https://on.soundcloud.com/ALQc1meiHgVUjfWKA having just booked our summer holiday… I just tried to get my head in that “first cocktail in the sun” came out like a pseudo Foos track. pretty happy with that Ripper, Yamaha acoustic and my trusty £40 Pacifica…everything else is GarageBand.

Love these basses 😍

£3999 would be it for me

🤢

Work has settled down after a bonkers week. Will set about this with aplomb at some point

Oh no. F*cks sake. many a conversation with the man. Very sad. love to all close to him x

Lloyd bought a Yamaha from me - absolutely easy transaction; he’s got one of my “shouldn’t have sold that” basses. but I’m glad it’s gone to a good home!

Rosetti are the UK distributor for Ric. This will be full tilt recommend retail. But if they’re above £5k I absolutely can’t go for that 🤦🏻‍♂️

That’s really something Warren, congratulations x

if it works… bridge lift/split - very rare, but i have seen it. truss Rod works…8mm box wrench (like a Gibson) the machineheads are usually rattly - that’s a quirk. Just live with it.

Been on a while that… Looks cool. but not on the danger list for me.

This would’ve been EMG’d and lake placid blue with a Pearl pickguard 💆🏻‍♂️

There was one in Liverpool for £100. now somewhere else in Liverpool for £200. there was a 90’s bb350 for £60 today… I messaged the guy the second I saw it…but it was gone, obviously 😫

Bb414 is a kind of bb1600 reissue

yup. I’ve been walking around feeling like shite with a properly sore throat all day 🫤 - grim.

It was an absolute pleasure Andy. Great fun - having been in similar positions before myself I was totally with you on the ride. I must admit - had it not gone home with you (it 100% would have…with someone) I was actually thinking how to pay for it myself. A very cool bass.

If they’ve changed the headstock on the godin A4 alike. I’m goosed.

They were - I first met @skelf in about 2007 at a Manchester Bass Day. I was a much skinnier young oik then. I spent this morning saying hello/catching up. The basses on the stand were INSANE. So beautifully made. The necks are honestly some of the best I’ve ever touched - I didn’t play them (dangerous territory I fear) - but a J type 4 in the purple to blue would ABSOLUTELY suit me - and they’re so well priced; I’ve not a clue why I’m not already in the queue. Also met his better half who does some stunning finishing work. Lovely lovely people.

Oh MAHHHN! Now…one minor error I only have Speakon cables. I have ordered some Speakon to Jack so have to wait. Im reliably informed by Walshy who says it’s a LOUD amp.

They fetch decent money. Send me some pics in a PM? Andy

I have to start bloody preparing now in anticipation
