    Had my first Ric-o-scare last night the bass pick up wouldnt be selected with the switch - when i first got it - the jack connection was a tad lose so took scratchplate out and bent it back in and fine - but the switch was a bit clicky so i sprayed a tiny blast of contact cleaner on it - then the bass side started to stick - then last night wouldnt work - got a gig at City Hall Newcastle next Friday - so panic set in a tad - anyway a million people online have said dont use contact cleaner on switches - so looked at solutions and could see a contact on the each side of the switch -so very lightly bent the connections in - very very slight i must stress - still no bass pup so going to admit defeat - i put the scratchplate back on making sure the bass pup wire was in the channel and as if by magic, it's now all working - the mute needs replacing and even though i'm happy tinkering with Fenders - i'm going to take it to Northwest Guitars after next gig for a full on set up and i dont want to mess it up I guess this is the quirks of owning a Ric that i keep reading about? Still it plays like a dream and i'm more than happy to bow to the quirks

    Say hello to Blondie boys. My first Ric and absolutely loving it. Got from Andy Baxter’s showroom today. Wow has he got some good stuff. I bought a 66 Mustang off him some years back, so you know it’s quality gear. After reading all the bad stuff as well as the good stuff, seems like there’s 2 camps - lovers and haters. Well mama put me in the former- ok the E sting intonation is slightly out but set up at Andy’s with TI flats for me and it’s superb. What a neck. I was going to go for the new 4003 but hard to find stock and for similar money got this one. much mojo, much to love - I like all the sounds so far and needs mute replacing, which I have on order with Ricky Sounds and pal is going to help me fit it. He’s got 2 Ric’s, and he convinced me to get an old one with lower output- just as well got the extra cab for my cmd121 Markbass then -he’s got one of Paul Gray’s old Rics, an awesome Autumnglo satin finish rehearsal on Friday - woof

    Just had an attack of the vapours and ordered a vintage bass - i cant help it, was drooling over it and the devil on my shoulder said, go on you deserve this and you're getting regular gigs, go on. Anyway the angel on my other shoulder says I can't have such an ace bass as a back up, so funds needed. Yamaha BBP34 bought new this year- as played by Vincen Garcia (makes you sick doesn't he - amazing) Corey McCormick, Jack Gibson, and others who choose Yamaha BB's like Hooky and Abraham Laboriel. My action is super low with TI flats and they go with this bass like a dream.- I can throw in the original strings that havent been played - The range of tone is stellar - by far the best bass i have had the pleasure to own for a while - The bottom line is, I would love to keep it but can't afford both at the moment and it's far far far too good to be playing second bass on stage. If you've played BBs then you know how good they are, if you haven't then don't sleep on these they are killer. So easy to play with a slim satin feel neck - absolutely no fret ends, slightly rounded off feel. Dark rosewood baord. A stunning old sunburst finish. in house pickups - give neck a great P sound and neck pickup gives the grunt - together though, thats where this bass absolutely shines. Comes with Yamaha black Tolex locakable case that fits it like a glove - a little wallet with person who made it in Japan's signature and allen keys etc. 9.lb in weight but on doesnt feel it - as it's got a great distribution of weight. Can drive hourish NorthWest West Yorkshire or £40 insured delivery to UK - happy for you to come try it in Clitheroe Can be heard on this track but not seen, it's meaty, it's growly and it's like having a chaet code for playing - price is rock solid peeps as losing a chunk to move on - fair price for a superb bass

    Hope you can find something to ease the pain - I have this bass too with TI flats and every time I play it, it makes me smile. Great for a backup - definitely a gigging bass - well worth £300. GLWTS

    Been trying out the SCF this morning and yes - this is what i'm looking for - nice subtle chorus - noiseless and no level difference once i dialed in the level - flanger will be useable for me, even pitch might come in handy - thanks for the tip and link - rehearsals thursday but already on my board and gig on saturday - chorus was the only thing wasn't 100% with - was alright but not for me
  13. Duroc17
    For that price worth a go - heard they’re pretty noiseless - I only use chorus quite subtly- but there’s one song that uses a heavy flanger so be good to have options. Have ordered it from Anderson’s. Thanks for the tip dude

    Ah good to hear. This cost of living going up hasn’t been easy - the money I’d spend on basses going to gas giants - the wrong type of GAS! At first when I got the 34 - I felt it was a bit soulless, I didn’t love it like other basses but then rehearsals and a couple of gigs later, it has really grown on me. It’s like owning a fine tool, every bit has been thought about and engineered- it made going back to my other basses a bit pointless glad you can keep yours - and have a merrier Christmas
  15. Duroc17
    I have the 4 string and they are fab basses - so easy to play like having a cheat code. Just really well made. GLWTS Hope times get better soon

    That’s sounds nice. Good shout. Will check it out.
