Rickresource Rickenbacker Forum

Well, here is the beast!

After a few days playing at home at very low volume I took it to the rehearsal room last Thursday. I play double bass/ sing in a three member band in a kind of garage/surf/ rockabilly kind of stuff...so i was very curious to hear how the rik would perform in such scenario ...

Thanks guys
Will post some pics during the weekend and additional comments after first rehearsal
Have a good week

Bass arrived this morning ! …I knew I was taking a risk buying an instrument without trying it …but the price was quite good so I did…and I am so happy I did:) what an amazing instrument !
The finish and quality Are outstanding. The neck profile is simply amazing ! I come from playing a double bass ...

I know it is an old post, but I will be receiving one of the 35 units made for the Japanese market tomorrow morning! This one had a fretless conversion and seems almost unplayed...
Any other owners of this series?
