    Rare photos of famous bassists playing Ricks

    I recently fulfilled a near-lifelong dream by purchasing a gorgeous Rickenbacker 4003 in Mapleglo. While it will probably take some time to get used to the playability - I've almost exclusively played Fender or Fender-adjacent basses up to this point - I've fallen in love with the sound and the...

    Hello! I’m a big fan of The Beatles, Wings, and especially Paul McCartney. However, I would like to know what strings he uses for his Rickenbacker bass.

    could a jazz bass with a harder/heavier wood body get a rickenbacker sound?

    main components that make rickenbacker basses sound like rickenbacker basses: hard maple body AND neck, neck thru construction, and two single coil pickups. now, normally a jazz bass would only check off one of these categories, but if you use a harder wood (waaaaaalnut anyone??) or denser and...

    are rickenbacker basses more popular than their guitars?

    i seem to feel like rickenbackers biggest products are their basses rather than their guitars, but maybe it’s just because i’ve found myself in a bit of an echo chamber. when have you ever seen people salivating over a rickenbacker 6 or 12 string guitar? well i’m sure plenty of times, so many...

    How would j-bass pickups sound if instead of series wiring, you wired it like a Rickenbacker?
