tom1946 Posted April 29, 2010 Share Posted April 29, 2010 (edited) Well here is another of my collection that is losing out to my Fender obsession It's a Tokai Rockinbetter with a set neck, a great action and really solid Ric tones. This is no small part due to the genuine Ricky pickups, bridge, tailpiece and wiring which have been done to a high standard and cost a great deal of money so if you aspire to a Rick but haven't got that kind of money then this is a very viable alternative. It has had a new nut fitted and a recent full setup & strings. The Rick pickup cover is included but not fitted also there is a spare black switch tip. I don't know how old the bass is but it can't be very old because there is no fretwear or marks on it. I haven't got any of the original parts from it and it does have a naughty badge fitted albeit slighty smaller. Playing wise, I've only ever had a go on one Rick in the past and me being me can't really tell any difference. So tremendous sound and a low price considering the upgrades make this a really good buy. I'm looking for £495 which will include a good gigbag and delivery to UK mainland only. Thanks for looking.

Either way, it looks great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bassassin Posted April 30, 2010 Share Posted April 30, 2010 [quote name='simon1964' post='823139' date='Apr 29 2010, 04:32 PM']I suspect it says something the Ric Police wouldn't like [/quote] This being BC, I don't think John Hall has any jurisdiction. Although it would be better if it didn't say "Rickenbacker". However, with the swapped hardware, this is as good & as accurate as modern Rick copies get - it's even got authentic tail-lift! Rickenbacker quality control FTW! Jon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
