Obviously this is a low USD.
20 frets, 2 pickups Rickenbacker (a handle, a bridge)
Rickenbacker Bridge
one volume / one tone by micro
a 3-position selector (micro acute / grave / both)
a switch (Ricken called vintage) on the knob of the bridge pickup tone. As I understand, it disables a capacitor and can find the sound typed 4001. Well, then, honestly, we reach the limit of my e-skills.
Do not forget the two outputs:
- A single, classical
- A stereo, "rick'o'sound". I did not previously served
Neck through, maple, rosewood fingerboard. Key and the handle are painted.
All the hardware is in keeping with the overall quality of the instrument: beautiful.
UTILIZATION
The handle, confusing the first 10 seconds is a killer. Fine, pleasant, access to acute poses absolutely no problem. At the same time, I can not say I go very often ...
Ricken The trunk has a reputation: it is false. Compared to a classic PB, there's no photo, it's lighter. on the other hand, of course, we talk about the scrapes maker: it's not the crate either! Ergonomics is the top: the body is sufficiently thin and perfectly balanced.
As for sound, it's really not complicated. In my case, it's bridge pickup, volume and tone to cut back and neck pickup and go. Ok, so I find the neck pickup a bit molasse near each other but I never tried to set it (it seems a little too low, which would explain the slight lack of punch .. . compared to the other microphone, are not mistaken!).
It has a sustain of madness, his violin-through. Sometimes I amuse myself by repeating 'to leave notes and ringing it lasts, it lasts ... it's a real pleasure. The quality of the violin is measured here and the fact that it is the agreement to the hair: I grant once a week, and it's still too many.
SOUNDS
I rock, scabby and fast: it farts. It is on that, spontaneously, the music that I call the PB basic, but I stand not grain Ricken (and the face of this crazy bass) are a great addition.
I tried this bass on Kustom 210 GB on Ampeg B2RE on SVT 3: Given the dynamics and the output level, there really is no lizard! by against, my old amp which made so far, a Fender BXR 300, quickly reached its limits with this bass. He should be sticking an amp that gives it its defined it deserves, even saturate all behind, we agree.
Well, it's clear that if finances follow any full tube it fits like a glove.
OVERALL OPINION
I have over 6 months now and I am in love with this bass to the curves out of the ordinary. Admittedly it does not go unnoticed and do not leave indifferent. And it's not unpleasant to have the age-old Fender PB families.
Well, there is a really blame him: the price. This is a bass luthier, or less, but the difference between the USD and the price at home suggests that some intermediaries are fun in between.
Since buffers Rickenbacker is the European market and since the French importer (La Boite Noire) does not seem to fight to bring (at the same time, it's not a big market for them) you have to fight for a touch, and especially to fuck the price. There's no mystery, it is the law of supply and demand and all the miseries that go with ...
With "experience" relative, I would do the same: as soon as I look, I find canon, as soon as I branch, I remember I had a clear reason.
