Saw a pic of both this and the pink one over on TB. To me, they both look incredibly cheap. These are 2k+ instruments. I loved a comment on TB, a poster suggested that the pink one would look more at home with a Hello Kitty logo. I think he's got a point!

The Bass Gallery always have some cracking Rics, well under new prices.

Looks great, only about an hour from me. Hopefully get the band in the studio for a new EP this year - just the rates that scared me [s]a bit[/s] a hell of a lot!

I bought a wonderful used one on here from Basskit Case (Mike). First Jazz in ages I've actually liked - the feel, the tone.....I've had a few US Standards, and TBH, I like these far more!

Bought Mike's Flea J-bass - an as-new relic! Super transaction - Mike kept me informed at every turn, and we did the deal in great time. Deal with confidence, thanks again Mike!

Thanks DD - I'll give a good bend before using it to see how tough it is. You didn't buy yours from this place did you, the one I linked in the first post? Place seems to have good FB for their products, so I hope it's not a lemon. Only just under £3 all in, so it's not a disaster if so, just annoying!

Fab, thanks Roger - appreciated.

I've been a bit inactive on here for a bit - but still read with interest every day... ....and I've been a member since 2008! Unbelievable! Many happy returns to ol' BC!

I was looking for a simple, plain neck plate for a Jazz. Found these on eBay - [url="http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/New-Chrome-Guitar-Bass-Neck-Plate-fits-Fender-Squier-Strat-Stratocaster-SECO-/172180885701?hash=item2816c7d0c5:g:G~cAAOSw2GlXHzjg"]http://www.ebay.co.u...~cAAOSw2GlXHzjg[/url] I've not got one to measure against to see they would fit. Can anyone help?

Sold my US Precision (what else?) to Lozz, colour was black/maple/black (what else!!) A true gent to deal with - payment was instantaneous, transaction super-smooth. Bass couldn't have gone to a nicer guy. Thanks Lozz!

Lemmy.

One of my faves, too. Very sad loss.

[quote name='dannybuoy' timestamp='1486320499' post='3230882'] Surprised to see not one song from 13! [/quote] Exactly! For a farewell gig, it's shame they seem to admit that it's all about the first 3 albums. As I said, I don't think it is. Far better band than that.

+1 again for OBBM. Dave's a great man to deal with, and his cables are just the best.

Setlist for final show is on the NME site - [url="http://www.nme.com/news/music/black-sabbath-last-ever-show-birmingham-watch-1967589"]http://www.nme.com/n...m-watch-1967589[/url] I've always had time for the Ozzy and RJD albums, some great stuff. I'd have found the tracks chosen a bit disappointing - for a final show. A bit like after all those years of playing, it comes across like admitting that it all comes down to the first 3 albums (with a couple of exceptions) - which I don't believe it does. Wouldn't expect Ozzy to sing Ronnie's tracks, but even for their original albums, it's all a bit obvious. .....and then there's the Bill Ward thing.......

Sorry - posted in error, please delete!

Just saw this on the NME site. Totally shocked and saddened. A truly influential bassist. Been rightly discussed on here many times over.....a massive loss. RIP JW.

Just spotted it's a 4001S, with a different pickup in the neck position.

There's an OGWT clip with Barry playing a Ric copy....An Ibanez IIRC. They played 'Definitive Gaze'. Had no idea that he played a real one! Love to know which session that was. I had a chat with their bass tech (via MySpace...That's how long ago) on the Magazine reformation tour, and he was going to ask Barry which basses he played on which albums, but never got an answer! I'm personally not sure what he used....Given the effects, production, and live shots, who knows? He sounded awesome whatever!
