  1. Bought around 12 mths ago as a B Stock from Guitar Village. The B stock label os due to the paint dent on the arm contour. I have drop filled it slightly with black nail varnish and it has never bothered me but it is there. I upgraded the wiring to a 60’s style loom from Jagged Offset guitars and had a full set up at PSG Guitars in Radcliffe where my favourite Elites strings were fitted. It has had a bridge cover previously fitted and i do still have the tugbar somewhere. Can provide an old shaped case of needed. Collection would be from Bolton but can discuss meetups and potentially UK postage

  2. its en route - will update once it lands. I just felt for the price that i could live with a hidden route and changed pots. Now its about string choice - my usuals are Elites Flats but in this band I've found Elite Halfwounds more fitting and give a bit more growl
  3. So i eventually succumbed to this......
  4. Been offered £1600 as a trade in so ideally looking to beat that before i go ahead?
  5. Like busses these. You are local to me and one came up the other week almost as local. Only thing that stopped me was my back
  6. Been eyeing this up for a while. If i can shift my Rickenbacker any time soon id be all over this. Have a bump on me
  7. Didnt go on ebay with a £275 reserve Open to offers. Trades considered - Markbass R500, Origin Effects 64 Black Panel,
  8. https://richtonemusic.co.uk/trace-elliot-gp12smx-bass-amp-ra300-power-amp-collection-only-2nd-hand/ Anyone seen this backbreaker over at Richtone?
  9. Im just wondering if missing such a large chunk of wood would have an effect on the sound/resonance?
  10. At least it looks neatly done but still such a shame
  11. Rickenbacker 4003 from what I believe is 1998. Bought very recently from bassbros but to be completely honest (and I do this a lot) whenever I buy a ‘bucket list’ bass I always find my way back to P basses. The recent I went for this specific one is it has a really warm fireglo. Some look very bleached in the middle but this is lovely and vintage looking. It has had a full set up at PSG Guitars in Radcliffe where it was fitted with my favourite Elites Groundwound strings. What comes with the bass:- · Original Ric hardcase with keys · Bridge pickup bezel with thumbrest · Zero Mod clear thumbrest as per pics · Neck pickup cover Currently has Loxx strap locks fitted, can leave on and give you the strap fittings too or I can switch out for plain strap buttons. Ive tried to love this bass, I really have. It looks stunning and some evenings it sits on its stand and I just stare at it J. However, as per when ive bought Spectors, Burns, Warwicks etc in the past its only really Fender P’s that feel right in my hands – to this affect im going after something late 70’s fender P – black/black/maple would be ideal but the search continues. Condition – its played and is absolutely not a case queen. There is buckle rash to the back, several dings on the sides which ill try my best to picture and a few small knocks. Ive highly recommend coming to play and view this in person. Im also willing to travel for the right deal. Im looking to recoup close to my initial outlay (ignoring the set up, strings, zero mod etc) if at all possible but im very conscious of the current climate so serious enquiries and offers would be cosindered. Trades – as mention I like vintage P’s (late 70’s blacks with maple boards) J’s are a constant tease to me also. Not into 5 strings, actives or anything other than standard Fender thigs to be honest (I know im boring). Location is Bolton, Greater Manchester
  12. So the Rickenbacker is really not bonding with me (or vice versa) so im considering trading it it and going back to a fender (either P or J). Initial feeler searches have thrown this up locally@- https://www.sellusyourguitar.co.uk/product-page/fender-jazz-bass-natural-1976-vintage-electric-bass-guitar Ad states replacement volume pots and a refret. Doesnt seem to mention the pickups.
  13. Origin Effects Black Panel Bass Rig
  14. Been reading *LOTS* recently about a very certain driven type P bass sound ive been chasing for a while…now i really want to try out a Markbass R500

  15. Bought this as ive always wanted to try the big box Cali76 pedal and reviews state this is extremely similar and a much lower premium. Worked wonders on beefing up my Rickenbacker and helping with the hollow sounding E strings rics are famous for. A genuinely superbly engineered piece of kit. Price includes UK postage. Would consider trades/part ex for a Sansamp programmable DI or the VT deluxe version (the 3 or 4 channel jobs)

  16. So in conclusion - it sounds great with the Rickenbacker, really fattens it up and helps with the whole ric hollow E string thing. With the precision its very subtle and not very noticeable. I'm probably going to move it on as my current main need is one of those three channel programmable sansamp thingymajigs but was really good to try one out after wanting the big box cali for so long
  17. Ah ok, ill give you a PM if it doesnt work out for my needs
  18. Just to add to the discussion - Last week i bought a bucket list bass for me, the most expensive bass purchase thus far in my bass playing career, in a 1998 Rickenbacker 4003 from bass Bros. Answered my queries regarding neck dimensions quickly, delivered quickly and expertly packed. Ive bought a few things over the years from them both in person (Ashdown fliptop valve amp) and online (p basses mainly) and never had an issue.
  19. Another thing I have had with eBay recently, having sold quite a bit of gear these past few months with a rig rebuild, is they now want my National Insurance details as I've hit their threshold. Apparently if you sell more than £1,700 annually they will now ask for this
  20. Is it your old pedal or one you were watching? So far with the ric at house volume it does definitely fatten up the sound and the Drive option does a bit of breakup when digging it. Look forward to trying it at rehearsal volume with both the P and the Ric
  21. So recently I've discovered a guitar repairers very close to where i live that i never knew about!?! Paul Gatley - PSG Guitars - in Radcliffe, Greater Manchester. He has just done a very quick turnaround set up on my Rickenbacker and as i picked it up i left my P bass with him. Great knowledgeable guy, quick turnarounds and great work. I can definitely recommend
  22. Being a P bass there isnt too much that can go wrong. A full new harness would be about £30 and other than that the only thing it could be is a loose/broken pickup wire?
  23. Having been a user of the Cali76 compact bass pedal i always fancied a try of the bigger TX version but prices are astronomical! This popped up on Richtones secondhand section the other day and a bit of research suggests it may be in the same ballpark. Look forward to giving it a blast, particularly with the Drive setting!
  24. I'm not a million miles away from Chorley. If there's anything I can do to help....
  25. So this is my current wiring. Looks like the cap is already removed? Just the two caps in there
