    The Rickenbacker Club Part Twelve

    Beautiful. I recently installed a chrome treble bezel w. thumbrest on mine and it's great. Can you describe the new pickup vs the stock one a bit more? Thank you.

    First Impressions - Aguilar DB751

    When I had mine I tried a few tubes and the Tung Sols where also my favorites. JJs were nice but too bright and felt like it lost what makes the Aguilar sound.

    First Impressions - Aguilar DB751

    I agree. I also remember the DB750 did bedt when cutting some bass instead of boosting like crazy.

    First Impressions - Aguilar DB751

    Congrats on the amp! I had a DB750 and it's the only piece of gear I regret selling. Such a unique amp and it's bound to become legendary IMO. That all Aguilar rig is making me drool. :drool: Enjoy them.

    Considering a Rickenbacker 4003

    I bought a 4003 from 2009 of the same finish a few days ago. I've been wanting one for years and got a used one in excellent condition for more than that price. I'd say get it. I'm not an expert on these as other people here and have just had it for a few days, but... I play own a Precision...

    What was your first giggable bass amp/rig? Share some memories.

    Peavey TKO115 here as well. Heavy as a horse, but cheap very reliable. It wasn't high-end but it did the job for years. Especially since I didn't know what high-end meant. Later upgraded to a Hartke 3500 head with a Peavey 410xt.

    I'm one of you. After years of trying way too many string brands and types I've been using Nickel for over a decade. I'm a DR Strings kind of person and use Lo-Riders on Pbass and my Hollow and Sunbeams on my Jazz.

    Aguilar - Official 'Tone Hammer 500' 3.8lbs 500w Megathread!

    Thanks. I put mine right after the tuner because I had room there and otherwise I would need to rewire the whole board. I guess that's my next project.
