Good times! 🤘

Praise the Lord 🙏 & God bless Rickenbacker's.

Same thing happens when you plug an active bass on the amp input for a passive lmfao (Totally not from experience)

I had somewhat the same experience. We where jamming somewhere and I brought no bass with me. So I could play on the Bass guitar of the father of a friend, with permission. I did not know rickenbacker Basses... I just thought it was a funny old bass... On a Yamaha 8x10"... 70's stack.. Turns out it was a 70's rickenbacker, played great with impressive sound.

You made the Church Rock out.That's awesome

What’s your practice routine to be more like him? I need a routine to use :/

@@misterhutch2053 if you need a routine to keep playing, then you aren't enjoying it. you should just feel inspiration and want to pick it up. 1-2 hours later, your fingers hurt.

@@gnutard1735 I think you missed my point, I want to play so much that I always pick it up but I’m just noodling around and not making any progress I feel like I wanna get better and better but I can’t if I just keep playing the same Metallica songs and shit that I know you know? I’ve never had formal musical training or no Regimen so to say that an instructor teacher taught me so I just want to have a routine that I go by every time I pick it up so I know I’m getting better and not just a glorified cover band artist

@@misterhutch2053don’t play covers and you won’t be a glorified cover artist. Learn things in your own unique way instead of looking them up and also take that guys advice

RIP Cliff Burton 🙏💙❤️‍🔥🫂👑😊🕊️

Me too. And because of Mike Rutherford.

Chris and Geddy, very tall cotton.

Nothing like Classical Prog!!! 41yrs for me, similar influences...but I have to add Paul McCartney as my initial influence👍🏻

exactly !! I couldn't have put it better myself.....

This guy bass

yes but with flats and neck pickup, total different sound

Bruce Foxton of The Jam used a Rick 4000 series bass. The characteristic tone is prominent on the early Jam records.

​@@ymck7246he changed back when doing Get Back. But for Abbey Road he used his Rickenbacker. That was his bass from The Beatles Rubber Soul until Wings London Town. He used different basses here and there. An example is the white album. He used a J-Bass on 3 songs for the album. But aside from Get Back, McCartney never used another bass for an album.

I read somewhere he used the Hoffner because its shape was good for left-handed players. Is the Rickenbacker good for left-handed people?

@@snarkywisecrack he made many alterations to make it comfortable. His Rickenbacker became a signature during the 90's or 2000's.

Isn't that a sidewinder (eb-0) in the neck too?

@@sysiphuspeart9012and a stacked strat literally wedged in the bridge! welding wizard cliff burton was a real one

@@discoreposession ?! I'm guessing to kill hum from the jazz?

@@sysiphuspeart9012 im not sure (i dont know anything about wiring or hum haha) but search up cliff’s frankenbacker. he was a beast at wiring

@@sysiphuspeart9012Yeah, but it died on him, and he eventually settled for an Aria bass, with his signature model being the Black ‘n Gold Aria. I can’t remember, but I wanna say Aria made the bass to Cliff’s usual specs, like on the “Frankenbacker”.

I think Geddy plays the Jazz wide open

@@mrebear9758He plays on just the neck pickup pretty much. His main Kalamazoo 72 black J bass had a bad bridge pickup in it which had really low output.

@@Farewelltokingz That was true, but the bridge pick-up was rewound by Tom Brantley. I have a pair of the replica pick-ups from Tom and the balance is pretty typical now for a 70s Jazz Bass. From what I can see, the only thing Geddy fiddles with now is the Samsamp settings and everything is wide open on the Jazz.

I am the proud owner of a Ricky and and wouldn’t ever swap it

Even so, his Rick, along with Cliff, Lemmy, Chris Squire, and others faced a major problem with their Ricks. The problem? Double truss rods. Try adjusting both to get the neck straight. No picnic. I'll stick with a Fender P-Bass; and not the stupid new ones that feature both a P-Bass and J-Bass pickups. What a terrible joke!

But a PITA to work on. Those Ricks had two truss rods. No easy task for people with no prior experience.

Were ye worthy?

I'm sorry about your dad but what a cool piece of his life to acquire!

Deep soulful bass ? yep you're not a musician.

it sucks that despite the increasing popularity of prog bands like king crimson you still dont hear much from prog era genesis, I listened to those albums a ton during middle school and the bass and drums on those songs are infinitely better than everything that came out during the phil collins era

​@@jgttmvcuz Genesis is fruity as hell. KC is cold and edgy. Fripponomics ftw

Trespass and Selling England by the Pound are two of my all-time favorite albums. They're so freaking good!

