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

Would consider bass trades of the same value... Or just cash...

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

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

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.

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.

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

Why not email Mr John Hall at Rickenbacker? I'm sure he'd welcome any suggestions, him being such a good listener.

Yes, a 4005 for around 500 quid would make me a very happy camper indeed.
[/quote]hehe same with me and a 4001s

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.

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

thanks dude

Have been listening to quite a bit of beatles at the moment, and was checking out the hofner violin basses, and think its great the way they make the more affordable ignition and contemporary series for people who don't want to spend thousands on their instruments I personally think rick should do a similar thing, i.e a copy of their Rickenbacker 4001/4003 bass but built in say Indonesia? surely they would sell quite well?
