Not a big fan of Bose, but the QC15s seem to work quite well.

I spent about a year in the '80s gigging 4001s using RoS. Neck pickup into a MM 150 and MM 2x12 and bridge pickup into a Fender Bassman 10. Sounded brilliant, but to be honest the forearm/no contour problem defeated me and I went back to 4000s.

Just seen your thread. I guess you've probably bought your BC80 by now, but in case you haven't ... I bought one when they first came out. Easily the best small amp I've owned. Sounds great and goes loud. Small gigs should be fine ... unless you're playing with a drummer, of course. You might...

I only ever took a second bass to "important" gigs. Kind of gigs where there was actually a "promoter" who could get us more/better gigs. I never actually needed one. I broke two strings in the 30 years I was gigging regularly. Both times the adrenalin rush was so exciting I still remember them...

Sorry, is that five guitars or six? :) Sorry, I screwed up the quote. Meant for KCOLE4001. Supposed to be funny with a twin neck in the pic

I admire you. I always thought I should like Tru Bass, and I tried them on and off for about 25 years on so many basses. Always hated them. A few months ago on a visit to London I very briefly tried a fretless semi with them and it sounded pretty fantastic. Whatever you do, don't unwrap them...

I love lots of basses, including a couple that are no longer with me (a Fender and a Gibson, weirdly). But the best bass I've ever played (feel, playability, sound, looks) is the 4005 I bought at the start of 1978, and still have. It records beautifully, and at a gig it's the last thing you have...

Wow! They make fretless basses with that pattern on the fingerboard? Do you have any pics? They'd look wild.

Really kinda works for me ...

Not sure what it is, but how cool would a fingerboard be looking like that? (Edit: And how much would it confuse fretless players?) :hiding:

I understand the problem. In that case, I'd say go for it. If you don't fall for it, and you can't get your money back, I reckon you could sell it locally for a tiny profit to someone not willing to take the risk. I would recommend buying the case with it. I got to play three when I bought...

Sounds right to me ;) Very well made. A brilliant price (here), and a very nice case (don't tell a Coronado or Starcaster owner). Came with decent roundwounds that sounded pretty good. Had some Chromes on it for the last week (I've had it about three weeks), and they sound fantastic. But...

My second, I think, white bass, currently my only one. I do like it, though. And "Sawatdi pi mai" to you all!

You're a nice man.

As long as your go-to bass is a Ric you know you're on the right track. As soon as the bastards give me the password to the executive thread - hey, I know it exists - I'll pass it on to you ;) SIG: Very Old Fart with at least two Rics with chequered binding. (It's nice, but it's not life or...

Go for it (actively ... throw it down the stairs a few times!) Then all you need is another one with chequered binding and I can give you the password to the executive Rickenbacker thread. Oh, you'll need to disguise your 4003 (is that even a real Ric model designation?) by bunging in a...

Wow, sorry. I thought having two with chequered binding was a minimum club requirement. Is this the executive club? Sorry, I may be posting in the wrong thread. Whoops, just remembered, I'm not supposed to discuss it in public :ninja:

Oi ye! Aye ye! Wee Fender laddie! Ye keekin' mah fooking bass? (Edit to make it sound more offensive :-)

It's you and me against the world, jj. All I can say is the world better look out! :ninja:

Whatever they look like, I think Rics always look pretty. Sorry, I think the W just looks pig ugly.

Sorry. Do I win? :ninja:

Nice to know they've got proper Ric necks. Shame they don't have (I haven't seen one in the flesh) proper Ric looks (from all the pics I've seen).

buldog5150bass@me? Thanks. Wasn't keen on the colour when I bought it (it was the only cool bass in Bangkok 10 years ago) but it's grown on me since I put the snakeskin under the scratchplate :smug:

That semi gives me a semi ... very nice :bassist:

Cheers!

Does anyone know what size hole is best for metal?

I prefer a Longhorn ...

Fantastic colour! Might look very good on my 4000 that needs some TLC ...

I'm pretty sure what you meant to say was, "If my band members don't like the basses I play then I figure they are in the wrong band." :ninja:

Don't really care about the screws holes, just the posts. Whatever. Please remember me if you do get around to replacing them.

Let the keyboard player know that he will be hurt if his left hand comes out of his pocket, put a HPF on the guitars (play with the frequency to find out where it needs to be to avoid the bass line) and just make sure the bass and bass drum don't mess each other up.

I love a good tap dancer. Not in a band, though.

I'm sure you are correct. God, however, plays a Ric.

So ... er, how low will you go for the black one? :bassist:

Pretty please? I really love it more every day. And it's only been four days. But I really wanted an eight string in the '70s, but every one I found (maybe three or four) had badly screwed necks ... Actually it's five days ... and I have to say it's a fabulous bass. China? One of the best...

That's very cool. Enjoy.

Could I have a Bassman 10 instead please?

Don't normally like Fenders. That looks pretty cute, though. Enjoy!

Or the early live recordings when he played an Ibanez ...

Wha? When? Judas!
