Exclamation FS ONLY (NO TRADES): Mega Bad A$$ RickenFaker w Moses Neck - MUST SEE!

Sign in to disble this ad
Bass is on hold for TBer Proglodyte pending payment. I'll update as things progress!

This blacked out RickenFaker which cost over $2000 just in parts alone to make (even has a graphite neck), not including labor!!! Bartolini (Ric replacement) pickups, Bart pre-amp woth mid-shift, etc.

Electra Corsair body (hand contoured)
Custom Moses composite Ric neck with MOP Sharkfin inlays
GraphTech graphite nut
Bart 6RT & 6RC PUPs (Bart ric replacement pups)
Bart 4.7A PreAmp with 3-band EQ, mid freq select (3 frequencies to choose from), + vol and balance.
Black Hipshot Ricky cloverleafs
Black Hipshot Ricky replacement bridge (brass)
Black All-Parts pickguard
Black Pickguardian bridge PUP surround
Black Dunlop flush-mount straploks (strap included)
Custom lightning bolt TRC - Priceless
Coffin Hardshell Case
DR Black Beauties
Reranch nitro products used for the finishing!

It's KILLER. No dead spots on the neck due to it being graphite and no need to adjust it with the seasons or temperature or humidity changes. The electronics are EXTREMELY versatile and far superior to standard Ric electronics, but still maintain Ric like tone as they are Bart Ric replacement pups and mimic the originals pretty well. Interested? I love the look of the bass, but the tone is not suited for the project I'm in now and I've always had a bit of a hard time gigging Rics as the playing positioning is a bit different that a Fender, etc. I just got her setup and the action is REALLY nice. Electronics all work 100%, etc (knobs don't quite sit on the pots like they should, but they are on tight and are fully functional). A few minor flaws in the finish, pickguard has some swirling, but I'm being REAL picky here as the bass looks great! Weight is 10 lbs. I'm asking $800 which should cover everything that I have into her from buying her from TBer Bottoms Up! and other expenses since. NO TRADES and price is FIRM!

Bass is on hold for TBer Proglodyte pending payment. I'll update as things progress!
