Rickresource Rickenbacker Forum

Here is my band Evertheory-we just released our new EP "Timelapse" for free download today.

This was recorded live with all of us in separated rooms. I used my Rickenbacker 4003 and the Boss GT10B.

Sounding very cool! I too use effects in the music I play with both of my bands!
Ever since I first started playing bass on an old Peavey Foundation bass (which I still have) I
always like to throw in effects! Lately my band Evertheory has been more of the platform
for my Boss GT-10B and EH P.O.G ...

It is always nice (and important) to see the face behind the products we all love! Well done.

These guys rock live, and are absolutely some of the coolest cats out here in LA!
I designed their logo and mascot "Rex" :)

Jeremy uses a FG 4003 and I believe an AG 4003.

Really cool guys and I am (still) learning a LOT from Jeremy's ...

When I want to play DEEP sounding notes, I brace it on the pickguard. Or I strum the strings just between the pickups and no thumb is needed at that point.
When I play more "articulated" passages, for lack of a better term, I actually brace it between the bridge
and the HS Pickup on the E string ...

Very Nice!

You have her fitted out like my '04, your bass' doppelganger, mine being MG. What strings do you use. This one has NOS RIC/Maxima flats on it.

Awesome MG, John!!! I use ghs boomers 45-100 rounds on my bass. I have yet to try flats.

Thanks- I was actually inspired to go to a local guitar shop that has 2 4003s on the wall (unmodified)---and wow. I really think that although they sounded great, I really like my tone more.

Since I am such a fan of colors (in general) from the 70s, I would have to say that Montezuma Brown. AutumnGlo is an amazing color as well. I wish I could have a 4001 in either of these colors.

Thanks Ken! I look forward to knowing you guys! Already from the welcomes alone, I think I can get used to the hospitality!

Another local bass player! Yay! We've kinda been outnumbered. By drummers, even. :shock:

Thank you woodyng. It really worked out well and is a very "different" tone!
