Peter,

How do you like the 64S? I have the C64 in fireglo. It's great.

Steve

Rickenbacker 4003 model in MapleGlo colour with Vintage Tone Control (a switch that puts a capacitor across the treble pot and gives more treble'ly 'clanky' sound).

It's one great bass Steve. The slimmer neck and vintage style pickups are a real asset. It also has a zero fret.

Wow! I had no idea you had any Ricks, let alone 3!! Did Old Horse Murphy not get on with the CS then? Looks like a sexy collection - get them in before it rains!!

It wasn't really for me Ped and once you see it with Peter's other 2, it looks like it's found a good place to stay now (despite the weather).

It was nice that you rescued it from the shop and passed it on to a good home!

I'm hoping someone will return the favour when they happen to discover one of Phil Lynott's Precisions at a Jumble Sale!!

Is that the soft-top with a 5-speed gearbox? As Alan Partridge would say: "It's a Mini Metro, they've just re-badged it, you fool".

Actually that first one is the nicest Rick I think I've ever seen. Must be the binding. Normally I think they look as attractive as Anne Widdecombe but that one looks cool. All they need to do now is re-design it, so there's somewhere to comfortably put your right hand, and they've got a winner on their hands.

My thumb rests on the top of the pickguard and then travels on the E A and D strings muting those above.

It means I play close to the neck but use of the switch/controls sorts that out for me.

GO Pete go.
Very tidy collection.
Next time you are up bring one along I have played my friends 70's Rick but don't get on with it at all a newer one would be good to try.
Cheers

He's a dark horse Ped, a very dark horse!! That's a great trio Peter and I have to say, the CS looks just fantastic!

mmm Rics make me feel all warm inside. Like a trusted friend.

Love the British weather too. Bo-lakes to the nay-sayers.
