munkonthehill Posted January 7, 2012 Posted January 7, 2012 for the mass amount of Rics that you buy and sell on here and gumtree I cant believe you have a copy in the house hahahaha. All the best with the sale.
chrismuzz Posted January 7, 2012 Posted January 7, 2012 Shine basses are ridiculously good for the money. This is bound to be the best deal on a Ric or Ric-a-like anyone'll see for a long time!
geofio Posted January 7, 2012 Author Posted January 7, 2012 (edited) hi munkonthehill. well i will tell you this copy sounds better than half the rickenbackers i have owned , and i aint kidding, the e string on this bass is just awesome and it growls very nicely, i tried some new ricks in glasgow recently and most of them had dud e strings quite bad to be honest for the dosh you fork out. anyway whoever ends up with the shine will own a decent bass the pups are just fantastic on this. cheers george ps you still got your 4003??

Stacker Posted January 7, 2012 Posted January 7, 2012 (edited) Every Ric I've owned - bar the 4001CS - had a weak output on the E. Which reminds me about [url="http://www.kjmagnetics.com/proddetail.asp?prod=D401"]this[/url] recommendation I heard that some Yanks are using. Must try it out on the V63. Good luck with the sale.

Stag Posted January 7, 2012 Posted January 7, 2012 My 4001 is weak on the E, but my 4003 is very very loud with the E. Oddness. Ive never seen a Shine take on the Ric before... Interesting
