- What type of bridge?
Easel solid (very solid) type Rickenbacker, copy of the model installed on the 4003 Custom.
- What are the settings?
Volume and tone for micro, 4 knobs. While passive.
- What type of race?
The handle is through the original, here it is glued to a minimum. I'm not sure it's driver.
UTILIZATION
- The handle is it fun?
Yes, but it is a good template. Big enough, but still fast.
- Access to acute (recent freight) is it easy?
Absolutely. This is one of the great highlights of the shape of the Rickenbacker.
- Ergonomics is it good (in terms of shape, weight ...)?
Ergonomics are good but this is particularly low (as the original). Indeed, the body still weighs a certain weight and not a compact instrument. Also the bell housing the central micro may be disconcerting at first. This imposes very specific playing positions and force some bassists playing plectrum. But the game to the fingers is quite possible, some even manage to beautifully slapper.
- Gets it easy to sound good?
It's live: this bass are in the stomach and do not hesitate to use force. Very big sound guy wins. The pickups are excellent, electronics (passive) can be improved. I am considering a replacement of the stuff (cables, potads, capas ...) in a relatively short time. It will not cost an arm and allow the bass to have its full potential.
SOUNDS
- They are suitable to your style of music?
Hehe. Yes and no. This is not the bass that can do everything, dull and "versatile". No, it's a big piece wild, the opposite of my ex-Ibanez! But I have already started to find its place in the mix and it's all good.
- With what (s) amplifier (s) or effect (s) do you play?
I play on a Trace Elliot BLX80 Mark One. It's as British as desired combination. The result is really good, but that grumbles with an attack of a jackal!
- What kind of sound you get and with what settings ("crystalline", "bold ",....)?
Exactly, both are possible but with a clear color, a violent attack in the high mids mostly. By playing with volumes, tones and gives a valuable switch tremendous amount of sound and grains. The charm of the passive pickups and more simple.
- What are the sounds you prefer, you hate?
I am satisfied with its sonic palette and I adapt.

OVERALL OPINION
- How long have you use it?
Few days, but this is my eighth low if I'm not mistaken.
- What is so special that you like most and least?
Mouth, the sound, the price. Rick the look 'without paying the bill delusional.
- Have you tried many other models before buying it?
Lots, but this is a thunderbolt. I flashed it to SMS!
- How would you rate the quality / price?
HUGE.
- With experience, you do again this choice?
Definitely.
