simon1964 Posted July 13, 2009 Share Posted July 13, 2009 (edited) With thanks again to Clarky for posting the ebay link here: [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=53133&hl="]http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=53133&hl=[/url] here's some pics of my newly acquired Rickenbacker.

The photos were taken with a Canon Digital camera but using a decent bounce flash rather than direct flash. Not quite in Lysdexia's league I'm afraid!

silverfoxnik Posted July 13, 2009 Share Posted July 13, 2009 Gorgeous in a way that induces dangerously high levels of GAS!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thebeat Posted July 13, 2009 Share Posted July 13, 2009 Nice Ric...but 'all black'?...dunno if you've noticed, but it's got white binding. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NancyJohnson Posted July 14, 2009 Share Posted July 14, 2009 Never really been a big Rick' fan, but all-black 4000 series are stunning. Lovely. P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Low End Bee Posted July 14, 2009 Share Posted July 14, 2009 That's bloody lovely. If there's a nicer looking bass I haven't seen it. Re mortgage time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm really enjoying playing something that's so different from all my other basses. It sounds fantastic with a pick, but I'm still trying to work out the best way to play fingerstyle, even with the pickup cover removed! All good fun Sam - bounce flash involves using a flash gun with a head that swivels and rotates. So rather than the flash being aimed directly at the bass, you "bounce" the lgiht off a ceiling or wall. It gives a much softer and natural looking light without having to set up lots of lighting off camera. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
