    My first bass was a YOB one - 1964 Gibson EB-0. I have no idea why I sold it (for a loss, like every other guitar and bass I've ever sold). I can't remember if I liked it or not, as it was my first and really didn't know what I was doing (some things don't change).

    Ditto. I'm absolutely addicted to his YouTube channel, and, like you, am wondering whether I can afford one of his courses (though I'd really want to pack up everything, do his 3 month luthier course and set up my own guitar business. In my dreams.....

    Watching this with interest as I'm thinking of making something along the lines of a Reverse Jaguar Cabronita 5 string with a single Filtertron or Rickenbacker style pickup, volume pot only (I never use the tone anyway) and left handed neck. Getting some good ideas here

    Sorry, no trades. I'm afraid there's a credit card that needs paying into, otherwise I'd be keeping this

    I think ebony (its hanging next to my other Maruszczyk Jake 5 which is definitely rosewood). I wouldn't stick a load of money at the bookies saying it is (I would put a small amount though). I've always assumed it was ebony but I've no idea really. Here's a close up photo of it compared to the rosewood one. Andyjr1515 may be the person to ask

    I'd sell. I've cut down to two basses (in the process of selling two others that don't get used - nothing wrong with them, actually they are wonderful, but I've got my favourite two). I've got rid of my effects board and just got a Sansamp Flyrig which fits in a gigbag pocket, and I can now go to rehearsal or a gig with a bass in one hand, the amp (Phil Jones Suitcase. if I need more I take the Phil Jones C8 cab too) in the other hand and I've freed up some cash and space in the house.

    I've just changed the pickguard and truss rod cover to black on my 4003SW/5. Looks so much better. Pickguard - www.rickysounds.co.uk Truss rod cover - I got mine on eBay from the USA

    The catches are short and pretty bendable soft metal. A push on the offending catch with a screwdriver should bend it enough to be able to open it.

    I've just put a black pickguard and truss rod cover on my 4003SW-5 to match the black pickups and controls. The white was too much of a contrast.

    I'm going to be in Cardiff the weekend of the 17th April so could pick this up for anyone who wants it in the South-East and can't get to Cardiff to pick it up. Sorry, not coming now. Blame the virus

    Yup, sorry. Already bought the next bass so this has to go to pay the credit card

    Ditto for me

    Price drop to £375 I bought this a few months ago as a backup for my double bass, but I've never used it and it's just sitting collecting dust. It comes with a Washburn gigbag. From the website: AB45 VSK is the flagship of the AB series basses and it comes with a classic single cutaway shaped body. This is an acoustic electric bass which features the patented Soundslot technology. This dramatically reduces the level of feedback hollow-bodied instruments are notorious for. Piezo pickup is controlled through a set of volume and tone controls installed on the top panel. Back and sides on this bass are made of maple, while the top is made of spruce. Neck is made of maple and it comes with a set-in joint. Fingerboard is made of rosewood with 24 frets and dot position inlays.

    Any Trades?

    I'm keeping the Sunburst one but the red one is for sale at the moment

    It is sterile looking (which isn't the idea of a Rick bass in my opinion) but it's such a good bass I can live with it and now it's got black instead of white plastic parts it looks (in my opinion) a whole lot better.

    I've only played it at home but it's so far absolutely wonderful. Got the Rickenbacker sound but it can also do 'normal' bass sounds too. I normally only play lightweight basses (I've got two Maruszczyk Jakes - both around the 7lbs/3.15kg weight - one if for sale at the moment to pay for this if anyone is interested) so would normally avoid anything even remotely heavier (this is 9lbs/4kg) but it feels as light as the Jakes (this is the walnut version. I understand the standard ones are a little heavier). When I first saw pictures of this I was disappointed that both the iconic bridge shape had gone as well as the chrome pickup surrounds etc (and the triangular shaped new pickups), but in the flesh it's still a Rickenbacker (but very well made

    This happened to arrive in the post yesterday

    Near Uckfield (just over an hour to London bridge by train - and I'm happy to come up to London), but I'm going to be in Cardiff 17th/18th April if anyone wants to meet.
