Cracking price for a cracking bass.
At first I didn't like the choice of pick up and bridge style, but they actually make very sensible developments on the traditional style.
Bet it goes today :) .
Good luck,
Karl.

Is this the one on Ebay?[/quote]

WAS the one on Ebay before I got grassed up to the Rickenf***er police!!!!


@Karl - That's what I thought..... I've spent a small fortune on Rickenfakers and the modding them with real ricky parts only to find once I got the Retrovibe that I prefer the sound of that....... so my next projects will be modded with humbuckers MM style or otherwise..b

Yeah the Rick police.
OK for Retrovibe/Bass Collection/Tuscany businesses to sell on there, but not private individuals.
When they pull my ad, I'm going to tell them I will be writing to Trading Standards and OFT.
Bloody hypocritical IMO.

looks like it although not sure if this guy had to mod it a bit.

Cool bass Ian, surprised your selling up given your comments about these! I might take the plunge on a black one soon.

Yeah well I bloody love this bass... but the new Rockinbetter have aroused me... I'm a fairly tall skinny fella and the Retrovibe has I believe the same dimensions as a Real Rickenbacker, which I feel looks daft on me as I dwarf it... For the last few years the Rockinbetters have been improving no end.. This year they've got 22 frets which turns me on as I like to spend time up the dusty end of the neck and to top it all off they're bigger than a real Rickenbackers and so fit me like a glove. I BLOODY LOVE EM!!! I learn't a bit of a lesson with the Retrovibe in that I love the tone of those Humbuckers (nice and twangy) and I won't be buying real Ricky parts for the Rockinbetters..... Plus I could get 3 Rockinbetters for the price of one Rickenbacker
