Triumph_Rock Posted June 13, 2021 Share Posted June 13, 2021 Well I've only gone and done it! Gone crazy and caved 😲 Couldn't resist, gone and bought a Rickenbacker 4003S5 in Jetglo black... Will be my first premium bass, and probably my last if anybody finds out how much I paid for it!🤪 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Triumph_Rock Posted July 10, 2021 Author Share Posted July 10, 2021 It's landed and sounds sweet. Excellent build quality, the tuners are something else, and the tones! 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Woodinblack Posted July 10, 2021 Share Posted July 10, 2021 I almost got one a couple of months ago, and I keep going backwards and forwards about it, but until I have had a chance to play one I can't really justify it! Congrats on the new bass, hope it is great Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Congrats on the new bass, hope it is great It was really a case for me that I had been looking at basses online from Fender, Ibanez, Warwick. Then I got listening to Motorhead, was reminiscing how Lemmy is one of my main reason for picking up bass. My next bass had to be a 5 string. So I looked at 5 string Ric's online, found video reviews and read some reviews. So I pulled the plug on one. Big gamble, having never played a Ric before. But glad I did. I much prefer the look of the 5 string Ric than the 4 string. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Triumph_Rock Posted July 11, 2021 Author Share Posted July 11, 2021 Yes I've yet to learn a Motorhead song believe it or not! Yesterday I tuned the bass to B, C#, G#, C#, f#. Bass of Doom! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I much prefer the look of the 5 string Ric than the 4 string. Indeed - I like the 5 string. I mean I like rics but I couldn't spend that much on a 4 string, as they don't get played much. Just need to know if it is something that I can use first. I figure at some stage someone I know will have one and I can give it a try, I doubt I will ever see one in a shop! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe give Ricky Sounds a try, the 5 string Ric has a vintage and modern tone range. I think it has some really usable tones, surely somewhere in the UK had one in. The new pick-up seem to do a great job of equal volume across all 5 strings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
