ash Posted June 20, 2020 Share Posted June 20, 2020 I’d say they were incredibly dissimilar but an interesting bass nonetheless 😉 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got it at a car boot - remember them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheGreek Posted August 12, 2020 Share Posted August 12, 2020 Nothing to do with me...At £1600 it seems a bit too good to be true TBH. https://www.gumtree.com/p/guitar-instrument/1982-usa-rickenbacker-4003-bass-sunburst/1381358788 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd looked at it earlier in the day, but I don't want to spend more cash just now. (A couple of weeks ago it was a set of Moog Taurus I was having to hold back from buying!)

prowla Posted December 12, 2020 Share Posted December 12, 2020 The 5-string is an interesting one - the neck is a bit chunkier, but it is very playable; I really need to put a new set of strings on it to see where it takes me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walshy Posted January 23, 2021 Share Posted January 23, 2021 I have been after a Burgundyglo 4001 Ric for ages, but never seen one for sale within a budget. Something made me look at Bass Direct tonight, about 15 minutes ago and this popped up. All original and its a 1975 ( my YOB ) so its now mine, or it will be when it gets delivered. Man I am super happy. Don't think its a bad price either at £2250. I now cant wait for it to arrive 😁 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The hairpin truss rod system is great; the only issue is when people assume it works like a Fender. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I can understand that, at least with a Fender truss rod you know that you loosen it is the buzz is on the first few frets and tighten if it is in the last few frets, nice and simple Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
