The red one is making eyes at me...
I always buy myself a bass or guitar for my birthday... hmmm.
What to do, what to do????

[mcnach]

ah, why not... deed done.

[Wooks79]

I could have been tempted by the green sparkle, but there was only one for some reason

[mcnach]

I was also tempted by this (also only 1!!!):


and this:





but I chose this one:


as I realised red basses look good on me

[bigsmokebass]

Hmmmmmm the 5'er is tickling my fancy lol

It took 3 hours to decide?

Surely everyone knows it's at max 3 seconds for a decision

When's it due to arrive?

[waynepunkdude]

I'm so tempted by the blue.

[Bassman Sam]

The blue one is lush.

I got a rv4 Ricky lookalike a while back , my particular one needed a good going over ,things like sharp edges on the fret wires, cheap toggle switch , other than that it was ok

[uncle psychosis]

Not convinced by the red...












...but I still fancy a shot when it arrives

Nice tho, liking the whole RickenFenderRay melting pot thing, starting to really like the look of the black 5 string. Don't expect a post at 2:20am saying done deal though

Nah it will be at 2:22am

[MarkG3]

To be fair they are strangely cool looking, I wonder how they sound?

[police squad]

I had the RV4. It looked like a rickenbacker with music man pickups.
It was an excellent bass. I used it in a Jam tribute band while I was depping for them.
Sold it recently. Very hard to sell as that annoying bloke ( I won't bother to name check him, he doesn't deserve it) from rickenbacker kept getting my ad pulled from ebay.
But the new ones do look interesting. Familiar but different

Watch out mate! You'll either get sued for a third of what you've got or tripled sued by the big three!

[Beer of the Bass]

It's a shame the five-string only comes in black, otherwise I'd be a bit tempted. They'd be a great candidate for a DIY stingray/sabre type preamp too,

[Spike Vincent]

I'd post pictures of mine,but I don't want the site to get in trouble...The only flaw I found was the selector switch,easily replaced.

[buff]

They need a rosewood board and block inlays to look the part really or at least a tinted neck, liked the green one though

Dammit good point - I could edit but bin quoted twice now tho so in for a penny... Anyway made it thru the night, cold turkey wearing off, I think I'm past the worst of the GAS now as long as JOSE DOESN'T POST A PIC WHEN IT ARRIVES.

[Darkstrike]

Dang tasty basses. I'm tempted to nab a 5er, but the other coloured ones are all so gorgeous.

Hi John,

it's actually on hold for a drummer friend of mine who announced on Friday that she wants to take up bass now.
I'm letting her have it for a couple of weeks to see whether she wants it. If she decides not to go for it I'll let you know.

I know, I'm ashamed.


I haven't heard from them, other than the automatic email "payment received, thanks". I imagine I'll hear more on Monday, so sometime during the week it should be in my hands.
