    Not read the thread above, but will say that after 30-odd years of playing Fenders and at the same time taking far too much heed of the Ric critics, when I finally played one it was a revelation. OK, I was playing flats and achieving a far more Macca tone that that most associate with Rics, but over the years I owned a 4001, two v63s, a 4003FL and a c64, and I still experience pangs of regret at selling the latter two, both of which were among the best instruments I've ever owned (a list that includes several pre-CBS Fenders, 80's Wals, pre-EB 'rays, Modulus Fleas etc). As a percentage, I've played far more dogs by Fender than by Rickenbacker. They're not for everyone for sure, but if I had a pound for every bass player who slags them off on the basis of one poorly set-up example they played in a local guitar shop, I'd be able to buy back my c64

    I've had a few questions re volume. To my ear it's loud. It holds it own against the type of guitarists and drummers I tend to gig with, and in small venues (pubs). It's certainly not a bedroom/living room combo; even at lowest volume it still kicks out some dBs (whilst it looks quite small in the pics, it's got a pretty big frontal area around the 15" speaker). In short, it's totally giggable, and goes VERY loud for a 25w combo, but is not an SVT. Chris

    Never used them but came from reliable seller on BC with an otherwise impeccable PA. £50 seems fair? Can post Tuesday Chris [url="http://s80.photobucket.com/user/Beedster/media/IMG_3285_zpsxzmhw3eq.jpg.html"][/url] [url="http://s80.photobucket.com/user/Beedster/media/IMG_3286_zpskayugzfw.jpg.html"][/url]

    Need to shift some gear so will accept cash offers (no trades). I'm sending some gear via courier on Tuesday so could send this also. Great piece of kit. Chris

    Sold

    Just revisiting this as I may be in need and I'm not sure I ever followed up on any of the above offer (2 years seems a very long time). Particularly interested in Diamonds and Under African Skies, both of which I thought I had down quite well but which both contain a few sections I can't quite figure out Cheers Chris
  9. Beedster
    And again tonight (at least for those of you with Netflix). 'Bill Nye saves the World' series 1 episode 2. If you like and/or use alternative medicine however, don't watch it

    Now all sold

    [quote name='tredders' timestamp='1492444005' post='3280279'] Don't forget that if it needs couriering (is that even a word?!), I'll pick up the cost, just as Chris did with my Steinberger. Chris - just let me know. [/quote] You're a gent mate

    My rule. In the studio, lined, because it wastes everyone's time if I have to re-record poorly intoned parts. On stage, unlined because I've never been able to see the lines anyway, I'm not tempted to look down (my attention is anyway usually elsewhere trying to avoid being hit in the face by the guitarist's headstock or walking off stage etc), and it looks better

    [quote name='silverfoxnik' timestamp='1492449892' post='3280351'] Great for sale thread; that's exactly how it should be done! Beautiful looking bass too.. GLWTS [/quote] +1 Nik, and yet another one of my ex's, and yet another that I would happily have kept had other things - I'd like to say kids but mostly other music gear - not intervened. This is a wonderful bass that cost me £1350 from Bass Direct before I installed the Nordstrands (it came with EMGs........). The board, the heart of any fretless bass, is stunning. I've played one or two fretless Precisions over the years, and for whatever reason always find myself coming back to maple boards (the only bass in my armoury that could be described as a 'keeper' by any means is my old '70s natural P/J with maple board), but of over 20 or so I've played and 10 or so I've owned, this is probably the most versatile both tonally and functionally. At a grand it's a steal. C

    [quote name='T-Bay' timestamp='1492439450' post='3280232'] I sent you a Pm about it so have resent it :-) [/quote] And replied mate, apologies for missing the earlier message Chris
  15. Beedster
    i sold the head and bin but still have the mixer if anyone's interested. Happy to haggle
  16. Beedster
    Lost track of this, sorry folks, I know I received a PM but can't find it so please feel free to PM again and I'll get onto it Cheers Chris

    Original Basschat listing here [url="http://basschat.co.uk/topic/283338-sold-wem-dominator-bass-mk1/page__p__3070219__hl__wem__fromsearch__1#entry3070219"]http://basschat.co.u..._1#entry3070219[/url] I'm having to move on some stuff from the studio as, despite what I was told when I had it built, the laws of physics do still apply, and apparently I can't fit more gear inside that there is space in which to fit it. So, we're starting a project soon that will require more space and more - if smaller and more specialised - gear, hence I need this gone sharpish. This is a glorious amp, rich creamy tone and loud as f**k. This unit personifies the 'old watts are better than new watts' idea. OK, it ain't pretty, but then neither am I (or is my bass playing) so we got along just fine (having said that it's in very very good cosmetic and functional condition). The price is ludicrous for such a good amp and around £150 less than I paid. Put this alongside a B-15 and you really won't notice a whole lot of difference. I'll be sorry to see it go but not it gone sharpish (and collected from Canterbury), hence the price. Will add pics later, pics in the earlier thread should do the trick FTB. Cheers Chris

    Sold to a very nice gentleman and a good player who I imagine will make very good use of it C

    [quote name='tredders' timestamp='1489330956' post='3256072'] That's a very cool thing to do, Chris. If someone deserving isn't able to collect this, I'm happy to pickup the cost of the courier. As you said previously, I don't see why you should get all the glory [/quote] Ha ha, good man Mark, many thanks. This could go on and on! I've had a couple of PMs from folks saying they'd like to have it as a raffle prize at upcoming bashes, but it worries me that on that basis it could end up only pulling in a few quid, and going to a BCer who'll probably end up selling it here again! To be honest I'd prefer it to go directly to a good cause rather than indirectly, I just like the idea of a needly kid somewhere having the bass, hope that makes sense? C

    [quote name='cardinaljay' timestamp='1489349291' post='3256272'] That's the bass. It was listed on eBay via my local shop, I bid the bass up and inadvertently "won" it. Good job too, as it's worth what I'm asking for it, in my opinion. [/quote] Doesn't seem like the eBay marketplace agreed re the price though? And you bid the bass up? Nice.......

    And whilst it's a pretty big 3/4, next to the size of bass I prefer to play these days..... [URL=http://s80.photobucket.com/user/Beedster/media/IMG_2506_zpst8vnwcqe.jpg.html][IMG]http://i80.photobucket.com/albums/j199/Beedster/IMG_2506_zpst8vnwcqe.jpg[/IMG][/URL]
