Have you seen the mad upright in eBay weird and wonderful thread? I'm in 2 minds whether to keep it, meanwhile its still available. Just my luck to sell it then later decide to get that little jazz combo going as always planned 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oddly I'd spotted it there as I keep an eye on anything new in Lefty Section. Was already gone yesterday, looked good at a fair price. Gumtree today, a Japanese Squier Precision Medium Scale. He wants £600 which is too much for me at present but seems a bit less than some of the prices being asked. Never had a decent P bass yet, at my age am starting to think shorter scale might be a good idea.

rasher80 Posted August 21, 2022 Share Posted August 21, 2022 That P looks really nice! A bit out of my price range unfortunately. Normally not a huge fan of the gold guard but it works on that bass Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm already at too many basses, but a P would be very welcome in the fold right now! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could pick up a Player P and get a guard cut and it'd do me. Although I don't think I could get away with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uk_lefty Posted August 22, 2022 Share Posted August 22, 2022 Tasty 1980 Rick I just noticed on eBay... https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/125433617786?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=lWesMlFOSri&sssrc=2349624&ssuid=XRJhsZSpS5O&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rasher80 Posted August 22, 2022 Share Posted August 22, 2022 I saw that, YOB bass for me as well 😄 There was a guy who used to sell lefty Ricks, he had quite a few and some rare ones as well. I was nearly tempted by a Burgundyglo 4003 about 15 years back, but I plumped for a 4004L which I really liked but moved it on for a CIJ P a few years later. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd love to try a current Rick 4003. I bought one new at Guitar Guitar in 2009 when the exchange rate of the Pound vs Euro was at an all-time low, but after the initial novelty wore off I loved the tone and looks, but hated almost everything else. I hear they have much more comfortable neck profiles these days, and the new bridge with individual saddle height is a huge upgrade. Mine had a wide, flat, D-shaped neck which felt almost square to my hands (flat back - they're rounder now), and the bridge only sat on the tailpiece on its two height adjustment screws and would rock forward and backward when tuning or adjusting the thing. The bound body edges also weren't for me, I would go for a 4003s now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It felt very flat compared to the Jazz, but wider with no taper which took some getting used to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
