Thx, Clarky, though I'm glad you bit on Beedster's Gherson cos that allowed him to buy my V63 which allowed me to buy...(runs out of breath!)

I would proably have gone for this rather than Beedster's look-alike Gherson faker....

Which is exactly what I suggested you should do when we first spoke about the Faker mate

Arrrrgh. I really want this bass but I am so in up to my neck on my new custom order. Consider a trade on some pedals and studio gear? I love the 4001s...

Political stuff aside, these basses do an incredible job in a way that no other bass can. They sound so good with flats its untrue...

Sorry, Bill. Got anything else??

I never ran a 4001 with flats but they do sound good with them: 'Hotel California' by The Eagles and 'Turning Japanese' by The Vapors, which is [i][b]the[/b][/i] Rick flats tone!!!

[Stacker]

Will also PX for a TC BH500 with 210 cab!!

Thomastiks work very well.

To be honest I've never enjoyed round wounds on rics. They occupy too much of the frequency spectrum and clash with guitars/voice etc in the mix. Flats are a different story. you have growly mids and edge but lose the hi end interference in the mix. And the bottom end is something to behold.

I'll have look around my stuff but I don't have any instruments left apart from the Rick and a db...argh...

[Stacker]

Come ON, guys! Make me an offer as I've seen something else.

£650....... Ill get my coat....

Music shops are struggling to shift them as well, my local has had a jetglow for nearly a year now and the guy says he looks like loosing money on it, he's tried e.bay several times and he says £1250 would shift it out, which is not bad for a brand new one.

Which music shop? I might tyake a new one for that?

You're posting a lot on this forum and slagging Rick prices; you have also slagged off the condition of this bass without seeing it. Please don't post on any of my threads again, fella: I'm trying to sell this bass without a troll f***ing it up.

Thx, Walplayer.

[Steve Spector]

Yeah, sorry Stacker if my post was inappropriate too, didn't think about it. I know there are rules on here about discussing prices of gear, and quite rightly. I was just wondering who was selling them for that low, certainly I've never seen it. Hope all goes well with the sale.

No, you wre cool, mate. No probs.

[Stacker]

Ok, hopefully by now the troll has been bounced and the sale can continue. There's a couple of offers on the go and of course I will entertain a 24hr appraisal.
