Aero71 Posted December 19, 2015 Share Posted December 19, 2015 (edited) A lot of great products are "made in holland". In terms of bass gear we have: VanderKley, Hevos, De Gier, VanderEnd but also Rikkers. Ferdinand Rikkers is a Dutch luthier who builds guitars, electric- and double basses. More info: [url="http://www.rikkersgitaarbouw.nl/index.php?lang=en"]http://www.rikkersgi...dex.php?lang=en[/url] So here we have a beautiful, handbuild fretless Rikkers bass, made in 1983. Exotic woods were used (sorry but don't know which, all I know they are forbidden now), Neck through Construction, passive Electronics with coil tap for both pickups (front/back/both), Ebony unlined fretboard with dots. Plays really smooth and the sounds are fantastic. Plenty of mwah available. J I keep trying, but I'm just not a fretless bass player, although I love the sound. So a trade with a fretted bass could work for me. Asking £850 which really is a bargain, a new similair Rikkers costs about €2400,- Comes with a hardcase. Shipping within the EU included.

FlatEric Posted December 29, 2015 Share Posted December 29, 2015 That is a really nice looking bass! The post also shows how to present a bass for sale. Clear, well lit and in focus pictures make it even more tempting. Nice one. Have a free bump on me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