What the fuck is wrong with being fruity? ​@@jonathanmitchell3545

Lemmy don't rest. He just changed his address

@@Rowebot15 Oh, okay. 😂😅

Cliff Burton was never even close to the best bass player ever just because he was in Metallica,fan boys😂. He weren't even in the top 20 bass greats

@@andrew9790 He’s not my favourite, however I do respect him a lot. 😀👍

​@@andrew9790This is some little kid mindset bullshit. People don't like Cliff because he was in Metallica. People liked old Metallica BECAUSE Cliff was part of the group. He wrote a ton of really great bass parts that weren't just emulating Dave Mustaine's riffs (all songs up to Ride the Lightning were written by Mustaine & Burton), they were unique bass parts that stood out from the crowd & weren't as easy as you'd think. Especially versatile for an early Thrash band. I bet you're going through that "nothing is good enough for me" phase. I went through that phase around 21 or so, when I started to think my childhood heroes Stevie Ray Vaughan & Dimebag Darrell weren't good guitarists because I'd discovered John Petrucci & Guthrie Govan & thought Prog Jazz was the hardest genre to play. I've grown out of that now, but I get it. If it ain't John Myung or Les Claypool then it "sucks", right? Maybe pick up a bass, look up "From Who the Bell Tolls Live With Cliff Burton", you'll know the vid when you see it, He's wearing a Misfits shirt), & just try to follow along with what Cliff is playing. Then come back & reread your extremely uninformed comment. Again, you got it backwards. People don't say "Oh, I love Cliff because he was in Metallica & I'm a Metallica fanboy!" It's the other way around. People only like that Era of Metallica because of Cliff's insane writing & playing skills, especially in a genre where bass players were usually setting up water bottles lol. Cliff is definitely one of the best to ever step on stage with a bass. & that's OBJECTIVE.

I love the band yes, I think he's one of the best bassists ever

That depends on were on the neck your playing

I owned a P-Bass. Sorry to say but the worst bass I've owned. I loved the tone, but felt it was too bulky and trouble with my hand on the neck. I traded it in for a Kramer bass. It became my all-time favorite. It's a great bass, but not everyone can manage it.

Chris quire.Bass. Howe. Anderson. White. And wakeman. My favorite line up. Although relayer was favorite album. I met John Anderson and Rick wakeman in Stroudsburg, Pennsylvania. I snuck down to the dressing room at break. 2 security guards, each had one side of jon, while he was in a trance. I did not talk to Jon, had my 2011 es 175 with, me hoping to see Howe, and humbly ask him to sign it. Even if he would have signed my guitar with a child-like mess, I would have held it up in an offering to god, the 90 miles home. So cooool.

No you didn t own one

Horrible song, thou

So was Silly Love songs.

I think his playing his younger self in that video made him realize how iconic his Hofner was. That's around the time he switched back.

Oh, I'm not Italian but definitely thought "a pick on a bass!? Tf" 😂 To each their own though. Music is art and there are no rules. Just odd for me personally

Thought the exact same

@SouthoftheHill You mean that Sacha Baron Cohen look-alike, right? I forgot all about him--the algorithm took him out of my feed. Yo, foweeo.

S L A P P

He's Italian? Never knew

Touche'!

Glenn Hughes played a Ricky too

Al is underrated. His work with om is great

@@jpettltd Totally agree, Om is an experience!

Love cisneros!!!

Sleep is amazing

ive literally been asking for his tone forever dude

Yea ok👌

The fart tone

When I saw them in 96, Rob was playing an Epiphone Les Paul bass through a pair of Marshall stacks for the whole set.

that’s false, he said in an interview that his rick got super thin because before forming Yes he covered the whole body with thinfoil first then asked a luthier to remove it, after that he painted it a different color then asked the luthier to remove that also and when he got it back the guy painted it olympic white-ish and told him he would not be able to scrap another finish from it without making the bass too thin to properly work.

@@1199ccttv Cool, I never heard that, thanks.

@@1199ccttvYup, that is the truth. Rick Wakeman gave him the three neck bass that he played on Awaken. There was a copy of that made later on. That one was a bit heavy. Near the end, it was certainly a chore for Chris to play an entire show. I was right up front in front of Chris, and he nearly fell over trying to take that bass and strap off him to his tech. Chris was not only a stellar bass player, and had such a great laugh, he really loved his kids.

the rick is the bass of the bourgeois

p-bass is proletariat

@@baconbitz7937 lol never really been a big fender fan tbh. Neither for guitars nor basses. None of my instruments are fender. I’ve played a P bass in the past for years in my old band (was my keyboardists bass) but never owned one nor have I felt the desire to get myself one.. But last I checked I am a prol, and I saved up money for over a year to buy that bass, working at my crusty ass prol job. Sounds like my Rick is a prol bass, to me.. 😹😝

The dilettante’s bass is a Donner P-Bass copy. Built well-downright sturdy!, plays fine even though the straight neck is a mile below the new set of regular 50-105 Slinkies that btw, sound really good with lots of tonal range from what I consider a really good pickup! Hey, I’m a guitarist on a budget that needed a bass for recording and inspiration for grooves and fingerpicking practice. That being said, regardless of who (Having their own individual tone requirements for various reasons-hey, different people in different bands with different styles!) is using what pups on their Ricks, I particularly like the Lemmy-like tone in this demo and WANT THAT SOUND! I don’t even have to plug in to know I’m not going to get it with my dilettante bass. I’ll have to get real Ricko for that.

