4001 '79 Ric with vintage case £2850 £2850 Clitheroe

Got this from Andy Baxter just before Xmas - never owned or even played a Ric before - every single bit of it is stunning - so why am i selling? Well even though i've been told i'll get used to it - i'm just not sure when placing my right hand down - the bridge is obv different to anything i've played before, and I just dont want to think about anything when i'm playing - just play - so going back to jazz bass - my guitarist thinks i'm mad, possibly I am but probably you're a Ric person or you're not - i'm probably the latter - shame as it's a stunner and have had lots of admiring comments from pals and other band people.

 

I have put pic with my tag name on so you know it's mine and me at Newcastle City Hall on it's first gig! Sticker will be removed and wont cause any problem. Also using Andy's pics then you can see all the bits etc.

 

Tone is superb - the neck is the best i've ever played - it's 4.1kg / 9.1lb but feels lot less - set up by Andy's tech with TI flats - comes with vintage case that can be seen in pics also mute needs replacing but I have a new one that I’ll include in box - i have box so can ship to UK. Shipping insured inc in price.

I've priced it at what i've paid inc shipping. So not looking for offer or trades- as think this is fair.

 

If you want to come pic it up or meet about an hours drive from Clitheroe - i can knock off £50

Beautiful...had a real soft spot for Rics since once owning one as a youth.

GLWTS.

Fabulous looking bass, shame you don't get on with it, as they really are ace (not that I'm biased). GLWTS.

I get 90% on with it. And it’s fab - sounds amazing. Probably could get used to it. As been noodling for hours and hours on it. But I don’t want to have to think about placement when playing- I know I’ll regret it but jazz is for me.
