This might be the most expensive and enticing thread on Talkbass. My wallet might force me to unsubscribe from this bass porn Rickenbacker generator system. Gorgeous basses @steve_ss -ScottM

I got another Rickenbacker 3030 last week in Walnut. These basses are so much fun to play, and my first semi-hollow basses I’ve owned. -ScottM

The two that I were able to buy I first seen the add on their Instagram page. But you literally have to have the money ready to go. Hit add to cart and checkout without even thinking about it. -ScottM

Yes, unfortunately and fortunately for Cliff, this is true. All great things must come to an end and I think he is looking forward to it. But with that said, I think he plans on a few more years. -ScottM

My Warwick thumb 2024 LTD 5 string. Even the low B sounds killer when slapped. -ScottM

Wow, that is gorgeous! Congratulations!!! I bought a 3rd Rickenbacker last week, 3 within 30 days 😂, but no more CB’s until next summer. 😩 -ScottM

Congratulations and I hope you recover quickly! -ScottM

Agreed! I use to love their bass gear. I had a few combos and some Peavy stacks back in the day. They had killer tone and were built like tanks! I had someone break into my house when I was a kid and try to steal my Peavy stack. It was one of their great big heads, a 15 cab, and a 4x10. He was...

What’s crazy is the two basses in my avatar are made in Florida with way better electronics, woods, and made by hand for the same price. These bass manufacturing corporations are getting out of hand with their cost. I just bought 3 new Rickenbacker for less than $2,200 each. I forgot to add…...

Wow, I just went to see how much $$$$ 👀 GOODNESS!!! And they’re back ordered! 😂 -ScottM

Thanks for the suggestion, I’ll have to check those out. I had to “finish” oiling both the neck and the fretboard pretty good. This bass came to me a lot less polished off than the other 3030. I’m wondering now that the bass isn’t so dry if that Labella tapes might sound a little better. I...

The string tension is much better than my Martin 24.5 scale bass. I mean MUCH better. I’m guessing that is because it actually uses short scale strings, and not specialty strings thanks to the floating bridge adding extra length. I’d even go as far to say that the tension is better than my Les...

I safely received my Walnut 3030 yesterday from UPS. What a completely different instrument this is compared to my MG 3030! The maple board, walnut body, and mainly the oil finish make a giant difference in feel and tone. I really dig it, but the MG 3030 is a lot more pleasing to me. I find...

That is good to hear! I find myself grabbing for this little bass to do the same. My new one should be here in a few hours. I can’t wait. I ordered a maple and also a walnut pickguard for both 3030’s. Looking forward to seeing how they look next week. Enjoy the new bass. -ScottM

My new jamming with no amp or power board. -ScottM
