Rickresource Rickenbacker Forum

(I read somewhere that a bassist for the Bee Gees did this live; the paint eventually wore thin on the horn and he repainted his Rick white as a result). A long time member of this forum owns that bass. Though, I haven't seen him post in a long time. As to the OP's question: your Rick is made almos...

I'd much rather see a '64 plate on this bass than a '73.

Nice! Love the way the peghead looks.
Do these come with checker binding now?

Right. It's the clearcoat, not the blue.
Same as "blacklighting" a vintage instrument to check for an original finish.

Looks great! Congrats!
Love the "S" basses!

Your Jet 4001 looks great!

Works for me!

Certainly a warning flag.

Yes, subway 15. I had intention of getting a Subway 2x10 to go with it, but never got around to it. I do still have an Ampeg SVT-210 cab that sounds fantastic paired with the 15.
Not sure why that one is sideways.

Pretty pricey for all the changes.

A few years ago I downsized to a Mesa Subway D800+ with a single 15 cab. My absolute favorite amp!
Unfortunately, I only got to gig it twice before retiring.

That sideboard is beautiful!
