Saw some extra pix. A really nice bass. Sadly, some additional wedding costs have forced me to pass. A rare colour that I will surely hate myself for passing up on later.

PM'd

Sort of a "holy grail" search. I'll buy one new if I have to, but I figure why not take a used one off someone's hands if they're not playing it much--gains from trade, ya know? I'm @ Toronto, Canada, but I don't mind purchasing from the U.S. This is just for your benefit (in case you don't...

Great basses, these all-wenge-neck thumbs. Funny, mine has that same wear right above the neck PU.Anyone who purchases this will not be disappointed. Best of luck with the sale!

Bickety bam! Some great fretless plans for this puppy.

Does it come with the screws?

Any dings on the back of the neck, and would you ship to Canada via USPS? Also, what are you looking at in terms of 'form of payment'?

Alright. Here's the skinny. I've ordered two all maple satin nitro necks from warmoth just to get the nitro finish (one bass, one guitar), but like you, I wanted gloss. To get it, it's simple. Buy some Virtuoso Cleaner, and any kind of polish you like. I prefer the Ken Smith Wax, or Virtuoso's...

What's the finish on it? You're ruinin' me, buddy. I was just perusing the Warmoth site contemplating a jazz build. Their tele bass neck (jazz nut width) is one of my favourite necks I own. It has made a killer P-Bass. I'm considering an all-wenge jazz neck, being as I love my all-wenge...

Link Removed I "built" this one (from parts, hence the quotes), and designed the circuit. It's not much, but it gets done what I need. The circuit is my 'coarse/fine' set up. It's a master volume, master tone, varitone. The Varitone allows me to adjust the tone at a coarse capacitor level...

Thanks. The machinist route was a way I was hoping I didn't have to go, because it'll be quite a bit of legwork to find someone who will take on such a small job. I'll look, though. I've ordered a pair of 4003 spacers, them being as cheap as they are, and I'm going to try and shape them with...

Thanks for the reply! I've been everywhere on that forum, and no luck yet. It's definitely an original part. The issue was that the two holes in the spacers were not lined up properly, which causes the one end of the spacer to angle downward into the wood. I'm indeed aware of how to adjust...

Hi All, I just recently purchased an '81 Ric 4001, but the original aluminium spacer that the truss rods bear down on was machined poorly (extremely off-line, strange that the RIC QC missed this...), and doesn't let the truss rods act properly, leaving an undesired bow in the neck. Does...

It's pretty sweet, I agree! I've long been aware it wasn't Bubinga, but if it's ovangkol, it's nothing like the stuff you see nowadays. The grain is so much more detailed, wavy, and has much more character. I'm going to have to submit an e-mail to them when I get more pictures, since there...
