Got my '06 Rickenbacker 4003!

Chronicle · Nov 6, 2006

Oh man whata beauty. Well here's the story. I ordered mine off of http://ricpage.com and mike was a very good person to deal with. He emailed me a bunch about all the questions i had for him. Anyways, i ordered a fireglo but he sent an email the day he sent it saying it was jetglo! So i had to send it back and wait another 4 days for my fireglo! lol Well the wait is over! and it's rockin'!

[Yeahh.. that's a street sign]

SEXY TIME!

You shoulda sent the Jetglo to me.... :hiding:

Noyce, mate. That "glo" is perfect.

Moe Hickey · Nov 6, 2006

Nice! What's it's birthdate?! (See my thread re my "666" mapleglo.)

Your guitar was manufactured in week number 21 of the year 2006

Anyways, yeah it sounds kickass on my poopy B15 Hartke lol. But i'm sure it'll rip some windows out once i get a new amp.

Chronicle · Nov 6, 2006

hm so im thinking of getting her a mesa amp and DR lo-rider strings.

hows that? and should i get thicker strings or stick with the smaller ones that came with the rick? i've got some thick hibeams on my fender jazz and i love em, but i wish they had a little more thump- so i was thinking of lo riders

Very nice, I like that finish alot. Enjoy ! :bassist:

Very nice. I'm a Jetglo guy myself, but that's a sweet bass.

Just let me get this straight, the 06's have the walnut wings, slightly thinner neck and the push/pull for vintage tone, correct?

mine sports a Maple glo finish...but I'm sure you'll love it....The ric is one of the basses that I'll own forever

How's the new Push/Pull vintage tone control thing sound?

Chronicle · Nov 6, 2006

the vintage/normal tone setting is really cool. they both sound pretty good, but i like the standard best because it has more punch. but if you wanna play something softer, the vintage tone would work best i think.

Jona-s · Nov 6, 2006

Wow.... looks cool

So... how's the neck? Is it more similiar to jazz basses neck or...?

Chronicle · Nov 6, 2006

i actually think the neck is the same size or smaller than my jazz! i can really fly on this Rick. It's MUCH lighter and balanced better than the jazz too.

Slater · Nov 6, 2006

Very nice!

I just recently found out about the new thinner necks, which gave me instant GAS for a 4003! :hyper:

But... I have to wait 'til I recover from the upcoming holiday spending. :hmm:

Very nice, I used to have one just like it ^_^

ustabawannab · Nov 6, 2006

Fire Glo sure is purdy

12bass · Nov 6, 2006

That's a very nice bass! If you can, maybe you could post some sound clips....

easy · Nov 6, 2006

so what's up with the metal thing thing covering the pup?

I've never been a fan of ricks (to be fair, I've never played one), but that's nice looking
