    Beautiful P, and [i]very[/i] tempting...

    I was all ready to buy a couple of these when I noticed the horn is always on.
  3. Cosmo Valdemar
    My word... Can they run at 8ohm?

    [quote name='Rick's Fine '52' timestamp='1395441186' post='2402640'] Can someone explain to me why this is still here?? Best value bass on here by a country mile......shouldn't need a bump, but you're getting one anyway! [/quote] Very nice of you to say so! It is fantastic, but of course I have to say that... I would cheerfully entertain trade offers involving lightweight heads/cabs or Yamaha BB basses...

    I once found an immaculate DeArmond Starfire in a junk shop. Do I regret selling it? Yes, yes I do. Congratulations on a great find!

    Beautiful! Don't be afraid of posting though. Plenty of guides on here to assist you.

    [quote name='Beedster' timestamp='1395438803' post='2402606'] All joking aside, it's not just about ergonomics with Rics, the QC and variability is shocking in an instrument in this price range, way more so than with Fender, EBMM etc. I love my 4001 but I would never again buy a Ric without playing it for a good few hours. They're lovely when they get it right, shocking when they don't. [/quote] Sad but true.

    Beautiful. The nut narrowness frightens me though.

    ... Bump

    I need a backup for my 424x, I wonder if this would be up to the job?
  13. Cosmo Valdemar
    Have you tried adjusting the EQ on the amp? A little low mid boost can work wonders. Maybe the amp just isn't up to the job. What wattage is it?

    How much for the Leeds pedal? Does it come with the original tin?
  15. Cosmo Valdemar
    Let me know if you change your mind about shipping...
  16. Cosmo Valdemar
    Oh, bump.

    I played one at the LBGS and it was fantastic. I'm continually amazed by these Cort basses. I'm embarrassed to admit I ignored them for so long. Sadly the neck on the Jeff Berlin was a bit narrow for me, but it was a beautiful bass in looks, feel and tone. Sheer quality.

    Buy a handful of different sizes and shapes from the shop, see which one feels comfy. I've tried loads and find I'm always happiest with the standard shape, nice and heavy with just a tiny bit of give. Then study the masters - Chris Squire and Colin Hodgkinson.

    [quote name='warwickhunt' timestamp='1394872601' post='2396106'] Why demo the different characteristics of a sliding pup system and then change your right hand picking/plucking style to match? I know that the front 'mudbucker' position will likely sound dubbier but there's no need to play it thumb mute style and then slide to back pup and suddenly start playing finger parping style... in the middle, change to a different right hand finger style. Play them all the same finger style ya twonk Andy then we can hear what the difference is! [size=4] [/size] [/quote] This!

    Stunning.
  21. Cosmo Valdemar
    At least it doesn't have the gaping cavity that Guy Pratt's did! This looks much better.
  22. Cosmo Valdemar
    I love these. Whereabouts are you?

    [quote name='3below' timestamp='1394660935' post='2393893'] As far as I know this isRic - remember him discussing Ric vs P bass and effect on playing style. Saw him using Ric with Acoustic 370 Malvern Wintergardens 1970s. The album is one of my all time favourites - Vagabonds of western world. Inspired me to buy a Ric in the late 70s.

WEIRD.
