Thats a beauty, but whats up with that door handle? lol

[@bass-hiroshimanick2534]

Thanks Eric and that cracked me up!

Rickenbackers are fecking gorgeous both aesthetically and sonically. Love my 4003.

[@bass-hiroshimanick2534]

I agree! Thanks for watching.

[@ThunderBassistJay]

People clearly hate or love Ricks. There's not much in between. 😕

[@bass-hiroshimanick2534]

That is so true Jay, thanks for watching.

​@@bass-hiroshimanick2534The brand-haters often turn out to be nothing more than jealous brokies bashing something they only read about in forums...my ric, and my gibsons for that matter, are fine professional instruments and I didn't pay over $900 used for any of them

[@bass-hiroshimanick2534]

@@jasondorsey7110 , I also believe that's the problem, people just hear or read something and never let it go. Thanks for watching.

Very Nice! I miss my 82 4003 and 83 4008. I do currently have a modern 4001s.

[@bass-hiroshimanick2534]

Thanks so much. It sounds like you’ve had some nice Rickenbacker basses over the years.

[@davidturkos8502]

I've owned at least a dozen rickenbacker basses. Some where awesome some just sucked. But all looked awesome

[@bass-hiroshimanick2534]

Sounds like you've had an interesting collection of Rickenbacker basses over the years. Do you still own any of them? Thanks for watching.

[@1965JB]
