Nice one mate. I am interested in buying a Walnut Ric but I dunno.. I prefer Lemmy's tone with his Mapleglo Ric's honestly. Seems like you can't get a trebly sound out of these Walnut ones.
@NXPBass17 күн бұрын
You can be you're right, less so with the satin finish. The feel of the neck and the looks make its worth it in my opinion. One thing Ricks don't lack in general in treble. Also I was using effects on it and adding bass through a Trace Elliot Transit B

I have heard this tune for years , and it was not till I saw it live and saw Ian play it I appreciated how Ian's bass added to it. With two guitars and Robs vocals it gets kind of buried in the background. Appreciate this cover.

@@NXPBass thanks for letting me know, I ordered a new one and I was looking at this bridge issue thinking I needed an aftermarket part.

I don't think an aftermarket part is necessary now but thank you

Excellent comparison! Two questions - does the Babicz bridge really bring much to the tone, and would you put flats on the Rick? Thanks!
@NXPBass7 ай бұрын
Thanks so much! The Babicz is more about the ability to setup intonation and action more easily and precisely. It may add a little more depth to the tone but i don't think it's obvious enough especially once it's in the mix with other instruments. And no I would never put flat. The Walnut sounds quite smooth compared to other Ricks, if anything I've been enjoying strings with a little more grit like D'Addario Nickels sound surprisingly good on it

@NXPBass7 ай бұрын
They're very different pickups. To me the 4 LX sounds brighter and cleaner but sometimes also a little too dry. The soapbars allow you to switch between humbucker and single coil which is why I ended up getting a Euro 4 LX TW
