JustaBass Posted April 20, 2020 Share Posted April 20, 2020 (edited) Recently got a Ric in pillar box red been ages since ive had a Rickenbacker.... Looks like the new designed bridge too..... it has threaded rollers, already changed the string spacing and its an allen key for height adjustment and for intonation when moving the sadles.. Plenty of adjustment room up and down. 👍 Definitely a better design and saves me buying the new babicz Ric bridge when it comes to market☺️. Now do i get a nordenbocker... 🤔🤔🤔 😁 Edited April 20, 2020 by JustaBass 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JustaBass Posted April 20, 2020 Author Share Posted April 20, 2020 Have ordered a treble bezel cove then i can play it where i want... Over that back pickup 👍. I would imagine Rickenbacker will offer this bridge as an alternative to grab back some business from hipshot and babicz 🤔 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grahambythesea Posted April 20, 2020 Share Posted April 20, 2020 Have they got any lighter? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
6feet7 Posted April 20, 2020 Share Posted April 20, 2020 I wonder if they'll make that bridge for the 5 stringers. As much as I love my 4003SW-5, the Schaller bridge just doesn't have that iconic Ricky look Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ezbass Posted April 20, 2020 Share Posted April 20, 2020 Now that bridge is an improvement. I never really had an issue with the old one, a pain to set, but once done, no real dramas. However, the new one looks the biz. Who says the Hall dynasty don’t listen? 5 stringers, new bridges, what’ll be next? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustaBass Posted April 20, 2020 Author Share Posted April 20, 2020 Have not weighed the bass yet but seems ok to me... 👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markoire Posted April 20, 2020 Share Posted April 20, 2020 Wow that’s the cats pyjamas! Great colour and the new bridge looks like a massive improvement. I have a 1980 4001. Great player, but the bridge is a complete derrière ache to adjust. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cat Burrito Posted April 20, 2020 Share Posted April 20, 2020 Welcome to the Red Ric Club! I love that fingerboard! Here's mine which is a bit modded these days; 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
White Cloud Posted April 21, 2020 Share Posted April 21, 2020 (edited) I absolutely love and hate Rick's in equal measure; gorgeous lines, THAT sound, THAT vibe ... I owned 2 back in the day and I miss them, and am also glad I got rid of them! So confusing!!! Edited April 21, 2020 by White Cloud Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