@@subtletyandnuancerules Lemmy actually swapped out his pups for I think Gibson humbuckers. But when Rick build him his signature Rick (which is GOD DAMN fucking gorgeous may I add 🤤) they equipped it with their humbucking pickup. Rickenbacker 4001/4003 comes with single coils. So technically Lemmy’s tone isn’t even the traditional Rickenbacker tone. Altho yes there’s more than just pickups that affect the tone but I’m sure those humbuckers change it up quite a bit.

Except he literally changed the pickups lmao

@fireglo he used Thunderbird pickups I think.

Don't forget Lemmy played through a Marshall. That was a factor as well. I've never seen anyone else play bass through a Marshall before or since.

@@stanleybroniszewsky8538Jack Bruce would like a word

@@viciousattackvideo - I'm sure he would. I just never followed him to know his equipment.

He started with Fender ---> moved to rickenbacker ---> back to fender. I guess he had a steinberger phase, in there, too.

By far the best bassist shown. The rest are on much lower levels.

Yeah the stock pickups are low output which is just their sound. People tend to love it a lot or hate it completely

Agreed. P for the win. All day.

Yeah something bout them Rickenbackers. The look, the sound, everything!

To each their own. I love Matsumoku Japanese basses. If someone gave me a Fender or a Rick, I would just keep it in the case until I could sell for a profit.

@@kjaze I used to have an Ibanez bolt neck 4001 copy, that I copied it was so good. Mine was okay. Also a St. George copper colour with a handle in the body. Scary cool bass, fattest neck in the universe. Pickups distorted awesomely, whenever they wanted to.

I like Ricks but Dingwall exists yk

Love the Matsumoku basses!

@@TheaDoesStuffWow true true he's a bit more in tie with his vocals but still would be kinda cool to see Danny play some slayer not to mention his tone in the seasons of the abyss album was pretty cool

@@nooneatallish4291 I have always liked his tone on that record the best. I mean it's nothing groundbreaking, it's just NICE.

Bez tun

no one cares about trujillo

@@samuelfierro8205 megadeth fan?

@@tylerremley-osbourn5674both bands are great

@@raptorrsr5817 I agree, I was just joking💀

With Geddy Lee, that Bass was all right but I prefer to 72 fender jazz Bass and all the other jazz basses that he has sounds a lot more better, especially that transparent Bing Cherry fender jazz with the maple fretboard , that motha is cold-blooded tight

Fodera bass are on another level .

Yeeeeeee

He swapped to a Schecter bass ,a much overlooked bass player

I’ve been asking for the last 42 days (what I’ve been counting at least) and still no squire

Oh geez. I thought "this guy" number 2 was Chris Squire. That's why I didn't mention him. If That's not him he needs to be on here for sure.

@@russslagel514number 2 is Geddy lee of Rush. Who said on many occasions that hearing Chris squire’s bass line on “no opportunity neccecary no experience needed” was his instant wanting for a rickenbacker bass

Chris Squire died around the 27th of June , 2015. A form of Leukemia took him out for a walk with John Entwhistle.

@charliegglines3965 Thank you! The hair was very Chris Squire-esque. So it threw me off. I also always associate Geddy with the Steinbergers and Fenders even though I know damn well he played a Rick back in the day.

Buy a Samsamp YYZ and a 70s Jazz Bass. Done. The YYZ even comes with his personal settings

@@mrebear9758 I really want one, but I always wondered if it would be more worth it to get the 2112 preamp instead. Thoughts?

@@JKeltTV Not in my view, unless you're going to run it as always on. I like to be able to switch the pedal on and off, which you can't do with the 2112. The 2112 is only really useful in recording or professional situations where you can blend the two channels in a mixer.

​@@JKeltTVif you have one amp- get the 2112 di; two amps- get the rack. Add more mids and treble, behs at 12.o'clock everything on a J bass cranked with a compressor at a 4:1 compression. Play around and make killer riffs.

​@@mrebear9758 2112. I like that album! 😉 Nice of you to give out that kind of info, Mr. E. Bear, E-🐻 or Mystery Bear. Respect.

jesus 82 days-

42! I meant 42

On some but if we are talking disorder then totally

It was actually a counterfeit.

He had a copy.
