Bassassin Posted October 2 Share Posted October 2 Obvious variation on the HB thing. Like the fact they've binned the nasty Chickenbacker hardware & electronics, don't like the fact they kept the nasty throwaway scratchplate 'design'. In other news, if you're in the Phillipines, you can get one of these: https://ddmusic.ph/product/dd-resurrecctor-bass-guitar-4s-salmon-pink/ For about £160, or a bit cheaper in white with a maple fretboard, and a bit dearer in green. Wonder how easy it is to import a bass from Manila? Or bring one back from a holiday trip... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MichaelDean Posted October 2 Share Posted October 2 I kinda like the look of these more than the HB one. Seems to be trying to be a bit different with not using the big bridge and the MM style pickups. The spec says it has a 38mm nut width, opposed to the HB's 43.6 mm width too.

Happy Jack Posted October 2 Share Posted October 2 'Ere, back when I were lad, all this round 'ere was a Ricky-free zone. That booger John Hall, 'e 'ad faster briefs than a whippet, if y'gets my meaning. Weren't none of this Chickenbacker nonsense back then, neither. Nay lad, Basschat knew its place back then, hiding behind t'sofa in case a writ come through t'letter box. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NikNik Posted October 2 Author Share Posted October 2 I'm also reminded of the Alden 'Beatbacker' Bass, which I owned for about an hour or so before requesting a return. The worst bass I ever had. Fret-sprout, rough finish, badly hacked scratchplate and noisy electrics. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

prowla Posted October 2 Share Posted October 2 TBH, if the one in the OP didn't have the pickguard you wouldn't be able to tell it was supposed to be a Ric-a-like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
