cheers bass Tractor

this one will be staying with me spongebob. cheers

my problem is mechanical, the nerves coming off my spinal cord are being crushed by bone so no cures, it is too dangerous to operate on so physio and pain killers are my only option. my mind is settled now i am happy to have a rick and had great fun playing last night, that bass is just a pleasure to play. before it was the thought of the cost of the 4003 versus use!!! i dont care now happy to have the bass and enjoy it when i can. thanks for all the comments guys. George

cant argue with that.

i intend to beedster, i have realised they are part of me , just feel lucky to have a great example. cheers

thanks for all the comments guys, i appreciate them. the neck on this one i would say is fairly skinny, i had tried the limited run of walnut burst models and those necks were really chunky my opinion, the grain on the neck is just incredible the caribbean rosewood, the E string is spot on on this bass also, always a worry on rics. honestly no complaints with this bass growling straight out the case, all i had to do was raise the treble pickup slightly and restrung with rotosounds. excellent bass. very happy to have a rickenbacker at my side, i had great fun today playing and was pain free. thanks guys. George

Cheers guys, i will be playing sitting down, and will play as long as i can, better than not playing at all, and the rickenbacker is a beauty, i feel normal again lol, i tried using a cheap bass, just was not the same.

As a few of you guys know i was diagnosed with a nerve condition affecting my neck and was advised to give up playing bass!!!, i have always had a rickenbacker 4003 with me the past 30 years, sold the ones i had on basschat. but as the weeks went past i just had to have a rick in the house i cant explain. so managed to get a new 4003 today only manufactured 3 weeks ago!!! first time mapleglo for me and i must say the quality is outstanding as is the tone and i am fussy. this one came direct from the Rickenbacker rep in the uk . it is just flawless, i feel normal again i was getting all frustrated not having a 4003 in the house lol, glad to see it back.
