    For all of you Ric fans out there...

    Ever heard of Joszi Lak? He's a German luthier who came up with this Rickenbacker / MusicMan combination: I must say that I'm not a Ric fan in the least but this bass is stunning. Light years ahead of anything the factory is producing IMHO. [Actually, I do like the Cheyenne basses - both...

    Penco Ric copy.

    Just curious about this bass. One showed up in a city not too far from me, I have no intention of buying it so hey, if you're interested in it, by all means.... It looks like the pickup(s) have been changed, and there's this curious addition to the pickguard which I'm assuming is to raise or...

    Five string fretless ric

    Just saw this on eBay. 1987 Rickenbacker 4003S/5 Fretless 5 String Brilliant Chroma Red (SUPER RARE) Thought I would post it here just in case anyone was interested. It's not mine, no connection to the seller. Not cheap but exceedingly rare

    Ric 4003 With Lollar Horseshoe Pup?

    I am oh-so-tempted to pull the trigger on this but need to know if anyone has installed one on their Ric Bass and what their impressions were. Price-point aside. Just tonal remarks. Horseshoe Bass Pickups Thanks,

    Ric O sound vs. Crossover Box

    Hi folks, hoping this question is in the appropriate forum. I currently use a crossover (rolls SX21) to split my signal into two signal chains and use a wounded paw blender/mixer to combine the two signals before hitting the amp. Does the ric-o-sound function as a signal splitter with a fixed...

    Ibanez Black Eagle with added Ric Pup

    Hello everybody. I'm modding my Ibanez black eagle, which is essentially a jazz bass with a slightly small Pbass neck of maple and a mohagany body, to have a Seymour Duncan Srbib at the spot between the jazz pups. I've always loved the idea of Ric's, dual mono outputs and the Eagle is definitely...

    Ric price high for condition ... or was it?

    A local shop had a '75 4001 Burgundyglo with belt rash so bad a big blotch was bare wood, and the back of the neck had been sanded (or more like roughly scraped) down to bare wood. Seemed OK otherwise, but I was surprised by the price given the rough history. It already sold and I wasn't in...

    Copy cat - Another Ric from Wildwood

    a pleasure to deal with. I had them install fesh chromes as a part of the setup. Easy and sweet. I on the other hand did not know to ask about removing the pickup cover - so I did that myself. also ordered a thumbrest/bezel from tubeampology. For a Ric it's pretty restrained looking which...

    GAS pains: Ric 4003SW or USA Geddy Jazz?

    I have the chance to get either a Rickenbacker 4003SW or a USA Fender Geddy Lee Jazz for a good price. I think both are beautiful instruments and I like the features of both, but I've never seen one in the flesh. Here's my conundrum: I already own Rics and Jazzes, including a 4001, a 4003 and...

    Rickenbacker Guitar-Style Pickguard

    I was browsing the internet the other day and I came across a picture of a 4001 or 4003 that had a John Lennon-inspired custom pickguard. I can't find the image now, and was hoping the ranks of talkbass could help me find it, and give some opinions on it!

    So I was bored today and decided to try out a different Guitar Center about 30 minutes away, instead of the two close by me. This store had a much larger bass selection and several high-quality basses that were not posted online! They had two Rickenbackers that cost about $1800. One was a...

    Labella 760FL string tension Vs. Stock Ric 4003 String tension?

    I searched for about 1/2 hour but no luck. Anyone know the Tensions for 760FL's and Stock Ric 4003 strings. I just put a new set(760FL) on 2016 RIC 4003 and I love them. They do seem to have raised the action just a bit. This makes me think the 760's tension is higher. It does play really...

I'd owned a number of 4003's...
