'64 Rick case....

It is a scatterwound toaster. The hi-gains were too murky sounding to get a good fretless tone, the toasters fixed that. The gain is lower but that is not a problem for me, they are still plenty hot enough.

BTW, I am thinking of selling this bass.

So...what will it go for?

Thanks for the reply, Jeff. That is my experience with the high gains and toasters also. Clarity but less gain with the toasters.

I'll take the clarity any day over gain. I know where the volume knob is on my amp.

I agree with that so much I bought a toaster and unwound the bridge pup. Gave me pitch definition on the E string from open to A.

How much to have the seller of the '60s Rick case commited to a lunatic asylum?

The case of the nut case's case.

Sergio,

To take a quote...

RM1999 magic at it's most....

I nearly put in a bid of 350 UKP. That would have been like p***ing into the wind...!

i bought the case. it was the only thing that one of my 100% original RM1999's was missing. price was high yes but only because another bidder wanted it nearly as much as i. I'm happy

Wow, do you have photos of the RM 1999? with or without case..! You are a lucky chap.
