Others..........






Over the next few months, I should be able to finish the M-85, Epi Sheraton bass and my Starfire III bass.  The hollowness is overwhelming!!!!!!!!   :P

Thanks Chris, you're the 3rd. person to say that recently!  I am going to try to hang onto it.  Now we could work out a swap for that ugly, horrible sounding 4005 you have...... :rolleyes:

:) A friend of mine used to own one of two known Ronnie Lane Harmony's. He offered it to me, but I didn't have 2.000 English Pounds.

I hope the reissues will come to Holland.

I haven't seen much lately about the RI Harmonies.  I did hear they would be about $799 list.

I also love that Thunder jet...I've been real close to pulling the trigger on a couple of G2202 Electromatic Junior Jets...both with the TV Jones Mini-Humbucker.

Don't be misled. That's not a real TV Jones pickup on the Electromatic Junior Jet. It's allegedly "designed by" TV Jones, but having played one, IMHO it's just your typical import mini-humbucker. Not bad, but not TV Jones.

Also, the bodies are plywood. Just so you know.

Thanks.  The only solid basses I really like are T-Birds and the occasional Ric.  Otherwise, hollow is it for me!

Good to know!  A laminate body doesn't matter to me, but the pickup does.

Please keep your eyes open for my stolen 1973 Burgundyglo Rickenbacker 4001 Serial # MD1582. It was stolen in November of 2006. Reward for its return. Thx!
