Fabulous basses, and good price for one of these. I've got no. #23. Just glad it's not the fretless model, as I'd have somehow had to buy it.....

As the Boss said in Cool Hand Luke; "What we have here is a faliure to communicate....." To be fair to vax2002 he makes some valid points, and this is definitely what the trade euphemistically call a "player's bass" - which is great as alomost everyone on this forum IS a player (rather than collector); I've bought and sold many such basses here. Given an all-original '73 4001 would go around the £2K mark, the rather drastic rule of thumb of re-fin halves value easily makes this worth a grand even allowing for a re-fret, and I'd have this in a heartbeat for asking price. Having modded a 4003FL (now chez Beedster) I know the pickups alone cost would cost £400 - and that's for a reissue toaster whereas this is proper vintage. The horseshoe bridge p/up is a hugely desirable mod; this is not only near CS model spec but a proper 40 year old Ric. Donny's an ace guy to deal with too - had my early '73 chequerboard/plexi FG 4001 off him and loving it.

SOLD subject to payment

El Bumpo...

Putting my Eden 410-XLT up for sale; I had this a couple of years ago to pair with my regular gigging head (an Eden VT.40) as a back-line option, but as I DI live using a small compact cab for stage monitoring it's never once been out of the house! USA-built model, rated 700W, 4 ohm, variable tweeter, in excellent nick with Roqsolid cover (which it's always been in) These are lovely cabs, known for being able to reproduce a huge amount of really tight low end (oo-er...) for a 4 x 10". There are sockets on the bottom for the optional removable castors. Specs here; [url="http://www.eden-electronics.com/products/cabs/indiv/d410xlt.asp"]http://www.eden-elec...div/d410xlt.asp[/url] Looking for £275 collected - no trades, sorry Ta, Greg

Bermp.......

[quote name='billyapple' timestamp='1334508083' post='1616997'] Shaggy, you are in luck. I've got a very special tin of black [s]emulsion[/s] tolex paint. Very rare and exclusive, only half a tin left, should cover most of this lot. Yours for 75 quid. [/quote] Hmmmmm......as long as it's neodynium paint and not conventional, as the latter would push the overall weight above the 35.0000001 Kg threshold at which my spinal column would spontaneously deconstruct......... But bump for a fab rig; I had one of the original '70's 100W heads back in the early 80's - monster tone and cool as fcuk.

Thanks for the info dannybuoy and billyapple - learned something today!! If only it was black.....

Lovely bit of kit!!! At the risk of being thick; how does a sealed cab differ from a standard ported one? (in terms of sound, matching to heads etc)

Well I kind of assumed it's 4u as it looks 4 x taller than the 1u pre-amp........ it's 6 and 3/4" (17.5 cm)tall anyway Did you buy Stacker's v64 Ric then? Tasty........ Edit - now TRADED - thanks

[quote name='Beedster' timestamp='1333916316' post='1608269'] Love the power amp Greg, are you thinking splitting? How many u's is it? Chris [/quote] Hiya Chris - I think it's 4u. These are supposed to be lovely for amplifying DB too, valve warmth but crystal clear. Yup, would consider splitting as the pre-amps are always in demand and I've thought myself about pairing it with a 1u D-class power amp - would rather sell as a rig tho. I'll see what interest there is in these hard times! The inevitable trip to Cambridge coming up in a few weeks too.... The Ric FL your only electic now? Blimey!

Reviving an old FS thread, as I've now downsized to something smaller - albeit less powerful - as my "all valve" amp option. Would also entertain trades for interesting vintage US basses or guitars, money either way.
