    New photo's added in post # 12. FREE (tatty) hardcase now included if posted. UK delivery only. £330 including insured postage. Finances need to clear before bass is posted. £300 Collected from Wigan, in gigbag. CMI Rick copy, Feb 1976. I got this a couple of weeks before christmas for £285 plus delivery. That was a bargain. Gig bag included. I had been looking out for a bolt neck as you can do something about action etc, unlike neck through. I have since had it taken to pieces, shimmed, set up, tuner problem sorted. It now sports a black TRC with RickenFaker on it, as well as a black scratchplate. Original scratchplate and TRC included in the sale. It has a new set of Status flat wound 40-100's. Action is much better than when I got it. It has a lot of little chips, dings etc, it's lived some of it's 35 years. Reason for sale is I need a 2nd Orange SP212, my other 3 basses are workhorses, this is a lovely luxury. Yes, it does sound a lot like a standard Rick, but remember the classic sounds of Squires/Lee were a lot more than just the bass . I live in Wigan, I will meet up to 70 miles from Wigan. Sorry, as ever, photo's crap as it's just a phone. Edited to remove really crap photo's of black 'plate/TRC, will try to get better ones done. Any trial if you want to come round, any questions please just mail me. Cheers, Karl.

    Good song, strong bass playing by a team player. Excellent.

    Definitely '75 re-issue (blocks/binding/3bolt/microtilt/bullet truss) but a special run. Fantastic with the matching headstock, only thing mine is missing. . Thanks for bringing that bass into our world Clarky , Karl.

    [quote name='silddx' post='1109528' date='Jan 31 2011, 02:57 PM']And you also realise that our very own Craig Martini is the bassist in Gilbert's band, and is the bassist in the clip?[/quote] Mucho respect here, that bass line took me months to learn as a kid. I am really grateful for this vid, as our lead guitard is a monster Gilbert fan and this gives me much more leverage to get Roundabout onto the set list Cheers Craig Martini (not one hint of jealousy ) Karl.

    Wonder if it's inspired by Roger Dean's ironing board (age being shown alert). Karl.

    [quote name='noelk27' post='1108633' date='Jan 30 2011, 08:40 PM']A useless lump of wood to my eye. And design/built by someone who doesn't have a full palette of fretting techniques.[/quote] I think you are being too kind Karl.

    This time last year I was skint. I sold a jazz that I had owned for nearly 30 years. It was too valuable to gig anymore and too valuable to sit in the house. I now have 3 recent-ish workhorse basses that were relatively inexpensive that do as good a job as I am capable of producing. I also have a '76 Rickenfaker which is the least used and will probably be going to help fund a second Orange cab. I used to get emotionally attached, but not any longer. I hope circumstance get better for you (bloody hell, there's a lot of "I" in that ). Good luck, Karl.

    £1000 for a Mexican Jazz. I'll have a pint of what he's drinking Karl.

    [quote name='silddx' post='1107396' date='Jan 29 2011, 05:30 PM']Well, mine are both now on hold for BCers. I will still have my Electra build with the Warwick neck. I am swapping two active German Corvettes, a $$ and a Standard Ash fretless for one of these [url="http://www.fenderjapan.co.jp/jb66b.html"]http://www.fenderjapan.co.jp/jb66b.html[/url] Yes, maybe I am mad, but I will stop at nothing to get it! You will probably see it in a for sale thread in six months [/quote] Enjoy Nige, I have the '75 Japanese non export RI and love it to death. Mind, always liked the short lived Fortress Flashback . Karl.

    Wait 'til the the daft lads get in from work, I think it may turn into "one of them threads" Karl.

    [quote name='Bassassin' post='1106401' date='Jan 28 2011, 04:38 PM']Interesting, and possibly should be being discussed elsewhere, but - I don't scrupulously clean my basses that often, just a wipe over from time to time, however I wouldn't consider selling a bass that wasn't immaculately clean,. Personally I find it f*cking vile to buy an instrument & then have to spent hours scraping some disgusting sod's encrusted filth off it before I can stomach playing it. Maybe that's just me but it happens a lot. Jon.[/quote] Doesn't that fence hurt your arse Jon ? Karl.

    The white '75 RI, blocks and binding, in my sig, is one from Tom. If you are very nice to me, you may get it. IN MY WILL! . Deal with supreme confidence peeps. Karl.
  16. karlfer
    Genius, pissed myself Karl.
  17. karlfer
    My opinion (for what it's worth) is that is a very keen price for that bass. Luvverly! Welcome to Basschat and good luck. Karl
  18. karlfer

  19. karlfer

    Deal with confidence peeps, Justin's a top bloke who really looks after his gear. All the best with this mate, I was sorely tempted myself , Cheers, Karl.

    Now traded for Lloyd's Orange Terror/SP212. Masive cheers fella . Watch put for my Rickenfaker coming up soon, to help fund a 2nd SP212. Cheers, Karl.
  23. karlfer

  24. karlfer

    [quote name='TomTom' post='1100224' date='Jan 23 2011, 10:19 PM']It exactly what im after too mate, just looks like the best compromise of size and sound. I like the fact that you can easily add another small cab for extra oompf too. Hope it works out for you bud.[/quote] Cheers TomTom, totally with you on compromise. Spoke to Lloyd last night and he is keen, however if he gets a cash offer that he likes, I certainly would not blame him for taking it . Stuff I'm selling/trading is stupid amount new, but as long as I don't have to get my hand in my pocket . You are so right about extending as well, a dozen gigs will get me another 2x12 if I get lucky. Fingers crossed, cheers, Karl.
