  1. I found a photo of the bass I tried in GG when I was initially in awe of it.
  2. Photo 5 - are those scratches on the back or distorted reflections?
  3. @24:38 with Steve Hackett is pure Tufnell!!!
  4. Knew the source of those words as soon as I saw them.
  5. Didn't buy anything else as I'd had my heart set on that one. The faded Oly White looks nice.
  6. I was disappointed, because I loved the twist of putting binding on a dot neck. Good luck in finding your bass.
  7. Forget the plate; you have what looks like an authentic yet stripped late '80s Rick 4003.
  8. It probably began life like this 1986 model. Note it also has the 7-screw bridge, which appeared for several years before Rickenbacker bowed to the cork-sniffing purists and reverted to the inferior 5-screw unit.
  9. It does decode as July 1988. I'd wager this bass was pillar box red at one point. Interesting to see the 7-screw tailpiece.
  10. I played the arctic frost white one in GG earlier this year and I was seriously considering purchasing it....until I played it. I really didn't like the sound of it; it seemed weak, unlike any '62 I played. Plus, I think there was some tall fret issue going on. Could have been that bass but it put me off. Do try one first.
  11. If it's a real Rick the plate should read 'Standard' and 'Rick-o-Sound'. That said, Rick jack plates have been known to be swapped out. Let's see some pix, please.
  12. Reminds me of shitty, working-mens' club gigs when I was a teenager getting signed in. I can almost smell the Chicken in a Basket! He's fkd off the electronic bass drum doof that he had and has gone for the Bonzo look now.
  13. We'll never know. That 2nd review on Amazon has to be himself!
  14. So was the month this 'Nocaster' was assembled!
  15. Wal Pro1 Also, see the 'custom' bass immediately underneath it with a Wal neck!
  16. Anyone seen this? I quite like it. Weller Bass
  17. Just heard Mick Rock,who took some iconic photographs from the late 60s onwards has passed on.
  18. Can't be perfectly balanced instruments the male figure is using. Look how low his right shoulder is sitting!
  19. 'Night in Langney' is awesome in its awesomeness. 'Eeeeee.....a night out in Langneeee!'
