  1. I’m going to write to the government or the police. That when there is film of a live band - there must be, by law, at least a 5 second shot of the bass including headstock close up. im not unreasonable I don’t expect a caption of what make and year it is, just a proper shot of the bass the amount of time I’ve seen some interesting bass on a video but not seen all of it is criminal yours faithfully Seymour Bass
  2. I get 90% on with it. And it’s fab - sounds amazing. Probably could get used to it. As been noodling for hours and hours on it. But I don’t want to have to think about placement when playing- I know I’ll regret it but jazz is for me.
  3. Holding back the years - Simply Red
  4. f*** John Fox Ass Should’ve probably previewed the footage 🤣🤣🤣
  5. Yes it’s the Energy cab - didn’t realise I’d put wrong title. Yes it’s the 400w super light one.
  6. Decided to keep as just heard back mix of recording we did and woof sounds great - looking into ways to sort the screw sticking into my palm Well even though i've been told i'll get used to it - i'm just not sure when placing my right hand down - the bridge is obv different to anything i've played before, and I just dont want to think about anything when i'm playing - just play - so going back to jazz bass - my guitarist thinks i'm mad, possibly I am but probably you're a Ric person or you're not - i'm probably the latter - shame as it's a stunner and have had lots of admiring comments from pals and other band people. I have put pic with my tag name on so you know it's mine and me at Newcastle City Hall on it's first gig! Sticker will be removed and wont cause any problem. Also using Andy's pics then you can see all the bits etc. Tone is superb - the neck is the best i've ever played - it's 4.1kg / 9.1lb but feels lot less - set up by Andy's tech with TI flats - comes with vintage case that can be seen in pics also mute needs replacing but I have a new one that I’ll include in box - i have box so can ship to UK. Shipping insured inc in price. I've priced it at what i've paid inc shipping. So not looking for offer or trades- as think this is fair.

  8. Markbass MB58R 121 P Bass Cab, 8 Ohm 400w cab in great nick with fitted cover. Like new, great cab with ceramic 12 inch speaker and piezo tweeter with back controls for either pairing with MB combo to make to 500w or to be head with head - just 11kg - silly light but sturdy - comes with aftermarket cover Priced for quick sale - surplus to requirements at mo -no offers Can meet up an hour drive from Clitheroe or pick it up - sorry no postage available
  9. yes the first time i plugged it in was wrong jack but no i always check now esp at practice - first gig with it next week - all working again for now 🙂
  10. 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
  11. 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
  12. 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

  13. 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
  14. EHX Bass Clone bought in summer with box - had velcro on but removed UK postage only or pick up

  15. 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
  16. 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
  17. 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
  18. 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
  19. That’s sounds nice. Good shout. Will check it out.
  20. The bass clone has a blend but maybe I need to mess with it more to get a boost
  21. The Unichorus has flanger too. Might be what I’m after. Thanks
  22. Hi have the MxR80 Di which is great - will have a check of both ta 😎
