Sercet Posted December 1, 2007 Share Posted December 1, 2007 Peter, How do you like the 64S? I have the C64 in fireglo. It's great.

GreeneKing Posted December 1, 2007 Author Share Posted December 1, 2007 [quote]4003 MG with VTC[/quote] Rickenbacker 4003 model in MapleGlo colour with Vintage Tone Control (a switch that puts a capacitor across the treble pot and gives more treble'ly 'clanky' sound).

GreeneKing Posted December 1, 2007 Author Share Posted December 1, 2007 [quote]How do you like the 64S?[/quote] It's one great bass Steve. The slimmer neck and vintage style pickups are a real asset. It also has a zero fret. Peter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ped Posted December 1, 2007 Share Posted December 1, 2007 Wow! I had no idea you had any Ricks, let alone 3!! Did Old Horse Murphy not get on with the CS then? Looks like a sexy collection - get them in before it rains!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As Alan Partridge would say: "It's a Mini Metro, they've just re-badged it, you fool". Actually that first one is the nicest Rick I think I've ever seen. Must be the binding. Normally I think they look as attractive as Anne Widdecombe but that one looks cool. All they need to do now is re-design it, so there's somewhere to comfortably put your right hand, and they've got a winner on their hands.

It means I play close to the neck but use of the switch/controls sorts that out for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skelf Posted December 1, 2007 Share Posted December 1, 2007 GO Pete go. Very tidy collection. Next time you are up bring one along I have played my friends 70's Rick but don't get on with it at all a newer one would be good to try.
