What country does she makes? (United States, Japan, Mexico, France ...)
today all Rickenbacker instruments are manufactured in the UAE, provided that lasted!

How many frets, what kind of micro as well as their configuration?
20 boxes, shame! T would be a more welcome, but as good aa t said and as I will add, since it is the one true rock bass, Rickenbacker had to say that 21 boxes a would be pearls before swine!
the microphones are Rickenbacker, one at the neck, another in the center of the body, closer to the bridge, just short of classic. Obviously we chose one or the other or both but is more famous, the Ric-O-Sound with Stereo or mono configuration, I will not m'tendre is d j trs well Retailer in the correct view APRS.

What type of bridge (Floyd, Wilkinson ...)?
Rickenbacker well sr

What rglages (volume, Tone slecteur micro ...)?
Volume, Tone switch position it is a low eh, not a vintage synth

What type of race?
SPECIFICATIONS Rickenbacker handle, not PB or JB! Finally a bass that does not have that p * tain handle shovel JazzBass! we like it or not, for me it is the Discoveries, finally! a handle end, flexible, well-curved thin trs (without the Ibanez either), a short sleeve try before you buy.

UTILIZATION

The handle is it enjoyable?
simply the best round t given to me to play, a comfort

Access in acute (dernires freight) is it easy?
oh yes, just this race and make it an asset dcoupe formidable. pity that there are only 20 spaces so

Ergonomics is it good (in terms of shape, weight ...)?
I read everywhere that it is heavy. I believed too. but actually no! just play a G & L to realize the happiness of having a low rock just 4.2 pounds!

Do you get a good sound easy? ...
ahhhhh Ric sound! again without s'taler (finally I wonder what it's for my review), the sound is so special Ric that it becomes magical. bass playing fingers mdiator Obviously well as possible the sounds are amazing. rock it again, incisive, trs "English", new fashion, but actually it's 80's 70 trs, mdium, without being mtallique mtal because this low provides deep bass but o all the notes are heard. is rare, it's really good!

SOUNDS

Appropriate are your style of music?
yes and no! Whenever I have the hands off you go for a quarter of an hour of English punk rock 80's required for heating. APRS and then we change mdiator, we change position microphone is corrected on the amp and we try to play pop not always easy, but when it works, mohahahahahaha

With what (s) amplifier (s) or effect (s) do you play?
like any good coffee that respects the 4003 is played without effect, but not! Glue an Eden 4x10 for your exact time is more than satisfactory, the sound is powerful, profound and incisive, a brief rgal. I remain convinced that it needs an amp in the same caliber, of his era, so testing on the Orange, Hiwatt and Ampeg quaint example.

OVERALL OPINION

How long have you use it?
the MODEL I currently with the more recently finally. but I always had the opportunity to play on, etc. to fantasize over.

What is the particular feature you like best and least?
I love it! shape, mcaniques, sound, grip, his personality etc..

Have you tried many other models before acqurir?
too.

How do you report qualitprix?
is what we look at prices when food in Loiseau?

Exprience with, you will do again this choice? ...
yes yes yes and re-.

Why do you worry so spare asshole?
bah uh, I beg you because I have also ben a G & L Asat, and I love these two basses. but with only 10 fingers and seeing no intrt have two basses, I spare to make it produce a single which will bring together as much as possible the benefits of both! it is not won but hey we'll see the worst I buy a 4003!
