alanbass1 Posted September 25, 2010 Share Posted September 25, 2010 (edited) This is a real nice rik, it was the pick of eight basses that had arrived at Peter Cooks - they were unpacking them as I was trying them all out.

Cairobill Posted September 26, 2010 Share Posted September 26, 2010 hi Iojo I'm on the lookout for a Ric at the moment. Regarding neck profile, is this at the J bass end of the spectrum or p bass? Cheers Nick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lovely.[/quote] Cheers Alan and MM I am most comfortable on precisions and although this is slightly fatter, the neck does not bother me at all, its very playable Its nice to not be bothered if this goes or not, it really is something special, its just not getting used outside the house, which is a shame, but this could change in time if it stayed here Thanks for all the trade offers so far, shame nothing has worked out so far, Id be unlikely to take anything other than fender Ps or a ray, but no harm in offering other stuff on the off chance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
