    I'd have preferred some monolithic riffage to that aimless tinny fret masturbation

    Ah, though this thread was about a newbie. Dread to think what monstrosities live in that museum then. And yes, otherwise the 4005 is about as desirable a bass as it gets for me.

    And man, that is one stupidly ugly headstock, and I LOVE Rics. Is RH setting out to destroy the business?

    That has to be the least inspiring video I have ever seen of a bass, everything from the back office setting through the poor sound quality and technique through to his apparent disinterest, all make for nothing more than a strong reinforcement of what a lot of bassists think of Rics, and frankly what a lot of guitarists think of bassists :)

    Yep, we go looking at new basses, amps and cabs, when a different set of strings might be all that's required

    The logic is fine, in practice it makes very little difference having discrete tone controls, and you're probably better off with a Jazz Bass harness, one less thing to go wrong
  7. Beedster
    I'm giving it serious thought mate

    Might have to buy the Berg
  9. Beedster
    I'm going to keep it
  10. Beedster
    Hell, that's a great video
  11. Beedster
    Keep me posted Dan

    Precision with rounds probably gets the best out of it to be honest, Precision with flats comes a pretty close second place. Having said that, it sounds pretty awesome whatever I put through it.

    I recall a similar comment tin the manual for my old Mesa power amp. I guess they're talking to guitarists with stereo FX, but I briefly considered a 2x300w all-tube living room hifi. That would certainly have drowned out the neighbour's dog. And everything else for about 5-miles

    100 or 200 Dan?
  15. Beedster
    Loved the playability of both the SLB-100 and 200, but whilst I could get them to sound OK recorded, I could never get them to sound like a DB live. I'd love to give one of these babies a go. However, I'm guessing the USA price point is indicative of it likely costing about the equivalent numbers in pounds, which means I'm probably not going to
  16. Beedster
    Plus the covers cost a small fortune

    ....and unless there's any offers very soon........

    Have now sorted my vintage Precision needs so am considering keeping this to be honest

    I find most private sellers to be far more efficient than music shops theses days. I’ve had two really crappy experiences with very well known bass shops, both of which came down to their simply not being bothered to do their job of selling the basses they advertised for sale. Pisses me off because I go out of my way to keep real - as opposed to online only - shops in business, but get punished for doing so too often.

    Worth pointing out that this is USA built. The £900 for the equivalent head Nik mentions above would get you a Far East produced amp. In my experience, the older USA gear is better.
  21. Beedster
    Should explain that! When I sold this, I assumed Nik and this rig would live happily ever after!
  22. Beedster
    Yes, it’s a glorious rig, really glorious
  23. Beedster
    Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
  24. Beedster
    It's close enough mate, as I said earlier in this thread, it's not the notes you play that matter, it's the way you play whatever notes you play
  25. Beedster
    Far worse mate, far worse
