Thank you Mike! … On hold - ball’s on my corner I guess, will have to seat down and crunch some man maths.

Hey Nik! they are. I’ll post them Wednesday if it’s okay, I’m in Paris at the moment! DM me and we can sort @silverfoxnik, marking them as pending. Ander.

As title, postage included.

Interesting. I’ve been between P’s and Stingrays most of my time - the Cruz teal special was my first ‘prrrroper’ bass in this colour so it’s got sorta sentimental value… and this P is just lush Motown vintage in nitro, I’ll have it relic’d by Dan Giles etc and it’s gonna be epic, as close to a Custom Shop as one can do. I got the Ric by chance, decided to give it a try and change to find what’s all about… I’ve fallen in love with how great it plays, the setup I got and the crowning of frets etc made it my best playing bass currently. I want to take the other two to the same luthier for sure… … and since I’m always between Ps and Rays and these are special, feels like the Ric should be the one to go, but for my punk rock band is just sublime too, folk loved it at the studio too and can’t wait to here the mix…! closer and closer to withdrawing and letting it gain value, sell if I really need to in some time.

This gentleman is talking a lot of sense! Things like Rics are appreciating at an amazing rate. Dang he is indeed, agreed! @JonesyI’m gonna be running after you for advice once the baby is here 🤪 Tbh didn’t even know they’re gaining value - having said that, the price of new gear is ridic these days, just saw them for 2.8k recently IIRC. thank you so much David! Funny and loving to see how this is being so much about the news rather than just the Ruby red! Ander.

thank you buddy! In a sea of ‘keep it / makes sense to sell / don’t do it’ this seems very solid advise and something I had NOT considered. it really is a truly unique instrument, and I’ve gotten to that stage where I love all my basses and it’s near impossible to get rid of either (withdrew the P recently). I could do the extra cash defo, have some credit cards etc but tbh I am not desperate. Could wait a bit, enjoy it (used it live and they all loved it in the studio too, lots) and if bad comes to worse sell it for more - I’m careful with my gear so I’ll keep it well. Hmmm… food for thought! Thank you and trust the fam is well your end too!

Ah man it left to @Folkesy but of course now I miss it - that’s me in a nutshell.

Yup, I’ve played this - feels closer to a tube’d up Capo functionality wise than the noble. Noble is perfect at that one thing, but this is super versatile.

Thank you guys! Yes, basses come and go, the buggers stay forever 😂 I am doubting myself everytime I play this bass trust me, it just plays absolutely perfect - I have to take my other two to Robbie since the work on this bass is making them jealous I think 🤣 Trust your families are great ❤️

Thank you so very much Lee, that is a lovely post! Yes indeed, excited for all the headaches and joys coming haha!

haha I wish! This is from Southsea Sound, the studio where we’ve recorded our last EP…! I’ll pass your comments to Tim 😉

Thank you my friend! Already looking whether I need another bassist in the house or a drummer to play along with

Lil Fella and Lo Fi Junky gone. Keeping the compressor here but odds are I’ll keep it for the time being until I find a JHS Pulp n Peel v4. no other trades are if interest, thanks! Ander.

@Bigwan it really is fantastic and solidly built! I could end up keeping it, but just since I’m exploring a compressor with an OD/gain circuit now to push the upcoming Jad Freer Capo… may very well keep if the Capo has enough gain! Ander.
