I used to have a RIC 4001, now I have a couple of Ibanez basses (a BTB 675 with Bartolini II pickups that has a lot of punch and good growl, but the edges of the body and wide neck wear on me, so I got an SR1305 Premium with Nordstrand big hum-cancelling singles because of the faster action and more comfortable body), but I'd really like a new 5 string RIC with the triangular pickups. I just love the depth and clarity of the sound. I like the Warwick 5 string NT also, but the really nice ones are very expensive to me. I don't care much for the beaten up look. I also always use Rotosound Roundwound Swing Bass regular gauge strings.

The Rickenbacker, I believe I've played before. They've got some oomph to them that I don't believe any other bass has. (Not even a Warwick) Definitely play a Rickenbacker if you get a chance. They're mint and more importantly, worth the £2,000+ investment. If not, may I suggest the new Antiquity RB1. It's a Rickenbacker style bass for an eighth of the cost.

My 69 Gibson EB3 was $180.00 in 1982, and people want $500.00 to thousands for theirs now. I know that my Gibson Humbuckers are louder than my friends 4001 Rickenbacker, but of course the Rick has that special sound, preserving the higher end.

@nekot9274 4 ай бұрын

Used to own that mustang (and the flea jazz), didnt kept those, sticky nitro and really not that good anyway. Owned a Gibs SG too, didnt kept that one also, nitro was good but the bass was not fun and I alwqys stressed about the headstock... Owned also the Player and Am pro Jazzbass 5, the player is the one you want, when you play both, the feel and sound is about the same, the Am Pro is not worth the price bump. I play Yamaha BB's now, they are great for the right price.
