Rickenbacker vs Fender (Side by Side)

Face it Brian you are a closet bass player.....

Did I mention that the fretless Aria Sinsonido has lines on the fretboard................... Sorry Joey. I could not resist.

After many years of playing guitar I got into the habit of not looking at the fretboard, so it took me a bit of time to get used to playing a fretless bass. I love the sound of an upright on jazz numbers and this bass gives me that sound.

WHAT?!
Get outta the bass forum! I knew that already!

Your fretless bass performance and recording on my version of Georgia still takes my breath away Joey. You did a great job my friend. Gotta love those Rick fretless basses.

OK I am leaving the bass forum now................

Trying to schmooze me to get back in here, eh?
Thanks!

My 4003 came all the way from Virginia to me a few years ago. It was perfectly setup when it arrived (and still mostly in tune) and I have not had to do anything to it at all set up wise. It's still as good as the day Ron shipped it. I love that bass btw.

Hearing that always brings a smile to my face Brian...

Ron,

To my ears, your old bass is the nicest sounding Rick that I have ever played. I just love that bass. I could never thank you enough. It is just what I wanted.
