The video is a very fair representation of the sound. I absolutely love using a plectrum, it simply ticks all the right boxes for me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris90 Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 Beautifull bass. Is this one USA made? the 6119B? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
munkonthehill Posted February 4, 2012 Share Posted February 4, 2012 I hadnt really thought of selling my Ric. However if anyone is reading this and wants to buy my ric for Michaelg's asking price then I would let it go and then buy this bass.

munkonthehill Posted February 12, 2012 Share Posted February 12, 2012 I'm unsure of this short scale malarkey! I'm playing a MD sig p-bass and a 4003 ric. Are these basses long or short scale?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know of an official description, so the following is 'about'...Short-scale is around 30-31", medium is 32" and long around 34" (extra long is 35" and up) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] Its brilliant once you get the hang of it in the words of wikipedia: On a modern bass guitar, 30" (76 cm) or less is considered short scale, standard (also called long) scale is 34" (86 cm) for a 4-string and 35" (89 cm) for a B-E-A-D-G 5-string. I think your Rics scale length is [color=#000000][font=sans-serif][size=3]33.25 making it technically a short scale!

munkonthehill Posted February 12, 2012 Share Posted February 12, 2012 What a short arse. No wonder the P-bass picks on it. Infact, I just realised I ain't played the ric since I got the P-bass hahaha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tom1946 Posted February 13, 2012 Share Posted February 13, 2012 I often send basses without a case, not difficult just a bike box cut down and lots of scrunched up paper etc' Bombproof Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
