Ive had my 4001 for 11 years now, it's done countless gigs. A bit like what 4000 says, i grew up with the Ric neck and tone and nothing else does it for me now... Tried Fenders and always end up back on the Ric.

Just the MIA P for me. Want to get hold of a Jazz tho.

Bargsville

Blimey, whoever got this for £450 must be over the moon, and with a case as well? Nutty price. Love EB3's.

is this the one geofio is after, I wonder?

A very good price for the industry standard in DVVM.

The best bass sound I have ever heard was our very own Dood with his SVT2 and 2 4.5XL's. Truly immense.

I sold mine...

...the I bought it back a few years later. I dont use it anymore (its an old Aria Pro II that got defretted, not the easiest thing to learn on!) but its nice to have the old girl in the rack with the others.

And on the complete other end of the spectrum, if you like your fretless heavy (yes, really) try Leprosy or Human by Death. Amazing playing from DiGiorgio on those two albums. Not often you hear a fretless bass in death metal but it certainly works for those albums.

Want want want...

...just no cash at the mo, few months yet to my (non-banking related) bonus

I miss my Jetglo Ric terribly. Lovely bass and a sign 'o the times this hasnt gone yet.

Awesome bass fella, id love this but after my latest Ric shaped purchase i have no dosh! Doubt it will be here long....

Someone who knows about amps and can fix them will be getting one of THE bargs here... one of the all time classic amps!

The volume you get out of these is frankly terrifying, I dont think you will have any issues being heard fella - worth noting that this was when I tried Charic's rig... which was an RS210 I think. Mega impressed with these amps, might have to have one meself in the near future.

Unbelievably good price for a mega bass...

Im an Ampeg lover and always have been, but was seriously impressed with Charic's TC rig at the East Anglia BB last year. Masses of volume... Obviously totally different to an Ampeg but i liked it a lot. Some nice features on the RH like settings memory etc, tuner, tube tone blah blah... And as you say, very light.

Bargainous cab

The only thing better than these are the 610's. And the onky thing better than the 610 is.... Oh you get the drift

Always wanted to try one of these out after seeing the review for them in Bassist mag (remember that?)... Looked really cool to me!

The Norwich boys have been good to me, price matched online prices and ordered stuff in for me with no hassle. And thats back to and including from the days of it being Academy Of Sound.

£120 is a steal!

Especially given the price of this... exactly the same, no?

I had the separate head of this for years, served me well, hundreds of gigs it did... the odd overheating issue but that was probably my fault more than the amps! Corking sound... this is one of the newer versions to mine tho. £120 is a steal!

Im loving those Grabbers! Is that Burgundy or something similar, Zydian?

My old Ric has aged from white to a yellowy cream... Wonder if its much to do with the places i used to play in? Ive always had nice comments about the way it looks, complete with light fag burn mark in the headstock.

My two penneth on the whole smokin' thang - it should be the landlord / venue's choice if smoking is allowed or not, then its also your choice to play there or not. Being as ive been in both positions (behind the bar booking bands, and on stage with a bass) its plain to the eye that the ban has had an effect on crowd size, particuarly for the rock music i used to troll out regularly. However one should consider a number of other factors such as more expensive booze, the rise of the chain pub, the amount of cash a punter can spend on seeing a local band vs. saving up and seeing a famous one, etc).

How odd... Its ike a 4004 copy... Mixed with a 4003? Odd! Good price for someone tho :-)

Wow... Superb condition! I dont think this will be about long

Now then... when I was learning thar' bass as a young lad, I was bought the following book by the big man Mr Rainey :

[url="http://www.amazon.com/Complete-Electric-Bass-Player-Book/dp/0825624258"]http://www.amazon.com/Complete-Electric-Bass-Player-Book/dp/0825624258[/url]

Excellent book full of tips and grooves. No tab tho, all dots... which IMO was a good thing when I had my "L" plates on

Worth investigating!
