  1. Still a bloody lovely looking instrument however πŸ‘
  2. There are few basses as good as a good Ric πŸ‘
  3. ...and a few discrepancies between the post on BC and BD's description - the originality of the body, the fingerboard material - guessing BD clarified some of the details hence lower price
  4. Looks like it albeit a whole lot cheaper at BD? The description at BD does no-one any favours
  5. Not convinced I like the music, but I love it that this thread exists πŸ‘
  6. Not managed to do pics yet but..... Badass (grooved saddles/chrome) x 2 Β£60 each (one already spoken for I think) Schaller 3D Β£60 EMG Geezer Precision PUP (creme cover) unused/boxed & circuit Β£75 Wizard Thumper Precision PUP Β£50 Aguilar G4P60 Precision PUP Β£75 DiMarzio P/J set (creme covers) Β£150 (vintage) More tuners that you can poke with a stick but will have to list tomorrow πŸ‘
  7. Yep sorry mate, although to be honest, I still think the maple neck wins out......
  8. I'm afraid the neck sold in the interim (there was already quite a lot of interest), sorry
  9. @Linus27 I've not played this combination before, but it works really rather well. It's hard to say whether it's the board, the neck, the action, or just the way it's working as a mechanical system but the first thing I noticed was that compared to the maple boarded neck on the same body, it brings a really quite beguiling compression to the note (I'm playing unplugged BTW), and I'm quite enjoying it πŸ‘
  10. Wondering if a standard Fender Precision/Jazz neck will fit a PB550, there's some info on the web suggesting the answer is yes but it's a bit vague? Anyone who's done it, or who would be kind enough to measure the neck pocket, it would be great to have a definitive answer πŸ™
  11. Rehearsed it again last night, set of La Bella Deep Talkers, action raised a little and PUP lowered and it was glorious (although PUP is slightly noisy I guess that goes with the SC territory). An advantage of the madly long neck is that I found I can use the very end of it as a thumb rest, and in doing so can play right over the PUP which is my preferred style, so that problem might be solved πŸ‘
  12. We rehearse an entire album for three months, gig it once, and then move on to another album. We never gig an album twice, it's against the rules. Odelay by Beck at the moment, and jeez I feel for the keys player. And the drummer. And the guitarist
  13. If so I'm rehearsing it tonight with the maple FL neck - which is why I've not taken that one apart - so will sort some pics tomorrow πŸ‘
