Link Removed

i wanna know if they are a good deal :help:



thanks !
 
ok cause i want to trade it for a real rickenbacker jetglo 4001 '72 or 73 and he show me this deal so im gonna talk with him and check how much he want to add

thanks

don't do it, not for a Univox. They are okay but they ain't no Ric. As for trading a Lado for a real early 70's Ric you are gonna have to shell cash out of your pocket I am pretty sure of this. :eyebrow:

Good luck....
 
i dont want the signature if i want a fender jazz like im gonna search a real 72 jazz bass but i like the hemisphere style i have buy a rick 2 mouth ago the guy tell me they are a 78 i dont have check the s/n but last week i check it for fun and i realise it was a 88 ... so now im tryin to find a 70's ...

really, '78-'88...what diffrence does it make? They all pretty much look and sound the same. Rather than trying to immulate someone else...be yourself...

I have played them all...60's, 70's, 80's there is not really any notable diferrence other than age and a few cosmetics changes from the 60's to the 70's
 
keep your double-neck. I had both a 1969 and 1972 Ric as main gigging basses back in the 70's (wish I still did)---with virtually no difference between them BTW.
The trade is not a step up for you. I would advise you "NO".

If you MUST have an early '70's Ric--go for a real one--not a copy.
Save up for it and be darn sure you are willing to pay the price for something you may grow tired of.

Heck--if you want a Ric that bad-get a newer one for a lot less. IME, you'll find the tone of a Ric is pretty much the tone of a Ric regardless of year.
 
i dont very understand this sentence Heck--if you want a Ric that bad-get a newer one for a lot less. IME, you'll find the tone of a Ric is pretty much the tone of a Ric regardless of year.

sorry im not very good i just have 16 years old and speak french haha

voici ma meilleure traduction:

homme, si vous voulez un Ric ce mauvais obtenir un fichier plus récent pour beaucoup moins. IME, vous trouverez le ton d'un Ric est un peu le ton d'un Ric indépendamment de l'année.
 
Thanks for the french translations. In spanish it would be pretty much:
Heck, si vd. quiere un Ric tan desperado, obtenga vd. un mas nuevo para muchos menos. IME, tu vas a hallar el tono del Ric es el tono del Ric a pesar del ano.

LOL---thai, portugese, icelandic, latin anyone?
 
Je vais être honnête avec vous, peu importe quelle année votre Rickenbacker est. Je sais que vous aimez vintage et très vite le vôtre sera millésime ... ne gaspillez pas votre argent sur une Rickenbacker vintage ils ont beaucoup de problèmes avec le cou, etc. Tenir à ce que vous avez et se sentent heureux que vous l'avez.
