[quote name='pendingrequests' timestamp='1340107809' post='1699134'] Stereo DI's? for two basses? Not really needed in my opinion. [/quote] Stereo Rickenbacker outputs [quote name='Beedster' timestamp='1340108903' post='1699170'] Get the VTC installed, it adds a lot of options and really differentiates between the tone of the neck PUP and the bridge PUP. Go for the switchable circuit (push/pull bridge PUP tone pot) as opposed to the tone cap alone, as if you do the latter and don't like it, you'd have to uninstall. As for recording, I like to send the tone I want in rather than getting it afterwards as it changes how I play, but I might be the exception! Chris [/quote] Aye, the VTC does interest me and the press/pull version sounds like the way forward thanks Chris Ya not the exception there either [quote name='charic' timestamp='1340109707' post='1699188'] That's the way to do it [/quote] Definitely [quote name='BigRedX' timestamp='1340110796' post='1699219'] As far as recording goes I always try and capture the bass at multiple points in the signal chain. I play through my rig for what I hope is the correct sound - and as Beedster says the sound tends to affect how you play, but record the raw bass sound, a DI from the amp and if the environment allows it a mic in front of one of the speakers. In an ideal world either the amp or speaker track will be the one for the final mix, but if necessary I can always go back to the original raw bass track and either use an amp sim plug-in or re-amp and re-record. [/quote] Definitely Thanks for your replies, but I was thinking more in terms of recording the Rick stereo set up and if there were any plug-ins/presets any of you might suggest for this in particular. Am gonna have fun experimenting today anyway

Hi Guys, Totally new to the forum and ready for some music having finally landing a sweet 4003 from 2001 yesterday. I've taken tomorrow off work so I can plug in and start playing with some sounds. Will start with stereo DIs altho I have a Marshall guitar amp here too. Was wondering if anyone has any useful suggestions for plug-ins - I suppose firstly, I'd like to get close to Chris Squires' tone and then go from there. Being pre-2006, my rick doesn't have the Vintage Tone switch (although I am open to getting this added if anyone who has this can recommend it?) so will be looking at compression, EQ and distortion etc to start and it take from there. Any thoughts any of you would like to share would be appreciated. Thanks in advance

It is Gwen - very happy I got blisters on my fingers!!!

some snaps that don't do it justice but give an idea [url="http://www.klutzproductions.co.uk/webpics/rick1.jpg"]http://www.klutzprod...bpics/rick1.jpg[/url] [url="http://www.klutzproductions.co.uk/webpics/rick2.jpg"]http://www.klutzprod...bpics/rick2.jpg[/url] [url="http://www.klutzproductions.co.uk/webpics/rick3.jpg"]http://www.klutzprod...bpics/rick3.jpg[/url] [url="http://www.klutzproductions.co.uk/webpics/rick4.jpg"]http://www.klutzprod...bpics/rick4.jpg[/url] [url="http://www.klutzproductions.co.uk/webpics/rick5.jpg"]http://www.klutzprod...bpics/rick5.jpg[/url] [url="http://www.klutzproductions.co.uk/webpics/rick6.jpg"]http://www.klutzprod...bpics/rick6.jpg[/url] [url="http://www.klutzproductions.co.uk/webpics/rick7.jpg"]http://www.klutzproductions.co.uk/webpics/rick7.jpg[/url]

[quote name='debwilliams' timestamp='1340056483' post='1698547'] How long til we see some pics? [/quote] Ah am not great with a camera, let me see if I can grab a snap

[quote name='jaybass 70' timestamp='1340054345' post='1698481'] I'm happy that your happy dude, she is a beauty, lovely wood grain, great sound and in mint condition, couldn't ask for more I'd be well happy with her, happy days ! [/quote] It disconcerted me for a minute when you told the guy you'd give him 1200

[quote name='BassTractor' timestamp='1340055707' post='1698520'] Ah! I came here only to complain about you not having uploaded the vid of the drive to Bolton on YT yet, and now this ... Congrats! This is just great. I hope you have or soon get the amp to do it justice. Wait ... How did you type that without putting it down? [/quote] I jus let it sustain for a while n typed quickly It's mainly for recording, gonna need to pick some brains on here re stereo and some plug in suggestions for each channel. I have access to a tidy Trace Elliott whenever I need it but figure a straight DI of the neck pup and a marshall guitar amp or Pro Tools fx might jus work for what I'm after. I blame it all on listening to Chris Squire when I was 12

Thanks Lads! Bass is absolutely mint and couldn't be happier - tis a thing of beauty n sounds as good as she looks - can't put it down! thanks again jase for ya advice n for travelling with us

Thanks. Won that Mapleglo 4003 this morning on ebay for £1122. Bolton-bound tomorrow evening with jaybass 70 and, all being well, will have my dream bass at last

Thanks lads for the welcome. Being patient - just lost out on Stacker's 4001 a few weeks back - there's a tidy looking 4003 on ebay I'm watching from 2001. if it's meant to be, it's meant to be

Just wanted to say hello. I'm a friend of jaybass 70 (who has been helping me try acquire a Rickenbacker recently) and having drooled over some of your pics and reviews feel as if I've got to know a few of you already. Hopefully the right bass will turn up for me soon. In the meantime, hi!
