I have had a few 4003's with the vintage tone thing. And I found I only ever used them with with the vintage tone selected. The bass in question is my b'day bass. Made in the same month and year as me. I think it was for sale on here not too long ago and I wanted it then...
-
I think its because the early ricks were designed with the strings that were available at the time in mind. This is what I have read anyway.
-
After a bit of googling, from what I can see is the neck issues are to do with adjusting truss rods. 4001 rods don't function like a usual truss rod. Where the rod moves the neck in a usual truss rod. If you try to adjust a 4001 neck like this you're likely to make the fretboard pop off. I think i'll take the plunge and buy the one I have seen.

I have my sights set on a rather lovely 4001. I have owned a few 4003's in the past and just love 'em. Don't know why I sold them to be honest. Anyway, I have heard here and there that 4001's aren't very good with heavier string gauges. Is this true? Does anyone have experience of problems? I use Roto's Swing 66 pretty much exclusively. Are some necks stronger than others? I don't want to go buy the Rick I have seen only for the neck to go 'twang' when I string it. I'm a little heavy handed when I play too.... Is it a myth?

Just bought Craig's Ibanez bass. Great bass and a great bloke.

Just bought a Big Muff and Q Tron of Rich. Arrived quicker than a very quick thing. Bring on the funk wah!
-
Q Tron and Muff arrived nice and quick. I'm amazed I have never used a q ton before. I love it -
You have mail

I have a black one, might get a red one as soon at they're in stock. I recorded yesterday with my RV4 and was totally blown away by the tone I was getting from it.

I was going to get an irig for my ipad, but have heard that the new Apogee Jam is much better [url="http://www.apogeedigital.com/products/jam.php"]http://www.apogeedigital.com/products/jam.php[/url] So I am going to order one of these. It connects to the 30 pin connector of the ipad/iphone. It can also be used to connect to a computer too.

Magnolia replied to Bobby K's topic in General Discussion
I was there last night too. Great show. Sound was a bit crap in parts, too much guitar for my liking. Got some half decent video [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jde5o4YwS2Q&sns=em"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jde5o4YwS2Q&sns=em[/url] -

A while ago I had 2 4003's, one with SD pickups and one completely stock so I had the chance to A/B them. The SD's made the rick sound too muddy, with none of the lovely trebbly balls that we all love about rickenbackers. If I had to describe them in one word it would be cheap. They sounded cheap. Keep it stock and have a fiddle with your EQ.
-
Do you still have the GK cab? Do you know how much it weighs roughly. Im interested in it, but will need it sent via courier....
-
I wouldnt have thought about the pickups, they are a little high. I'll lower them a touch and see if that helps. I was thinking about chucking a beefier bridge on. A badass may do the job.

My current main bass has absolutely crap sustain. Its the Retrovibe Ricky copy. Does anyone have any suggestions how I can increase the sustain on it? Im gonna put it in for bit of an overhaul soon, so anything I can get done when its in?
-
I done the very same thing a year or so ago. Gave it all up completely after my band split. Sold all my gear and was completely bass free. I have always said that the second I stop enjoying it is the second I'll stop. Being away from it has done me the world of good. I knew it wouldn't be forever. I regret letting go some of the gear I had. But the fun is in the building up of it all again.

Check out a couple of new vids my band have done.

Cheers for the feedback Osama is a local bus driver..I'm sure of it! -
The new band I am in have put out a couple of quick vids. Im pleased with them (although the songs could do with being recorded as it was before we had a drummer)

This is cool to listen to.

I'm thinking about selling my Retrovibe Ricky bass as I originally wanted one in red and bough black because I'm an inpatient arse. I have now managed to get hold of a red one, so dont really need two. That and I'm GASing for something on here The bass itself is in pristine condition. Set up how I like it, pretty low with a bit of buzz. Sounds superb. Musicman like from the bridge P/UP, to a super P with the neck p/up. I paid £260 odd not too long ago, so would sell for £200. Its has a set of Roto's on, which are a couple of weeks old. Few pics Will ship providing postage is covered. Would prefer cash on collection, so you can try it out first. I don't do paypal as they're robbing nobbers.
