Rickresource Rickenbacker Forum

What's great about this bass is that I can use it. Earlier this year I sold my Blackstar which I had bought new (to someone on this forum.) I LOVED how it felt in my hands and how it sounded. But it had become too valuable as a collector's item to use so I let it go.

With this one, no such ...

Remeber the nude (stripped) Tuxedo sold on Ebay a while back? Well, it turned into a "Redneck Tuxedo".

It looks like an EB-3 with no pickguard. Not really all that rare. Think there's a black one on Ebay now.

Thanks for that Bob. That middle ground sounds perfect I'll give 'em a try. (I'm talking about a Guild JS-II with Darkstar pickups.)

Thanks.

Recalled some buzz around chromes here and did a search. Read the threads, but I'm left with a question. I'm looking to find some strings to put on a bass with two single coils that will not sound like my 4003. Reading the threads, i get the feeling that chromes will not be the best choice?

Nonetheless,there must be some good karma coming from my little Marshall stack that was said to have been used at a DP concert. http://archives.rickresource.com ...

Well said, Sean. Great point about close versus loud amping. It's easy to get too obsessed and forget what the point of the equipment is in the first place.


But, it's harmless fun, eh?

Sean,
Detaily question... is the 4x12" Marshall cab 13 or 18 inches deep? Thanks!

There's real wide divide between many folks here and those of us who don't mind a mod or two if it improves the sound or playability of a bass. I've recently learned the hard way that mods can affect values when you to to sell http://archives.rickresource.com/clipart/sad.gif But then, I sure wouldn ...

I doubt you will find a better deal Buggy. The best things take time...

Short scale. Not sure of the fret count.
