[quote name='4000' post='329485' date='Nov 14 2008, 11:39 PM']Thanks Nik. Here's another of the 4000 with my other Rics: The 4000 has been my main gigging bass for the past few years. However after last night (and due to other rather more nebulous factors) I'm actually thinking of selling it. It's a great bass, very aggressive sounding; far more so than my 4001s. Imagine if JJ Burnel played a Ric and you're about there. I found last night that for the first time in years I needed the addition of that deep, mellifluous neck pickup sound, so 2/3 of the way through the gig I switched to the CS. I must be getting old! It does indeed look like I'm hanging on for dear life! I think I was actually doing that strumming/damping percussive thing that Leigh does on such songs as C30 and GSBT; I utilise it on a couple of our songs (although we're nothing at all like BWW).[/quote] Gorgeous trio of Rics! I used to have one when I was a kid (should never have sold it ) and have always found them the fastest necks to play. I know what you mean about needing that extra depth from the neck pick up; it's why I stopped using a Musicman Sub 5 a year or so ago. I think you'd regret it if you sold it though?? That Leigh strumming/damping effect is a great sound isn't it.. I use it occasionally and it drives our keyboard player mad as it sends the bass level through the PA way too high.. Sorry for going off topic.

[quote name='4000' post='329073' date='Nov 14 2008, 01:21 PM']We did a charity gig last night with a bunch of other bands. We're really short of recent gigging experience (only 3 in 2 or so years due to all sorts of factors) so we weren't at our best, and on a personal level I was very poor, nerves having got the better of me. Still, the event was a success and that's what matters. Here's me with my '73 Ric 4000..... [/quote] Nice one Shaun! Lovely looking bass, that Ric... got any more photos of it? You do look a bit like you're hanging onto it for dear life which reminds me of exactly how I felt when i joined the band i'm in now, as I hadn't gigged for 12 years before that! So well done for getting through it

This thread is a brilliant example of what Basschat is all about! Fantastic support from one and all which is great to see..

[quote name='Merton' post='326694' date='Nov 11 2008, 12:59 PM']So that's where it went! [/quote] Yep.. to get a bit more playing time than I gave it hopefully Mert!

Gorgeous bass!!

That's enormous!!!

Hi Folks, Just had the pleasure of selling my Status Groove 5 to Stu who's a great person to deal with! It was a really easy and straightforward transaction so am happy to recommend him highly to the rest of Basschat community.... Thanks Stu; hope you enjoy the bass! Cheers Nik

..Just been 'Beedstered' again.. having purchased a very handy '80s box of tricks from him and all went very well as per usual with Chris! He should of course by now be on Mastermind with 'The Basschat For Sale Forum' as his specialist subject which he would undoubtedly get maximum points for Thanks again Chris!

I wonder if I can get some original control knobs for my Pro IIE..?[/b][/i] Hey Rich - I still have one last set (5) of PROIIe knobs @ £20.00 plus any international postage I will set up a stock line for you at www.harrowaudio.com then search on WAL PARTS to buy Chris[/font][/quote] Hey Chris Wow - is that really the LAST set?? I was thinking of getting some for my Pro2e.. Great news about Paul getting to this stage by the way, but i think it needs to be said Chris that Wal owners and potential new Wal customers owe you a huge debt of thanks for helping bring this about.. So thanks a lot!! Cheers Nik

[quote name='Merton' post='326031' date='Nov 10 2008, 04:02 PM']Sounds good - could keep costs lower and allow for more charidee money possibly? Indeedy, but only an excellent result becasue of you generous lot who came and paid and made it a brilliant day![/quote] +1

Very cool! Interesting look.. I could imagine them being played by a band in the film 'Barbarella', or something similarly retro-futuristic like that...

Very nice trio! I have a '97 Fender Jazz 5 Deluxe and it's a great sounding bass.. Doesn't get too much of a look in at gigs as I tend to use the Roscoe Beck more, but when I have used it, it's been really good..

[quote name='steve-norris' post='325019' date='Nov 8 2008, 10:15 PM']I do chill out playing bass, but with kids ( one 4 year old and another due in Feb ) it's becoming harder to fit in anything regular, one of the reasons i shelved a new band, i knew i would not be able to give it the time. When i do get to play it's great, I forget every thing for a short time. For me the golden time is when everyone is out (rarely) and i can ditch the headphones and accusations of being anti social and just go for it.[/quote] +1

[quote name='phil_the_bassist' post='324895' date='Nov 8 2008, 05:59 PM']sounds like a plan! BTW, who won the bass?[/quote] Mike257 is the lucky recipient...
