He knocked the price down a couple of times & will probably do the same this time around - it's cheapo parts-box bolt-neck Chinese crap with a bullsh!t-powered description, so he'll likely still be in profit when it reaches £200. Nice Shafty, I'm pretty sure my Fireglo Frankenbugger was one of these in a previous life. J. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They really only bear the most superficial resemblance to a Rick - apart from the body shape everything else is a generic modern neck-through bass. Still quite nice though, mine's presently in bits awaiting having the back/neck refinished - I played one gig with it & half the thin black paint on the back just rubbed off! J.

Mr. Foxen Posted September 5, 2010 Share Posted September 5, 2010 [url="http://www.cortguitars.com/basses/t"]The T series are heading that way.[/url] Far from a rick, but close to the one I linked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bassassin Posted September 6, 2010 Share Posted September 6, 2010 Definitely a strong stylistic influence going on there - I do like the red quilty one. There's a Schecter as well with a similar close-but-legal look, can't remember what it's called though. J. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Annoying Twit Posted September 6, 2010 Share Posted September 6, 2010 The photo of the "modern one" doesn't do it for me. Which I find strange as I really liked the "Wesley" posted here some moons ago, and Jon's photos of his in-progress one. Perhaps it's the camera angle or photo that makes it look different to me. If I can be even more disagreeable, the Cort doesn't do it for me either. I don't mind the Rick-ish Crafter, in fact think it looks nice. But the Cort, not quite.

Fella should definitely sell the Ricky handrest separately - that way he could knock £50 off the start price... As I've said before - gorgeous example. J.

That's the sort of thing that one day, someday, I hope will come up near me. An interesting thing with a low start bid so that (if the seller agrees) I could pop round and try out.

They come up occasionally. Here's one that sold recently, and went for £202 + p&p. I [b]think[/b] I remember some selling for cheaper, maybe £160 or so.

Bassassin Posted September 27, 2010 Share Posted September 27, 2010 He's updated his listing now to reflect the fact that it's a bit (of) rubbish. Still very pretty from the back, though. J. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
