  2. Bought from fellow BCer but ended upselling the Ric - it did however, make the Ric way more usable - easy intonation, locking saddles, palm muting, better sustain. please note the screws that came with it, I’m not certain are original as one head snapped off leaving in the Ric - which to be honest cost cash in the sale (probably could’ve got someone to take it out) so use the original Ric screws or get some better quality from Screwfix Postage £8 or collect

    NBD 72 P

    Went to rescue this from a weekend in a DHL warehouse, bright and early. 1972 P was lake placid blue but stripped with Brazilian rosewood and vintage C neck on a B nut width. Strung with La Bella’s - had tort pick guard but came with the original mint guard which went on straight away. Well after letting it warm up and played for an hour. The search is over this is my bass now. I got leant a 79 P, nine years ago and it was love but the guy just wouldn’t sell (he rarely plays it as he’s a guitarist) as he’d had it new, I tried quite a few times. This is bass is lighter and every bit as good as my memory of it. The vintage C neck isn’t chunky but lovely roundness and whoever sanded and sealed this has done an awesome job. So resonant Put the covers in from an old late 80s P which was one that I had chasing the 79 vibe. Just for fun - taken off now as I prefer TI flats and I have a set ready but for today I’m enjoying the La Bella’s but they’re a heavier gauge and stiffer than I like. Happy days
  6. As great as they are it's not for me and I had the chance to get a refinished strpped to natural 72 P think John Deacon (complete sucker for natural basses esp satin feel) So 'ere no messin' abaht - rock bottom price £2400 got offered £2200 off one of the well know UK bass shops but too much off a loss - so can just about live with dropping £450 in two months for this amazing Ric - Mr Mojo Risin and all that Bought from Andy Baxter in Dec to scratch the Ric itch - I really didnt like the standard Ric bridge - so got a hipshot one from BCer here - and much much better to play and can palm mute without having a physics degree to work out break angles and can intonate it easily, i have the action pretty low as I dont really dig in but this locking bridge is easy to raise too- UPDATE the original bridge is back on back on for sale and include hipshot - also will include new foam mute from Ricky Sounds that needs putting on if you want. Full disclosure putting the old bridge back on one of the hipshot screws lost its head - which is 1 of 3 under bridge so cant see it and all still works - cost well reflected in price - easy fix if you have the tool - i dont and dont want to risk messing up the wood. Weight was 9.1lbs - think hipshot has made it more 9.5lbs but it doesnt feel it as balances real nice - nut is 40mm - the neck is the best ive played - i dont know what profile it is apart from it's great. Buckle rash on back and the odd ding here for a 41 year old bass and there but nothing that takes away from playing Grab a chunk of Ric gold for much less than the 3K+ you see these got for. Come play it in Clitheroe - happy to drive about 40 miles in any direction - or can post but post will have to be insured about £50 - comes with vintage case which is a snug fit, see in pics or for extra £50 can throw in bigger more roomy hard case. Cheers for looking - get in touch if you need to know anything.

  8. this is what i'm talking about - i'm guessing Serek Grand or Lincoln maybe? stop twirling more focussing on bass!
  9. totally - especially fake bass face - if you have time to look like your having a stroke you're not serving the song but yourself (let's see how that can of worms goes down haha) looking at you League haha (top bassist) but sorry bass face really annoys me - i just look annoyed i've been told but that's what i always look like
  10. Yes!
