Wooks79 Posted September 1, 2012 Share Posted September 1, 2012 I could have been tempted by the green sparkle, but there was only one for some reason Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcnach Posted September 1, 2012 Author Share Posted September 1, 2012 I was also tempted by this (also only 1!!!): and this: but I chose this one: as I realised red basses look good on me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

police squad Posted September 2, 2012 Share Posted September 2, 2012 I had the RV4. It looked like a rickenbacker with music man pickups. It was an excellent bass. I used it in a Jam tribute band while I was depping for them. Sold it recently. Very hard to sell as that annoying bloke ( I won't bother to name check him, he doesn't deserve it) from rickenbacker kept getting my ad pulled from ebay. But the new ones do look interesting. Familiar but different Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beer of the Bass Posted September 2, 2012 Share Posted September 2, 2012 It's a shame the five-string only comes in black, otherwise I'd be a bit tempted. They'd be a great candidate for a DIY stingray/sabre type preamp too, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spike Vincent Posted September 2, 2012 Share Posted September 2, 2012 I'd post pictures of mine,but I don't want the site to get in trouble...The only flaw I found was the selector switch,easily replaced. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buff Posted September 2, 2012 Share Posted September 2, 2012 They need a rosewood board and block inlays to look the part really or at least a tinted neck, liked the green one though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway made it thru the night, cold turkey wearing off, I think I'm past the worst of the GAS now as long as JOSE DOESN'T POST A PIC WHEN IT ARRIVES.

Cheers JF [/quote] Hi John, it's actually on hold for a drummer friend of mine who announced on Friday that she wants to take up bass now. I'm letting her have it for a couple of weeks to see whether she wants it. If she decides not to go for it I'll let you know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
