Hi There, I'm in the market for a new bass (or two) and have found myself in a bit of a quandry, I'm tempted to shell out & buy a Rickenbacker 4001 or 4003 or for the same price as one of those I've worked out I could afford a couple of Fenders, namely a '51 Precision Mike Dirnt Signature Bass (MIM) and also a 60's Roadworn Jazz (MIM), both in sunburst (which I really fancy).
I already own a '75 MIJ P Bass & '95 Standard American Jazz (which is my regular workhorse) & lastly a '92 Jazz Plus 5 - so obviously I love my Fenders but am wondering about the Ric & whether or not I'd get on with it.
If anyone could let me know how they've gotten on (particularly) with the slab bodied '51 I'd really appreciate it and also the quality factor of the Mexican built guitars too - in fact I'd really appreciate any feedback as I've got myself in a right buggers muddle trying to decide what's for the best?? Considering Future Investment potential/residual values & potential resale values/enjoyment factor of playing etc etc.
Any feedback gratefully received!
