josh3184 Posted February 19, 2010 Author Posted February 19, 2010 Hah! I was just on ebay and was gonna bring that up Always been intrigued by them as it seems there's a lot of bass for the money
josh3184 Posted February 19, 2010 Author Posted February 19, 2010 [quote name='tografox' post='725933' date='Jan 27 2010, 12:28 AM']My 2008 Leftie Rickenbacker 4003 Jetglo has gone walkies while in the care of a courier company. I would love to hear from anyone who has been offered an improbably cheap 2008 Leftie Ricky bass or has doubts about the parentage of one they have seen. When lost, it had a Pickguardian black pickguard and various other 'upgrades'. The original bits were in the case, so it may have been put back to original, but I have the serial number and there are a few other things that will show me that its mine. Went adrift in silver Rickenbacker hardcase with all the candy. The guy who bought it from me is very keen to receive it, so any help from the leftie bass community would be appreciated. Thanks in advance, Bob[/quote] Did this turn out to be the one on leftybass.com?
BassHertz Posted February 19, 2010 Posted February 19, 2010 Yeah they are really solid guitars, the neck is really thin great for those with small hands. The adjustable nut is a nice feature. Quite a defined mid range sound in passive mode and lots of lows when u put it in active mode and turn up the bass. The older models didnt have a concentric volume/tone pot - this allows you roll off the highs in passive mode. I think if you add upp the parts that make up this bass it comes to about the asking price without including the body and neck.
wildus Posted February 19, 2010 Posted February 19, 2010 I had a 7 string HK very nice bass for the money the sound was good, neck was a monster
BassHertz Posted February 19, 2010 Posted February 19, 2010 I still have the 7 string very nice feel but I struggle to keep the strings muted....gotta keep practicing.

Making me consider trading the Ray for another Warwick+ a bit of cash and doing the same tbh, its [i]that[/i] good

I bought one last year and found 6 strings really wasn't for me. (This year I've done the same with 5 too lol!)

Your financial loss would have been massive if you had tried to sell that . It was a beautiful bass though!

Very dodgy.
rubber_ritchie Posted February 22, 2010 Posted February 22, 2010 Are you saying this eBay poster is selling the stolen bass? Did you send it special delivery? Was it insured? I wouldn't post anything worth over £100 unless it's insured and I can blame the delivery company if they lose it.
josh3184 Posted February 22, 2010 Author Posted February 22, 2010 anyone coming to the Yorkshire bash? Don't want to be the only lefty again

It's cool, and well worth following
BassJase Posted March 1, 2010 Posted March 1, 2010 Just a quickie, I know a guy selling a lefty 70's P-Bass for about £800/£900-ish and a lefty MIM Jazz for about £200ish. He's moving to Scandanavia but his parents have his bass gear in Southampton (I think) but he said they'll post them or whatever. I really don't know anymore details about them, but can put anybody interested in touch with him.
josh3184 Posted March 1, 2010 Author Posted March 1, 2010 if there are any links to pictures I maaaaay be interested
