    Inexpensive bass for a guitarist?

    Peavey T40 or ant older made in US Peavey like a Forum. Yamaha has some nice inexpensive basses as well. Epiphone Thunderbird is a nice choice if you want a more unique body style. .

    I saw the year later video that he made after upgrading the guitar...very impressive.

    Club RickenFaker / FakenBacker - Show Your Fake Rics!

    It's ok. I am shocked that 1) I got it and 2) that it isn't some crappy fiberboard POS. Maybe that is part of the excitement. I have two real Rics so even though I do love this new bass, I am taking the Ric name off because even though it is nice, it will NEVER be a Ric. But, for 400...

    They would...it was my mistake not to ask for that. They built the whole thing custom and it took about two months for me to get it, but I failed in telling them that I just wanted it blank. I kind of actually wanted it to see something like Chuckenbacker, but again, that is all on me. **If...

    Good question because when I first got it, I was getting buzz on the second fret when played and was worried. But, once I raised the bridge and tuned the bass, un-tuned it and then tuned it again (like I used to do breaking in strings for my viola way back in the day), it was perfect. So at...

    dhgate.com The seller is Jugg Guitar. It was a little over 400 bucks, but no tax and free shipping (another 100 if you want a case). It is high quality walnut/maple and it sounds great. A bit heavy, but that is more due to the wood.

    I need to take off the Rick name from the headstock, but here is my wannabe Lemmy 4004. It actually is an amazing bass. I have a 4004 Cii and it compares...no joke.

    Here it is. The only thing that I don't like is that they put the Ric name on the headstock. I think that I can just put some varnish on it and make it clear...I love the thing, but it is not a Ric and I have two real ones whose reps I need to protect.. PS- The pics make it seem more red...

    Another Rickenbacker Copy...Courtesy of China.

    I recently got a 4004 Lemmy from DhGate....beautiful, well made and plays nicely. I mean it...it is heavy, but it is amazing..walnut body, maple neck through and the pickups sound great. I am honestly shocked that it is this nice. It was custom built and took two months to get, but it is...

    Chinese Rickenbacker bass

    Gents, I just got a Chinese 4004 Lemmy from Dhgate from something called Jugg Guitar...they are pretty highly rated. They built it from scratch for me, sent me pics during the build and finally got it to me 2 months later. The wait was obscene, but for 400 bucks (no case), I am beyond...

    Fake Chinese Rickenbackers

    Broke down and got me a 4004LK copy from China...I admit it. With that said, it was the best 400 bucks I have invested. It is gorgeous, it plays magnificently well, it is neck through with a walnut body and maple neck (rosewood fingerboard) and the humbuckers sound amazing. I have two...
