    Ric 4001/4003 with real wood pickguard/TRC?

    That response is why I call this site “Talk Me Out of Bass”. So grumpy.

    WawaWHUT? This is one confusing preamp!

    It will probably be the best performance!

    What makes a Rickenbacker sound like a Rickenbacker?

    This has nothing to do with basses and yet surpasses 90% of what I’ve read on this site, well done!

    What makes a Rickenbacker sound like a Rickenbacker?

    The Peavey T-40 is one of the most underrated and overlooked basses. The electronics were wayyyy ahead of their time. The Ric is a conundrum for me as well. I played a friends while on vacation and wrote 4 complete songs in two days. I ended up getting a great deal on the Walnut version...

    Fireglo or Walnut Ric 4003, and why?

    I have the Walnut and just purchased a 79. I am truly mystified by the sound of this bass. I thought the legend surrounding it was over hyped. I was impressed however by putting low rider strings on it and being able to play in A dropped to G. The neck is perfect! I also put JBE pickups in...

    Genz Benz Bigg Dawgg Cab

    Haven’t used it. I could rewire it to 8ohms. I don’t have a 2ohm amp. Thought someone who had the Genz Benz head still might want it before I make any alterations. Which is more elusive in this forum, bass tone or writing tone?

    Peavey T-40 pickups replacement.

    I just picked up a T-40. Yes it’s heavy, but I wouldn’t change the pickups. When I hit the open D string(I’m tuned down) I heard the tone that’s been in my head for years. I think I finally found “my bass). I could see putting the pickups in another bass but not the other way around. I’d...

    Genz Benz Bigg Dawgg Cab

    I got the cab, can’t believe nobody snagged it up. I ave a Hillbish Beta 1200 on order, so I’m hoping they’ll pair nicely. This is my first Genz cab, anyone on here have an Uber series? How has your experience been? Thank you!

    Resale....why such a hassle??

    I think about all the midrange bass heads I've spent money on I want to Barr on myself. I finally pulled my head out and bought a Verellen stereo digital amp for live shows and a Science Mother amp for home. I should have done this along time ago and would recommend getting a good amp and be...
