    Thanks Lee. Looking at the 4th picture down, it looks like a big screwdriver mark, at the bridge end of the body. It isn't it's just some trick of the camera. The only marks on it are the Fender light relicing. Don't know if this is different on every bass? Feedback below. Ta.

    Bloody southerners and their beautiful days. I live in Wigan. If you did you would understand why I'm a grumpy old git

    No. I'm disappointed because of the attitude shown over a question posed. Things change over the course of time. To ask a question then to see a response that considers it is sh*t stirring is disappointing and shows (in my opinion) a fundamental misunderstanding of why the question was asked. Perhaps I have missed all the other debates after the initial thread asking members opinions and stating the owners position on the matter. If that is the case, my bad. The last thing I want to see is Basschat getting serious hassle from RIC, but it was a serious question. AND BY THE WAY, where exactly did I have a pop at Basschat? If I have done that, then I apologise unreservedly. Basschat is very important to me (even if my subs appear to have lapsed ).

    Quite often one or two in FEEBay, but £50 may be a bit hopeful. Good luck! Karl. There ya go. Nowt to do with me but seems to be what you are after [url="http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/A-Vintage-Jedson-Bass-/251502322170?pt=UK_Musical_Instruments_Guitars_CV&hash=item3a8eb4e1fa"]A Vintage Jedson Bass[/url]

    [quote name='the boy' timestamp='1397368413' post='2423177'] I don't think anyone expects that. I'm guessing the point of this new topic is to explore ways of advertising Rics without the risk of the fight. [/quote] Exactly.

    So, the asking of a question is sh*t stirring Mr Apple? Disappointing response. As for exhuming horses?? I asked a genuine question as to whether it could possibly be looked at, that's all. I also requested if the question was inappropriate, please remove the thread. Most people have entered into the spirit of the question but more than one has to be the clever one about it. Oh well it's the internet . Strangely enough when I was thinking about adverts having to be authorised by "committee" the Faker expert I had in mind was the blindingly obvious one, namely Bassassin. By the way, for anybody who thinks otherwise, Mr Hall has been AMAZINGLY successful in getting ads for Fakers pulled and the result of that seems to have been a very strange downward pressure on their selling prices. Thanks to everybody for their thoughts nonetheless.

    Mods, please delete if you think inappropriate. And my apologies if it is so. Really just what it says above. Is it possible to review the situation regarding the forbidding of Rick sales here? There have been a couple of comments requesting looking at allowing real ones to be sold again. IE, possibly allowed after being vetted by a small committee of real bass and fakers experts. I for one find it sad such an iconic instrument is missing from our sales section. And yes, I know all the original reasons for the ban. Again Mods, apologies if I am out of order, the intent is not to stir it up, but perhaps to look to moving forward. Cheers, Karl.

    That is one beautiful bass. Please don't take this the wrong way Innobassion, but your avatar implies you are in Tokyo, Japan. With likely shipping costs around £100 to UK, plus VAT, customs import duty etc, to buy your bass people would need to budget around £1100 to get it to UK, based on your £800 asking price. Hope the Mods and you are both ok with this guess, as I would hate to think somebody would get carried away with the beauty of this bass and then find out the other bits too late. Mods, please feel free to delete if I have crossed the line. Cheers, Karl.

    Just a bit short. If one of my two basses go in time..............
  11. karlfer
    They were obviously gutted, not, Damon. They pm'd a bass player on NWB before I got home from rehearsal.
  12. karlfer
    So I chickened out until the end of rehearsal. I said to them they would need to get a new bassist but that I would work with my replacement as much as they needed until he/she were ready. I also said I would do all the gigs until somebody was ready. The Troyen guitarist asked, quite sharply for him, what my reasons were. Unusual for him, he really is a nice, gentle man. I mumbled I had my reasons. Rather empty inside at the moment, but to me, I needed to do it. Not fun, but there you go. Thank you to all you lot for the last week. The supporters and the ones who think I'm a tosser. For good and bad, you have all been the musical sanity in the vacuum between my lugs. Thanks all.

    Fabulous bass!
  14. karlfer
    Oh well thanks anyway. GLWTS
  15. karlfer
    Aha, little bit of research and I'm sure I could "sniff" you out from NWB. I'll have to Seattle for watching bands perhaps
  16. karlfer
    4 ohms or 8 ohms?

    [quote name='Les' timestamp='1396983601' post='2419499'] My lips are sealed mate. We're in Standish on Sunday by the way lol [/quote] Whatever happens I will need to honour The Boulevard on Saturday night. After that, wanna buy a Nate Mendel or US Precision, I'll bring them to Standish

    [quote name='Les' timestamp='1396981910' post='2419478'] Bloody hell Karl, only just seen this. Sorry to hear about it bud. [/quote] Thanks Les, don't say anything though dude. They don't know yet. They also don't know about this thread. Upside is I may FINALLY get to one of your lot's legendary shindigs

    [quote name='Kev' timestamp='1396980759' post='2419454'] In that case I'm out, but best of luck with the sale [/quote] And me. Last time it was up I didn't have the loot spare. This time I have. You may have more luck on FEEBay. GLWTS

    [quote name='uncle psychosis' timestamp='1396969190' post='2419251'] Once went to the Yates' in Darlington, needless to say it didn't strike me as the wisest place to be Scottish in public [/quote] Oh yeah? I lived in Bannockburn for 13 years. Often had a barrel of laughs going to the jam nights in the William Wallace in Stirling. Yup, English Unpopular Front To be honest Uncle, it's been really good to get ALL opinions in a place where the rest of the band can't follow, so thanks to all for their input.

    [quote name='uncle psychosis' timestamp='1396967386' post='2419220'] I had a girlfriend from Darlington. Nice girl. ...and thats the best thing I can say about Darlington [/quote] Oh, YOU were the one . I've heard about you!
  23. karlfer
    [quote name='uncle psychosis' timestamp='1396966574' post='2419208'] I see. Smilies are always better than ellipsis for signalling intent [/quote] I'm from Darlington originally, you will need to make allowances I'm afraid

    [quote name='KevB' timestamp='1396964399' post='2419175'] Thought I'd better look them up as I hadn't heard of them. Not surprised - active for 2 years early 80's, got a record deal but split up before even finishing the single. Not exactly a major act were they? There used to be NWOBHM cmpilation albums that came out at the time with dozens of these sorts of band on them that never made it despite being popular in their home towns. I'm sure they are all more than decent players but it's hardly Diamond Head is it? [/quote] Jeff, our drummer in BBGM and also in Troyen, actually auditioned for Diamond Head. He was offered the job and declined it. Fabulous bloke and fabulous drummer. Going to be hard having the conversation tomorrow night. Whichever way it pans

    [quote name='uncle psychosis' timestamp='1396963966' post='2419164'] A few people saying "I think you're overreacting" is about as far from Spanish Inquisition as it gets. If you didn't expect people to give you their opinion then why did you post on a discussion forum about it? [/quote] See the row of ..................... following the statement? It was an open invitation for somebody to post a link to Python's Spanish Inquisition. Well, it was in my head. T'interweb eh
