SignsOfDelirium_bassist Posted July 31, 2010 Share Posted July 31, 2010 Not my pic, unfortunately, I didn't get it together to go to any festivals this year (so far)...But I saw this picture of (as far as I know) Korpiklaani's bassist playing at this years Metal Camp (Feel free to laugh at the pathetic festival name, I do realise how silly an childish it makes the festival sound lol) What d'ya reckon? Custom build? Or is there a company out there making 5 string rickenbacker look-a-likes? And with jazz pups too? Sounds too good to be true for non-custom if you ask me...

Stacker Posted August 1, 2010 Share Posted August 1, 2010 (edited) Custom build, without a doubt. There's a logo on the headstock but I can't make it out. There is a guy in Italy doing some really good Rick copies but i'm not sure if this is one as his are pretty much identical. John Hall will be getting his keks in a twist and calling his lawyers if he sees this! Edited August 1, 2010 by Stacker Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delberthot Posted August 1, 2010 Share Posted August 1, 2010 (edited) It seems to have a bit of a Jaydee look about it [url="http://www.jaydeeguitars.com/calibas-head.php"]http://www.jaydeeguitars.com/calibas-head.php[/url] Edited August 1, 2010 by Delberthot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bassassin Posted August 2, 2010 Share Posted August 2, 2010 Following a link on Korpiklaani's website & putting 2+2 together, I'd bet it's an [url="http://www.amfisound.fi/frameset_eng.htm"]Amfisound[/url]. I can't find the actual bass on the site but they've built a couple of custom Rickalikes for other Finnish bands, and the little round logo looks right. Jon.

Stacker Posted August 5, 2010 Share Posted August 5, 2010 (edited) Well done, Bassassin. The other Rick rip-off I was alluding to was Handyman Guitars, according to a friend of mine who spotted one being used ina Italian Genesis tribute band. I can't find anything about Handyman on the net but here's the photo. Also, here's a link to some guy who built a replica of Mike Rutherfords, non-Rick doubleneck! [url="http://williamyoungguitars.com/rutherforddoubleneck.htm"]Rutherford Rick[/url] BTW, the Finns love their metal, don't they??

SignsOfDelirium_bassist Posted August 5, 2010 Author Share Posted August 5, 2010 (edited) well as far as I know only finland have entered a metal band into the eurovision....so yea, I'd say they do, haha. Excellent findings there bassassin! That company have some crazy guitars though...30 fret 8 strings? seriously...I'm all for extreme noodling, but that's just silly Edited August 5, 2010 by SignsOfDelirium_bassist Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Voitto Ankka Posted September 27, 2010 Share Posted September 27, 2010 Terve! Sorry for lifting this topic up again. Here's the link to some better pictures of that Amfisound: [url="http://amfisoundgallery.com/JarkkoAaltonenKorpiklaani/index.htm"]http://amfisoundgallery.com/JarkkoAaltonen...laani/index.htm[/url] If you have any questions about that feel free to ask. I [i]should[/i] know the answers since it is after all [i]my[/i] bass. I think I also may have some "making of" pictures if anyone's interested. j.
