    50-110 strings on a 2006 Rickenbacker 4003

    I figured I would ask people who know a lot more on this than I. I use elixr 45-105 gauge on my 4 string ric. I have used the same strings for years and want to try some new things. I picked up a pack of ghs boomers that are 50-110 and I play in mostly standard tuning where I occasionally drop...

    Elixir Polywebs??

    I really like the nanowebs and use them on all of my basses, but I'd like to try the polywebs too. Guess I won't be doing that though hehe but there are some going on ebay right now.

    Ever had a headliner undermine your show?

    I am part of a 3 piece rock and roll band and we were opening for an internationally big band in a small club in Spartanburg, SC last year. Our set was phenomenal and everyone in the crowd was very responsive; moshing and the etc. We had a 30 min opening slot and sometime less than 20 min in...

    Rickenbacker?

    I have been a Fender Jazz player since I've been playing bass. I play a Mexican JB and a USA JP-90 (Jazz/Precision with a Jazz neck). I recently purchased a 4003 and I absolutely love it. The neck is quite a bit different though. I usually hate playing most basses due to their necks being...

    How could anyone not like Victor Wooten?

    I've met the man. He is one of the most humble people I have EVER met in my life. It was an enriching experience. Don't even get me started on the performance!!

    Mexican Fenders

    I've got an amazing sunburst Jazz that is built very finely. I think it is 2002-2003. I replaced the bridge with some Ibanez hi-mass bridge I bought for $20 in a GC Clearance bin. It has EMG Passives (previous owner). It roars. [Invalid or Expired Link Removed]

    After playing my friends Japanese Mustangs and Jag-stangs, I always wanted a Fender Japan bass!! They're so cool!

    Why is it so hard to find a Rick to try out?

    Hi there. Check your local Craigslist. Have only seen one 4003 in a local guitar shop (that was on consignment!). I played it and didn't care for the way it played. I went on craigslist and scored one for $1200 even. 2006 4003 Jetglo. It's great and is serving me well. Bought it 6 days...
