Triumph_Rock Posted July 10, 2021 Author Posted July 10, 2021 It's landed and sounds sweet. Excellent build quality, the tuners are something else, and the tones! 6 Quote

Woodinblack Posted July 10, 2021 Posted July 10, 2021 I almost got one a couple of months ago, and I keep going backwards and forwards about it, but until I have had a chance to play one I can't really justify it! Congrats on the new bass, hope it is great Quote

Congrats on the new bass, hope it is great It was really a case for me that I had been looking at basses online from Fender, Ibanez, Warwick. Then I got listening to Motorhead, wasĀ reminiscing how Lemmy is one of my main reason for picking up bass. My next bass had to be a 5 string. So I looked at 5 string Ric's online, found video reviews and read some reviews. So I pulled the plug on one. Big gamble, having never played a Ric before. But glad I did. I much prefer the look of the 5 string Ric than the 4 string. 1 Quote
PaulThePlug Posted July 11, 2021 Posted July 11, 2021 With a Five string.... '...Out to Lunch... and a Pudding!' Quote
Triumph_Rock Posted July 11, 2021 Author Posted July 11, 2021 Yes I've yet to learn a Motorhead song believe it or not!Ā Yesterday I tuned the bass to B, C#, G#, C#, f#. Bass of Doom! Quote

Just need to know if it is something that I can use first. I figure at some stage someone I know will have one and I can give it a try, I doubt I will ever see one in a shop! 1 Quote

Maybe give Ricky Sounds a try, the 5 string Ric has a vintage and modern tone range. I think it has some really usable tones, surely somewhere in the UK had one in. The new pick-up seem to do a great job of equal volume across all 5 strings. Quote
