  1. [quote name='Charla' timestamp='1333185338' post='1598442'] [size=3][color=#000000][font=Calibri]Karlfer[/font][/color][/size] [size=3][color=#000000][font=Calibri]Thank you for that info, quite a lot of Kasuga's out there I see! [/font][/color][/size] [size=3][color=#000000][font=Calibri]Have Rickenbacker ever embraced the `low end market' (as in price and not tone). Maybe if they are worried about good quality copies then they should produce their own `copies’. Sure the Chinese would welcome them with open arms!!![/font][/color][/size] [size=3][color=#000000][font=Calibri]If I had £400 I might have thought about this, but I've just spent my bass allocation on two EBS 1x12's!!!![/font][/color][/size] [size=3][color=#000000][font=Calibri]Cheers[/font][/color][/size] [size=3][color=#000000][font=Calibri]Charla[/font][/color][/size] [/quote] Welcome Charla, no Rick have never gone low end although there have been a couple of slightly cheaper, less specced models than the 4001/4003 (Hamburg springs to mind). I do hope Mr Hall the CEO of RIC doesn't see your comments about them getting budget ricks made for them in China, he may have a coronary issue . If you do ever decide on a Rick copy, do your research on the EBay thread on here. Good copy from the 70's or there are a couple of decent copies from this century. Cheers, Karl. Oh, bump!
  2. The Gus has Snakewood fretboard to go with the Snake Oil
  3. [quote name='Charla' timestamp='1333095719' post='1597163'] Some Americans think they rule the World, well look where their Brand of Captilalism got us!!!!!!! I'm not anti all America, there are some really nice people out there. Rickenbacker Inc must feel very insecure if the CEO is contacting Ebay sellers ................ not everyone wants or can afford the real think. Sure I'd have one, but I have many more bass related priorities before I get to a Rick! Never heard of Kasuga, but it looks a nice bass. Cheers Charla [/quote] Go to the Ebay bit in the For Sale forum, go to the pinned Rickenfakers thread, search Kasuga and you will find quite a bit on them. Superb basses.
  4. Good luck Stacker, admire the courage of your convictions. Admire the V63 even more, that looks fantastic, stunning, gorgeous . Only thing to offer is two immaculate Bergantino's unless you fancy a Kasuga in part ex . Good luck with the sale, I need to lie down in a dark corner now.
  5. Sad to start, happy ending, aaaaahhhhhhhh. Seriously though, brill story, congrats, Karl.
  6. [quote name='LukeFRC' timestamp='1333130342' post='1597939'] got a 100 mates who will say the same thing? [/quote] 100 mates? I'm the town Gargoyle, whaddya reckon
  7. [quote name='Johnston' timestamp='1333009625' post='1596008'] Ow! Stop nicking my ideas Nah it is actually easy. Though expect minimum orders of $5k from a lot of places. Once the shipping goes on and HMRC takes a kick back you need to basically allow for £5k. $8k from a company that builds for a few "brands" . I had one place going to do me 2 models to my specs and do 6 of each as samples. [/quote] Bring on the FenderBirds I say!!!
  8. The one I got (after 5 years of trying) was on at the same time as this one but it got pulled a few hours after going live on FEEBay. I was given the guy's email address by Mr. Foxen and managed to get mine for £450 (it is the ultra rare White front/Black back). I would have had this stunner but for the White and Black one coming up. Mr. Hall is a tad bothersome , but we bassists generally prevail. DO NOT sell off your Rick's because he is a little awkward, enjoy them for the great basses they are, cheers, Karl.
  9. Genz Benz Shuttle 6 in Genz Benz gig bag. 4 weeks old, 4 gigs old, fantastic amp, only reason for selling is I got the chance of an EBS TD650 for a price I couldn't refuse. Pictures as at Genz Benz site, It is indistinguishable from new. [url="http://www.bassdirect.co.uk/bass_guitar_specialists/Genz_Benz_Heads_STL6.html"]http://www.bassdirec...Heads_STL6.html[/url] £320 collected from Wigan, £330 couriered to you after funds clear. Please check my feedback near bottom of this post. Cheers, Karl.
  10. [quote name='nottswarwick' timestamp='1332922501' post='1594777'] Indeed. I see you got hold of a 212 Karl? [/quote] Yes Chris, and it's going up for sale, along with my Shuttle 6. For reasons nobody wants to know, I appear to have bought an EBS TD650 and 2 Bergantino cabs . Bassists eh
  11. Excellent basses with huge tonal range. Don't know why he didn't mention the Piezo under the bridge though . Very light as well, obviously.
  12. [quote name='nottswarwick' timestamp='1332880519' post='1594482'] Yep sold. I updated the dedicated thread and forgot this one.. [/quote] Bassists eh
  13. I'm fairly positive Chris sold this a week or so back. Mind, my EBS Neo 212, 600 watt 4ohm may well be coming up next week due to 2 incoming Bergatinos . Cheeky I know, but just a heads up!
  14. For many off us gear tarts it's about reputation. Most of us would fall on our swords rather than get a flaming for being dodgy.
  15. Thanks. I even asked him if he was OK selling at the price, giving him the chance to get out and try again, but he is relatively happy taking it. I will let you know if I decide to sell the HT115 in a couple of weeks. Cheers, Karl.
  16. Yup, and I'm doing a 400 mile round trip to pick it up . Probably sell the HT115 on in a couple of weeks, the amp and HT322 will be more than enough for me. Did I say . Karl..

  18. This one's a belter, I should never have traded it, and Clive is an AMAZING player and top doood!!! 2nd in line on the cash jobby please Clive . Almost tempted to throw my white/black Kasuga into the ring, but it's taken me 5 years to find it!!!!! Thinks on practicality of Kasuga when all gigs use my Yam . Edit, How the Hell did I miss this post for 5 days.
  19. [quote name='Ou7shined' timestamp='1332410752' post='1587791'] I'm glad you said that. My feelings on these c*nt brained bastard rip-off f*ckers is well know and I probably would had posted something worse. [/quote]
  20. Is this the lad from Leigh that's got it on FEEBay at £350? If so, I'm gutted. Was going to see how this weeks 2 gigs go with my new Shuttle 6, and if no happier with it, was going to mail him. It will be long gone before Sunday on here . Good luck to him (I think ). Karl.
