Darcy Posted August 25, 2008 Share Posted August 25, 2008 Now my GAS addiction has finally drained me of spare cash with the latest addition to the family.. A 1976 Rickenbacker 4001 A few crackels, pops and buzzes, a couple of well rusted screws that need attention. Haven't played it live yet but a fellow bass player tried it out at their sound check (open air gig in Buckingham) on Sunday and went all glassy eyed and went on about his he sold in 1978, so it cant be bad. I havn't found that elusive "clank" yet, but close. [attachment=12641:DSCF2345.JPG] [attachment=12642:DSCF2347.JPG] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stingrayfan Posted August 25, 2008 Share Posted August 25, 2008 Nice stash - it looks like a guitar shop! Can't get on with Ricks myself but I'm loving that green backline. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cd_david Posted August 25, 2008 Share Posted August 25, 2008 That Ric is the best colour they've ever done, absolutely stunning. Regarding the "clank tone" A new set of strings all controls on full and a bit of bass boost on a LOAD amp! Failing that and you don't get on with it, sell me it LOL Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Added some good bottom end, I'm there the Chris Squire, Bruce Foxton, all the tones are just there. Sorry no sale. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
