What's your favourite bass you've ever played/owned and why.... Mine is my jaydee supernatural roadie 1981, reason being my dad gave it me a few years ago and I pretty much learnt everything I know now on it, and it plays itself, sounds awesome Aswell

Basschat, statii, eBay, Instagram, twitter

Dude sounds awesome!!!!! Great playing too

Correct

This i think is a great cover of the bass like Paul mccartney laid down on benefit of mr kite http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=vwg2W_FsWPY

Great basses these, I bought one because of how great it looked, sounded and played not because of the mate Mendel link, would have another one day if I could afford it

[quote name='gjones' timestamp='1385076387' post='2284345'] This started life as an old Squier P bass body that a friend of a friend chucked away. It was covered with stickers and accumulated gunk but I really wanted a P bass. I scrubbed it down, gave it a respray in vintage white, added some CTS pots and a well seasoned, 1970's Mighty Mite Precision neck (from the first bass I bought secondhand 30 years ago), plus a split pickup from the same bass......and we're cooking. Sounds and plays fantastic. I love it. [attachment=148954:DSC01369.JPG] [/quote] That looks great!

But I have sent rickenbacker an email

Hehe was just an idea guys

[quote name='Bassman Sam' timestamp='1384914201' post='2282342'] You got a death wish? " Dear Mister Hall, Can you please make a budget Korean copy of your famous bass so I can sell it within 2 days." Thanks Marcus. [size=4] [/size] [/quote] Haha love that ^^ I just think that squiers and stuff are great if you like the sound and appearance of the big American brand but can't afford the real thing

I'll drop him a quick message

[quote name='skankdelvar' timestamp='1384893496' post='2282060'] Why not email Mr John Hall at Rickenbacker? I'm sure he'd welcome any suggestions, him being such a good listener. [color=#ffffff].[/color] [/quote]got an address?

[quote name='miles'tone' timestamp='1384889436' post='2281966'] Yes, a 4005 for around 500 quid would make me a very happy camper indeed. [/quote]hehe same with me and a 4001s

[quote name='Beer of the Bass' timestamp='1384886491' post='2281918'] They would sell very well indeed, and if they used some of the better Korean factories they could be excellent instruments. It's not going to happen under the current ownership and management of the company, however. That's just not their business model.

[/quote] would be pretty awesome! would probably get one myself at somepoint, as I love some of the tones that people like McCartney, squire, etc got from the ricks

[quote name='andydye' timestamp='1384886262' post='2281912'] We know the far east is well capable of making basses that look very much like a rick don't we [/quote] knew that was coming at somepoint
