lou barlow lookalike?

yes, there's quite less of a rattle when I do that. So everything's green after all.

Aha! It DOES go away when I do what John proposes.


I also checked the mute assembly springs before that. That wasn't it. But I do have the same slight rattle on the C like Matt, though that's most probably another issue then. But so far so good, thanks guys.

hm... will check for that and report.

I don't know what this'll add to the discussion but hey it's Glover & a Rick with the cam on him during the solo to enjoy:

I just noticed something weird on my 2010 4003:

When I play two notes simultaneously about mid-neck, say for example the 12th fret on the D string and the 10th on the G string as a chord, I hear a rattling noise coming from the neck. When I play any of these notes solely by itself, I don't hear it ...

No not yet. I really want to avoid it because somehow in my head the Rick is built as it comes, more than any other bass. Which is my amateurish understanding with absolutely no scientific knowledge to back it up. This instrument just feels right the way it is, due to the string tension on the thin ...

ah you're talking about changing to a different set of strings, obviously. Could have thought of that myself.

Some bands take drop tuning too far. I auditioned with a group whose guitarist played in "drop C." It just seemed silly to me. I swear I'm going to come across a band sometime in my life that plays in "drop E." Actually, I read a post on a different forum where a guy was asking if, since his bass ...

Because I always get to play with guitarists that secretly want to play bass, I need a solution. I used to play drop D (on a stingray back then) but haven't done it for ten years now. And besides liking the feel and string tension of a standard tuning on my recently bought Ric (yes, me = Ric noobie ...

another one, actually my fave song:



awesome one note beat (yeah well, it's DISCO!) and considering the times and the style some quite extraordinary noise guitar parts.

Now that's some stylish Rick:





Wiki says he's Patrick Olive and he switched from congas to bass in '75. And what a bass it is, no?
