  1. As ever with old Precisions, it might really help your sale if you strip it down and take good close ups of neck heel, neck pocket, pots, back of scratch plate, bottom of pick ups. Just trying to be helpful. £1600 is not a huge amount for a bass of this kind BUT it's a lot of money for most folk to find so they will most likely want to be as sure as they can be. GLWTS

  3. [quote name='matski' timestamp='1439813073' post='2845905'] Glad to see this thread is doing well! Question for guys who own Rics with the toaster/horseshoe pickups (V63, C64, CS sig, C64S macca sig) - is your horseshoe pickup cover magnetic? I'm asking as my 4003s has this pup configuration and the horsey cover IS magnetic - but I know this is pretty unusual and can't find out any info as to why mine is... [/quote] I didn't know they did a 4003s with horse shoe so it may be a later modification by a previous owner? I do think they are magnetic, as unlike the "normal" bridge cover the horse shoe wrap around is metal. Both the above comments are guesses, might be worth having a look on RickResource?
  4. Sorry guys, bit of a day. Thanks Mike, received and yours (and all other) pm's finally replied. Sold thank 'ee
  5. Pretty much on hold from last night. These basses very rarely hang around long. Possibly because they have a really good rep.
  6. Get into Newcastle and try one Tom. Only thing is, this being one of the earlier ones it's quite light. Reputedly after the first runs they put on a little weight. On hold thanks. If it doesn't happen I will get back in touch folks. Many thanks to all.
  7. Cheers Mr. Valdemar, splendid bass indeed and reluctant sale, but I just can't miss the chance I've been given. Had a couple of clever dickies on FB have a pop at the price "for a Mex". I know we don't talk price, but it's out at the same or a bit less than the last couple of RW's have been out at, and it does include a hard case. When I sell something to fund the next "I've always wanted one of them" I always try to put it at a price fair to buyer AND seller. They are over £1100 new now, with a gigbag, and used ones rarely hang around more than a few days. I will miss it, but watch out for a NBD next week .
  8. It was Rich, and I'm gutted to sell it, but the one I've been offered, I had never even seen one until last night. This is the only one of my basses I should be able to find a used replacement for. Sometimes a grumpy old git's gotta do what a grumpy old git's gotta do
  9. Morning all. I thought I had all the basses I would ever need, none to be sold. WRONG AGAIN I have the chance of something rare and special. This is the only bass I have much chance of replacing second hand, so sacrifice it I must! I hope 4candles won't mind me using his original advert (linked). I THINK, if you double click over the photos, it opens up on Photobucket, and you can zoom them there. Well, it does for me. These are currently costing £1100 new, with gigbag. [url="http://basschat.co.uk/topic/256203-fender-jazz-60s-roadworn-fiesta-red-sold/page__hl__fender+road+worn+jazz__fromsearch__1"]http://basschat.co.u...__fromsearch__1[/url] It also includes the spec of this bass. It's relatively light at just under 9lbs. I'm including a tatty but usable Hiscox hard case at no extra cost. There is a feedback link at bottom of this post. I would obviously prefer to meet up (free of charge) between say Penrith, Leeds and Brum. However insured courier delivery, mainland UK, will be an extra £30. Sorry, but no PAINPal. Sorry, but no trades. Any questions, or trial in Wigan.

    Had a rattle of this tonight, fabulous bass and bloke. However Ash; I know where you live. I know what you have

  12. I always think I've been complimented if I get through a gig without being bottled. Somebody once said to me "everybody has the right to be ugly, but you abuse it"

    Ash, check your pm's in about half an hour fella.
  14. Forgot all about Barclay James Harvest, another that had their moments. And a splendid band we supported at The Swan in Billingham, about mebbes '81. Saracen. Superb.
  15. Might just pm you if it's still here next week. I keep coming back and lusting at this
  16. Well hush my mouth, sorry I mentioned a slight doubt
  17. Yessongs without doubt for me, but Snowgoose and Brain Salad Surgery well up there and Heep's Magicians Birthday had it's moments. Also rather liked Allan Parson's Project, Vangelis and Greenslades' Spyglass Guest and Bedside Manners Are Extra, although prog is stretching it a bit on those.
  18. Stunning. Did I miss the answer to whether trades would be considered?
  19. Musta been going a helluva speed when it hit that wall. Coat got Bump.
  20. Bugger, I lusted after this last time it was up. Typically, I could have bought this 2 weeks ago, but I spent all my loot on a rare Rick. GLWTS that really is amazing.
  21. Erm, this advert is 2 years old. Not even sure if he was going by this user name, or his original one, at this time.
  22. That looks a really nice bass, at a decent price. But £1800 is a lot of money for somebody to find. I am going to link somebody else's advert, to show the sort of pictures that will help you sell your bass. Pots, pick ups, neck end etc. I have nothing to do with the guy in the other advert, just using it to advise you. http://basschat.co.uk/topic/267200-1970-fender-telecaster-bass/ Good luck with your sale, cheers, Karl.
  23. There should be some printing on the back of the original pick ups. A photo of that would help I think. Lovely bass.
