Thanks that looks like it will do the trick!

I was wondering if anyone knows of a volume pedal that takes a TRS input from a Ric and splits the signal to two mono outputs. I have a home made Rickosound which is great but I’ve just bought a Helix Stomp and I’d rather use the expression for switching snapshots than volume. If I could get a ...

Thanks guys, tried it the other night works perfectly, very pleased with it. Just trying to get a sound on the fretless which is as good as the fretted using stereo!

I had my luthier make me a stereo splitter along the lines of the Rickosound. I just did the graphics!

Well I got the bass back and apart fron the new binding being a wee tiny touch lighter it looks great and much easer for me to play.

Hi Thanks for all the replies

On an upright bass, there are reference points, such as the neck-to-body joint that helps provide references as to wherre you are on the fingerboard. However, the electric bass' fingerboard is so long with nary a reference that dots really are required.

This is ...

My '92 4003FL FG has side dots where frets would be. The board dots 5/7/9/12/etc are "in-betweeners." I think the change may have been early 2000's, was unpopular, and went back... I had a 2007 4003FL AFG which IIRC was like the 92 but I could be wrong. Gonna go check register pics....

My bass is ...

I think Fireglo is the most stunning of all the Ric finishes.

Thanks!

Jimmy Egypt is very good he did some work on a couple of my basses.

And Dave Grant in Dunfermline

If you haven’t already got this sorted I can recommend a couple of guys in Scotland.

they had great service and back then just about everyone who worked in the Music departments were themselves active musicians. I used to bump into a lot of the folks at Burn's Howff on West Regent Street on a Saturday after the shop shut.


Wow a bit of Glasgow musical history there, I’m a bit ...

Hi

Always nice to see a fellow Scot here, I bought my first Ric (my 73) from McCormacks Music, still have her too.

I remember McCormacks well sadly not there any more. I'm afraid I didn't have the cash for a Ric back then. I'm relatively new to the Ric, I picked up a fretted 4003 about 6 or 7 ...

Thanks for the reply!

Yeah just stickers I’ve cleaned them off.

I can't really tell but my guess is they are in the between fret location like a bass that had been de-fretted.

That’s exactly the case, I’ve had loads of fretless basses and it’s the first time I’ve seen this! I read that some ...
