In my opinion, a Geddy Lee Fender Jazz Bass is a must play- not one with the typically ****** set up from Guitar Center, but rather one set up properly. The one I have has the nicest neck of any bass I have, including a 75 4001 and a 97 4003.
I used to have that bass. They are very popular, but I ...

I can't believe my Buckeyes went down to Kentucky...I think I'm going to be sick

Thanks.

(fingers in ears)LA LA LA LA....I can't hear you!

Okay, the bass did not sell, and I have to admit, there is a small part of me that is relieved. Hearing your comments, I was starting to wonder more about what I was letting go. I began to ask myself, at what price point would I actually feel good about selling it and not so sacrificial about ...

Wow, now that's covering a lot of ground there! That would be a nice Ricky museum.

Wow Paul! What is it about looking at someone else's that makes me wonder what the heck am I doing selling mine?

John, I recommend getting the freeware called FastStone Photo Resizer. It's very easy to use, and one can set the maximum dimension of the image(s) to the required 1200 pixels easily. Plus it's very fast when it converts the images in batch mode. :)

Thank you very much doctorwho! That would be ...

Anyways, just wanted to give you a heads up on an easy and quick trick to downsizing pics: make a copy of the file (so you don't alter the original's quality). Right click on file -> "open with" -> "Paint". Once it opens, save the file (no need to change anything) and that's it.
Thanks jc-sz! I ...

Thank you ken_j!

Ah, I just noticed a lovely all black 4003 pop up on there. Has a near spotless finish on it, very highly polished and currently in Ohio, is that it?
Yeah, that's it.

Okay, so I know how to ...

I'd love to see some pics of that Jon. Sounds absolutely gorgeous :D
Hi markyl, Um... not sure which button under Post Reply screen to attach pictures. I clicked Img expecting it to have me browse my computer for the pics. I broke down and put it on eBay the other day (I know...what am I thinking ...

Thank you all for the warm welcomes and good information. I was once a member on here years ago, but due to years of inactivity (4 kids later...go figure), my previous account was no longer available. For a while, I was wondering if my memory failed me and I was a part of another existing Ric Forum ...

I have one of the all black 4003's (all black hardware, black trim, black pickguard and trussrod cover, etc) that they don't make anymore. It's in top notch condition. Any idea what would be a reasonable and fair amount I could expect to get for it if I decided sell it? It's not the Shadow Bass with ...
