12-Step would be cool too. For a bass guitar synth, the EH Synth9 is pretty good, if you want its canned voices.
-
Squier neck means that selling it as a "fender bass guitar" is upbranding.
-
Yep - I get it all the time; my searches are "fender -(squire,squier)" and I still have to sort out dross. The problem now is that I don't trust things straight off anymore.
-
Squier being sold as "Fender"...

Looks like the dog has walked over it with mucky paws.
