  1. Is on the wall of the shop or was?
  2. Shaftesbury, Japanese, 70's, Chushin Gakki, thru-neck. Upsides: nice - just about at the top of the tree for fakers, pretty much as near to a real Ric as you can get for factory produced, mono and "Stereo-Sound" outputs, Ric-compatible parts (except tuners). Downsides: the binding can start to come away on the inner edges of the neck cutaways, the tuners could/should really have been better, they are susceptible to neck-lift just like real Rics, why did they put the upper strap button there? I used to want one of these back in the 70s too, but I managed to go straight to a Rickenbacker (which I've still got). This is a CMI sibling I had, next to a real '78 Ric. (Oh, and I bow to @Bassassin's knowledge on most things faker!)
  3. I can't believe it!
  4. I once worked for a company which had an employee sell customer details (it made the news); all of the contract staff were marched off site.
  5. I would strongly recommend never using PayPal F&F unless the person actually is your friend or family. If they insist, just step away. I had it happen in an FB group just this week; someone had something in the UK which I wanted and would have otherwise cost me double from the US after shipping & fees. The seller would not budge on F&F, even when I said I'd cover the fees for G&S, so I didn't go through with it. Just don't pay for goods using F&F.
  6. A Squier Jazz should do the job.
  7. Buenos dias a Buenos Aires!
  8. I wouldn't be up for doing a lap of the M25 (but that's just me and others might be good with it). It was a bit of a shame that the usual place has lost its main hall, though.
  9. Money for nothing - what a sponger!
  10. I used to play my Ric's Treble channel through a Carlsbro Stingray head into a 4x12.
  11. Can't wait for the video of him playing it! 🙂
  12. I think there were people from the bands in this thread, something about owing them money...
  13. Cheers for getting the 3-string retainer to me - I can now play an open-A string on my bass! 🙂
  14. Interesting- I’ve seen a recommendation that this is used with a hi-pass filter as it can go down to 10 Hz; the reason I asked is because of the labels on the Fx loop, which is where one can be placed. 🙂
  15. Cheers - I was wanting to know if it will do dual passive, for a Rickenbacker.
  16. Status Graphite basses were supplied with a Hiscox Lite Flite.
  17. My first bass was a Columbus Jazz - it wasn't bad. (My second was a Rickenbacker, which I've still got!)
  18. ...and another PM (but guessing I'm 3rd in the queue!).
  19. Interesting - so it's a licensed model. I have a Performer (by Spector), which doesn't mention licensed.
  20. Where's @cetera ?
