Hi all! First gig for my new band tonight, headlining at B2 @ The Brickmakers in Norwich. 3 great bands, free entry... We are all original grungerock, think Smashing Pumpkins meets Clutch and you aint far off. First band at 8pm, come and see something a bit different ;-)

If you pick up a B2RE and stick a BSP or SVP in front of it you'll nail it just beautifully.

My 2011 jetglo Ric had paint falling off issues, sent it back to the shop and got my money back. No excuses for a firm to charge £1700+ for an instrument that cant keep its coat on! I think George (geofio) has had one recently (also jetglo... Hmmm!). Certainly wouldnt buy a new jetglo Ric now. Havent heard of any other colour finishes being affected?

[quote name='steantval' timestamp='1372881494' post='2131180'] WHAT A FANTASTIC GIFTED BASS PLAYER.............HE'S DEFINITELY IN MY TOP 3. [/quote] What.... As in... "Best ever?" Really?

I think I can answer this one, being a 4003 user with a 210 and a 212! Are you using the 4003 in the classic "Ric" style, ie. shedloads of treble on bridge pickup? If so use the 210, it seems more sensitive to my ears for those treble frequencies you want to be prominent in your sound. If you are going for mid position or a full neck PU bass sound, try the 212. I generally go for the 210 with my sound, seems to fit it well (worth noting I use the Staccato '51 which has a bit more treble scoop in it anyway) but the 212 certainly wont let you down either. Or better... get both and stack 'em

I just dont get the point of it... like others have said here theres clearly something there thats intriguing but as songs they just dont stand up. I like the woman's voice too, very Tracey Thorn-esque. A very very weird choice to have to end a festival on - particuarly since the Smashing Pumpkins were before them on the lineup and would have finished it significantly better

Cant see that Cliff Burton has been mentioned? Dear lord.... Ok...ill go with Cliff Burton JPJ JJ Burnel Geezer Butler Krist Novoselic Stuart Zender Squarepusher Sting I think that will do for now...

Its all Dood's fault that im here, if I remember correctly?

Its not bad, very Motorheadyyyy if you ask me. I like the chap and i hope he does well.

I definitely wouldnt deal with them directly, and i actually like Rics! The only new Ric ive ever had from new had to go back to the shop and me getting my money back due to the paint shearing off the body near the bridge after a month's use. Certainly would thnk twice about ever buying a new one. And given Hall's recent shenanigans i would rather buy second hand. Interestingly one of the bridge pins fell out of that bass as well... QC at Ric appears to be poor which is a shame as the bass itself was an absolute delight to play (as Dood will testify to after giving it a workout when i bought it)
