Pierre à la basse
Published on 01/15/08 at 10:33
Manufacturing States, 20 boxes, 2 single coil pickups rick, 3-position selector (neck / mix / bridge) to volume, bedridden for each microphone.
Channel driver, painted on the back (some love it but for my part I plan to do stripping and waxing ...), the key is painted as well, which is surprising.
To note, be aware that when you buy this bass is because we want this bass is exactly.
UTILIZATION
Channel amazingly comfortable and enjoyable. It seems heavy, and when we play it does not want to stop, inspiration comes on its own and we are surprised to find unexpected melodic lines on a bass that has been so utlisée in punk rock to play fundamental.
Access to acute nickel, since there are only 20 cases (and indeed we want to go further ...).
Very well balanced. Design very flat, without artifice (no hollow comfort) but very ergonomic. Of course there are the hood of acute microwave can interfere, but you can remove it or make do.
And then ... SOUND! This sound can only be achieved with this low there. Full of serious, full treble as it is everywhere. The notes never stop (requiring neck-through). Finally a sound whose character depends not only on the amp you put behind your foot, you know.
SOUNDS
We must all play on it, but it lends itself to a whole rock, blues, and I find now able to make the folk or country side with this "timber" which, in a "neck" , could think of the bass.
I play on an Ashdown is fairly neutral and slightly British.
I love all of this sounds low, the micro severe lack a little punch to my taste, but if you rule too close it becomes harmful position "toutafon". On the micro acute, it sounds like Chris Squire, what more?
Again, for the Rick, you need a Rick.
OVERALL OPINION
It's been almost 3 years that I use, for periods when it falls from grace I focus on a style to which it is ill-suited (funk, reggae, jazz, what some people say), and then I resume The replays and ... falls in love.
It is therefore a very special low, say singular, which can both distinguish you from other bass players that you shut without a sound very (perhaps too) typical.
Of course, I tried a lot of bass before, and even another rick 12 years ago (it's been fifteen years that I drool over), but the trial had disappointed me (I think the seller was wrong I plug it into a Trace Elliot, I never knew these devices is set). I wanted the sound Rickenbaker, I bought one, I sound, I'm very happy, and if it again, I would do the same.
The only downside regarding the quality / price ratio. It is an instrument very expensive and I expected much higher standards in terms of violin making and finishing. This is a recurring problem with the products that display "made in United States," it seems to be a sufficient guarantee of quality for some manufacturers and buyers. Some varnishes and certain parts (bridge) are botched, we see the collages in spite of the black paint, varnish key overlaps with the frets (already painted a touch ... finally). In short, disappointed with the finish at a time when some Asian manufacturers are very competitive tools to finish irréprochabe. But, hey, I wanted a Rick, with sound, and I!
