Stacker Posted March 7, 2010 Share Posted March 7, 2010 (edited) This is a serious feeler for the above two basses. Again, something's come on the market and I may not get a pop at it again, so... [size=4][b]1973 Rick 4001 FG[/b][/size] Wavy Grover keys Non-full-width inlays Cheq binding Toaster front pup Rear pup has adjustable pole-pieces Original black RIC case Bit of buckle-rash and a few scratches, given its age Minimal tail-lift [size=4][b]Fender Japan non-export '60s Jazz[/b][/size] Factory black with matching headstock and gold 'Fender' only logo. Bound neck Non-original Black hardware, apart from jack socket nut Non-original mint green plate Non-original Hopshot Lollipop keys Japanese Hot Rod pickups No case I also have for sale:- Fender Squier Modified lined fretless Jazz with gold plate hardware and Wilkie bridge Danelectro Longhorn guitar, 3 pups, in burgundy Please email me if anyone's interested in those. TBH, I'd rather not sell the '73 and am nervous as f*** just thinking about listing it. That said, I'd rather sell kit here as I will never sell on ebay again due to being stung twice in a month by malicous bidders So, any Qs, fire away, but please understand the sale of the Jap Jazz and '73 are not yet set in stone; this is just a feeler. Having said that, I'm still hunting for a V63 and if anyone is parting with one, left me know. No fat necks, though. Basses, that is! One last point: if any of these go to sale, overseas buyers [i]must[/i] arrange their own courier and insurance!

Stacker Posted March 7, 2010 Author Share Posted March 7, 2010 (edited) Re the Rick - I'm not sure, yet. It's 100% original and has the rare-as-hens' screw poles on the rear pup and you will understand the difference adjustable poles make on a Ricky, given the string imbalances we all hear about or have experienced. Nice, straight, correctly adjusted neck, too; no issues. Strung with .040-.095s. I'd rarther put this to PM offers than state a price. A respectable ebayer in Avon has one up there on da 'bay for £2250 as a start but I'm not sure that I could state that as a start, with all due respect. The bound Jazz - I'm looking for offers around the £600 mark. including UK freight. Insurance will be optional and additional to that if required.

supabock Posted March 7, 2010 Share Posted March 7, 2010 Hi, You dont have to withdraw your PM request, just post your prices i guess Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stacker Posted March 7, 2010 Author Share Posted March 7, 2010 I dunno what to post the '73 at, that's the thing! It's one of my several 'investment yet playable' guitars, ie vintage and non-pristine. I'm really nervous about floating this but I cannot see me wanting more than £2K for it; much more than that seems a bit unrealistic. Will see what they're going for on Gbase. That said, I know they'll be stupid prices. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you are so stressed about the price and putting it on offer or even selling it, do some research, get your prices right and come back to us.... its not like we are all going to hold you to a price on your bass and seek you out if you pull out of the sale..... You will also find that people on this forum will soon tell you if you are underselling, and that should reassure you that fair is fair.... Go for it, you have nothing to loose Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cocco Posted March 7, 2010 Share Posted March 7, 2010 I can vouch for that jazz being amazing. I have the same one in CAR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stacker Posted March 8, 2010 Author Share Posted March 8, 2010 Points taken, above. It's just that the '73 was one of the 'never sell' brigade. I'd rather, along with the Jazz, sell a few Telecasters but everytime I look at them I just can't bring myslef to do it. And, in any case, I won't go near ebay for selling ever again due to the nut-jobs that surf that site. I haven't heard back from the guy about the other instrument that's coming on the market; when I do, it'll determine whether these two go live or not. Will keep you posted.

Stacker Posted March 8, 2010 Author Share Posted March 8, 2010 Well it looks like the instrument I was after has been wihdrawn/sold eleswhere so the heat is off for selling these two! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xilddx Posted March 8, 2010 Share Posted March 8, 2010 This is the weirdest FS thread I have ever come across. Are you selling? Keeping? Showing off what you don't want to sell? or what? If I was a mod I think I would have moved it to the Gear Porn thread TBH. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stacker Posted March 8, 2010 Author Share Posted March 8, 2010 What's weird about it, chief? I think it's pretty clear it was a feeler which, at the same time, highlighted my nervousness of parting with the '73. As I stated in my last post, the bass I was sniffing around has gone, thus the '73 and the Jap Jazz are no longer for sale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
