Yes - Fasiwoon! And ISTR there was a "Fendre" case as well.

Spoilsport! I think he could’ve styled it out

I bought mine for occasional effects rather than the mainstay controller of all sounds and amp modelling. One thing I did notice was that the thru sound (all switches off) drops in level, but I use it via loop switcher anyway, thereby bypassing (haha!) the issue. (And yes, I did look at its level adjustments and so-on.) That said, I do need to put some time into my pedal setup, as it's not come out of its case since the Bass Bash!

Darn - that was its USP!

That got a LOL from me! 🙂

STOP SHOUTING!

I've never clicked through on his clickbait ads.

FYI, I made this "mandotar"; it's configured like the top 4 strings (pairs) of a 12-string guitar. The bridge is a generic bass one with grooved saddles.

Yes - I've seen folks with their wares at guitar shows and some can look rather good.

Yep - there's no problem mucking about with your own stuff. The disconnect is where folks adopt the "it owes me" stance and even look to add a charge for their own time and/or artistic input. A supplementary issue with this one is that it looks like the change has only been taken so far and then given up on.

It says... sorry, IT SAYS!!! "THIS IS NOT JACO'S ORIGINAL BASS, AND NOT A FENDER RELIC BASS:"

The Cathedral is wonky too!

I've posted a pic my Rickenberger from time-to-time and it made an appearance at the last SE Bass Bash. It was inspired by Darren Redick's, which he had at a previous Bash.

I keep thinking I should get a Ric... Just one or two more should do... (Actually, picture is old and the 5-er on the end went, but then an unexpected '88 jetglo snuck in somewhere in the middle.)

The bit where it says "Started life as a normal Warwick 5 string bass." is the untruth and thereby it is being sold as a counterfeit.

Where?

In the end, if people don't like Rics, then that's their choice! Me, I think they are the best basses ever made. Each to their own...

Whenever I see "defretted" I think "needs a refret". Looks like it sold for £122, which is still viable even after getting the refret done.

"I currently have flatwounds on this which gives a sound very close to a double bass when the impedance is set low." - now ain't that a thing...

Now that's what I call an offset body!

It's a RockBass, right?

I don't buy the Harley angle at all - Harleys are big, heavy, bloated machines, whereas Rics are lean and mean. I think a more appropriate simile for Rics is a Lotus: a bit of a bumpy ride, the odd squeak and rattle, a bit of a reputation for having issues which need fixing, but a great piece of kit and by crikey they are fun! (I am a Ric and Lotus owner...)

I thought it was going to be a 5W one I saw for sale either on ebay or FB.

The Gates Of Doom!
