    Sweet, they look nice, never heard of them before. I thought i saw the tell tale scroll headstock of a Washburn... 'twas just the shadows. Could never get my head round frettless bass (despite have reasonable intonation - played trombone in my earlier youth) so stickin' with my fretted Ricky :D

    I'm really hit and miss with the thing, some days I can play it relatively ok, others I'm just 'off' somehow – the fact that it doesn't have fret markers is well scary, its got dots on the top neck binding, but that's it. I find it harder to play in tune the higher up the neck I go – I'm ok to about the 10th 'fret' but things get quite variable pitch wise above that.

    Which Rick have you got? I love the 4001 and would really like to own one, they have such a nice solid weighty sound.

    Tony.

    Funny you should mention the 4001... cause it's a 4001 :D '82 I think (the serial number tracking is a bit crap on the Ricky site). They are very versatile, the difference between the bridge pick up and the neck pick up is startling. I'll take a picture after if I can find the damn camera. There's a couple of dings in the neck but I got it for a really good price.

    My faith has been restored, although there are a few shockingly bad carpets around here.... :)

    And their bigger brother LP sized one! :)


    More people than I thought have wooden floors (albeit with a rug), and a lot of people with what looks like far from ideal speaker positioning...

    Could it be WAF at work? :)

    My front room/hifi room is the only room in the house to have carpet. Everywhere else is either floorboard or tiles. Its a bit annoying though, I have a kind of half-bay window, which I share with the ajoining terrace, and my speakers have to go along that wall.

    I'm constantly pissing around with the balance control, one day I'm going to get my mics out, send some tone down the speakers, and balance the volume down to the last tenth of a decibel.

    Or get a good surround system, so you can seat almost anywhere without worrying with image... ;)

    Carpet is not to higienic, particularlly if you or the kids have allergies, rugs are easier to clean... :MILD:

    Well, I don't have any allergies, mainly because I'm not the kind of person who sprays air freshener around the house, bleaching every surface that I've breathed on, or roasting food to 6500degrees before I eat it.

    I haven't suffered any other illness than a cold for 20 years.

    That computer speaker has to go somewhere else!

    I also want to replace the rack with something in beech but no-one wants to buy the damn thing :(

    Chris, is your harddrive providing the tunes?

    I use the mac wuite often its all connected up and I just set itunes to random, or pick a radio station from across the pond.
