All those prices were without shipping.

C'mon....£7.99 + £1.50 postage for a case key!!!!!!!

Sorry Godber...I wrote Accent & I meant trapeze.

I have edited my post.....

Thanks Johnny, I might take you up on that, sounds like a bargain.

I've just seen a trapeze tailpiece for....wait for it...£125!! I'm useless at metalwork, but give me bit of metal & a hacksaw & I could probably make a passable job of one.

Totaly crazy...

I know I've been out of it for a while, but scanning the Ric ebay listings, I can't believe the prices of parts. £26.99 for a set of vintage knobs!!! How can a small bit of moulded plastic be worth just over a fiver?? £7.99 for a case key!!! £24.99 for that little bridge cover...at least it's metal,...

Thanks once again everyone.

See what I missed?..I know...it's GREAT 'cause I haven't talked about Flarp in ages

I have used the Boss comp in the past & found it pretty versatile, but I agree that the harder the compression, the duller the sound. This is common in vca compressors & less of a problem with optical compressors (Joe Meek etc). The hum is almost certainly coming from elsewhere, as Boss foot...

OK, I overslept, but wow Joey.... 7880 posts!!

I'm glad that you gave Sarah an honest portrayel of me Aitch....I hope you left out the....well, you know :shock: I'm looking forward to being 'faceless', as the whole music business got me down a bit...well, actually a lot! I've been talking to a really great band, but they gig nationwide & I'm...

Thankyou all, It's great to be back. I still LOVE Rickenbackers above all others, they still excite me & thankyou so much for your warm greetings. A couple of things though...Peter, could you please help me with my Avatar?? & Howard...I seem to remember your legs as being slightly more hairy...

Thanks Mark. I don't really mind what sort of band it is quite honestly, I just want to play every now & again to keep up to speed, I've no great plans in the near future.

A lot of boats look like shipwrecks in Shaldom at the moment!

Yes, I'm still painting....

Welcome back Tony. I have heard a lot about you from Howard and Graham, so glad you are back on. I visit Teignmouth a lot as my Dad lives there. In a home now in Bishopsteighnton. Thankyou Sarah. Don't believe everything that Howard & Graham said about me!!!! Pop in for tea when you're next in ...

Turn my back for 2 minutes & I hardly recognise the place. Looks great though...really professional (not that it wasn't before). Nice 'n' easy to insert smiley faces (I bet that drives Paul MAD). I've had to do one of those avatar piccy type things for myself but I can't seem to get the quality ...

Thanks guys. Where have I been??, well, I'm not sure really. Time seems to move on & what used to be the norm gradualy changes for no particular reason...if you know what I mean. The big change to me is that I have given up my own band & am currently looking for a bass players position in a ...

I know it's late & I know I haven't been around for a while, but a very happy new year to all on the Ric forum. My new year resolution is to return to the fold & find out what I've been missing!!

Mine arrived this morning in sunny Teignmouth. Haven't listened to it yet....but I know what's on it!
