cant argue with that.

i intend to beedster, i have realised they are part of me , just feel lucky to have a great example. cheers

thanks for all the comments guys, i appreciate them. the neck on this one i would say is fairly skinny, i had tried the limited run of walnut burst models and those necks were really chunky my opinion, the grain on the neck is just incredible the caribbean rosewood, the E string is spot on on this bass also, always a worry on rics. honestly no complaints with this bass growling straight out the case, all i had to do was raise the treble pickup slightly and restrung with rotosounds. excellent bass. very happy to have a rickenbacker at my side, i had great fun today playing and was pain free. thanks guys. George

Cheers guys, i will be playing sitting down, and will play as long as i can, better than not playing at all, and the rickenbacker is a beauty, i feel normal again lol, i tried using a cheap bass, just was not the same.

As a few of you guys know i was diagnosed with a nerve condition affecting my neck and was advised to give up playing bass!!!, i have always had a rickenbacker 4003 with me the past 30 years, sold the ones i had on basschat. but as the weeks went past i just had to have a rick in the house i cant explain. so managed to get a new 4003 today only manufactured 3 weeks ago!!! first time mapleglo for me and i must say the quality is outstanding as is the tone and i am fussy. this one came direct from the Rickenbacker rep in the uk . it is just flawless, i feel normal again i was getting all frustrated not having a 4003 in the house lol, glad to see it back.

Interesting video.
