Jeff I think you're except from this one because you have one of every Ric bass ever made in the history of ever making them plus one.

Actually, I only have four:
'67 4005WB
'73 4001
'98 4001V63
'08 4003
See that's not every one!
Just a perfect selection! I do also use my Zon, Rick Turner, Fender, Yamaha and Höfner basses, occasionally.

If only you can hear the sobs I'm sobbing Jeffster.
That's quite the collection. Doesn't Andy Bell (I think thats his name), the bassist for Oasis play a 4005? I know Larry Grahm played one in the early days of Sly and the Family Stone

Re: Playing positions and pickup selection
I have seen vids of both using a 4005; Mani Of the Stone Roses also plays one. John Entwistle, and Nick St. Nick of Steppenwolf also played 4005s.

You really need to pick up a 4004, then you'd have everything that really counts...jps wrote:Envious?Prowl wrote:Jeff I think you're except from this one because you have one of every Ric bass ever made in the history of ever making them

I'll trade you my 4004Cjj for your 4005WB...
I have NO idea what to do with those skinny stringed things... I'm just a bass player...
Re: Playing positions and pickup selection
I used to have a 4004Cii, great bass but I wasn't getting along with the big neck on it. If the neck dimensions were the same as that on my thin neck 4001/3 basses I'd still have it. As it is, I have the odd number models.

Re: Playing positions and pickup selection
After tonight my fingers aren't so silky. They hurt from repeating the same bassline 8 times until I got it right. Sounds good now though. For my recordings I run my bass plugged into an M Audio interface and go right into Ableton Lite 7 from there I use a custom EQ and some compression to achieve my sound. As I said before I play with my treble pickup only with the tone wide open. I use the stereo jack because for some reason it gives my bridge pickup more output. For live stuff depending on what I'm doing I have my bass in the same configuration, either going into my small Behriger combo amp ( for small jams,) or my protoype HiWATT Bass 100 head and Ampeg V4 cab with 4 Fender green back 12s. . . I'm a quarter English on my father's side. What can I say?

Re: Playing positions and pickup selection
Send me any tracks you want me to listen to, Miles.
Coming from a guy whose last name is English, I think you are probably allowed to say "fish and chips" at least once a day, and "pub" is permissible weekly. However my traceable background doesn't actually have any immediate English people in it, just Welsh and Scots-Irish, so my opinions on what you (as an English) can say are probably vulgar and foolish compared to those of the pure-bloods.Prowl wrote:I'm a quarter English on my father's side.

Re: Playing positions and pickup selection
"Effing ****** (effing of course substituting F@#king)", calling my bosses "Beaters" or "*******", "pub", "mate" "Fish, chips and crisps" and even "take away" are said by me quite frequently . . . that's weird. I actually do have a new track for you to listen to Shua I'll send it your way right smartly gov'nacassius987 wrote:Send me any tracks you want me to listen to, Miles.
