thanks so much!

thank you sir! Glad you enjoyed it!

You can be you're right, less so with the satin finish. The feel of the neck and the looks make its worth it in my opinion. One thing Ricks don't lack in general in treble. Also I was using effects on it and adding bass through a Trace Elliot Transit B

Thank you !!

Thanks so much!

Thanks, It's great live too, light, comfortable, and looks great

Thanks so much John, fully agree Ian has a lot more to offer than he often lets on

Spot on, these bass lines are deceptively easy. For example hitting the strongs on an up versus down stroke can make a huge difference

@@NXPBass oh yea, I failed to realize I need to use a pick.. with fingers its less suited for rock music. Anyway, thx for covering this great song!

@@olivierslupik400 idk man I play finger style most the time, but there are bass players whose style definitely demands it like also Duff McKagan, Lemmy, Dave Ellefson. But not all Steve Harris, Cliff Burton, Steve Digiorgio, Tom Hamilton are definitely finger style

@@NXPBass thanks for letting me know, I ordered a new one and I was looking at this bridge issue thinking I needed an aftermarket part. Upon further research I realized that Rickenbacker has addressed this issue themselves and have started putting a version 2 bridge on their 4003 basses. I don't think an aftermarket part is necessary now but thank you

@@marketzero correct the newer ones have a different bridge. Congrats on the new bass, Hope it's a keeper

@@NXPBass I am 99% sure that it's going to be my go to bass sight unseen

Thanks, this was done using a Zoom Q8 camera and its software

Thanks a lot this was a real fun song to learn!

Thanks Keith, couldn't agree with you. The punk rock and glam mix is really fresh and original on TFFL. Glad you enjoyed this version :-)

That's fair summary yes

Plus the satin finish feels so great!

Thanks so much! The Babicz is more about the ability to setup intonation and action more easily and precisely. It may add a little more depth to the tone but i don't think it's obvious enough especially once it's in the mix with other instruments. And no I would never put flat. The Walnut sounds quite smooth compared to other Ricks, if anything I've been enjoying strings with a little more grit like D'Addario Nickels sound surprisingly good on it

Thanks @@NXPBass ! I'll stick with my rounds for now :)

probably have them somewhere written down yes

Thanks a lot Macky! Phil was a real inspiring musician

They're very different pickups. To me the 4 LX sounds brighter and cleaner but sometimes also a little too dry. The soapbars allow you to switch between humbucker and single coil which is why I ended up getting a Euro 4 LX TW

Definitely. That's one of my earlier videos, before I got my Z I om camera

My camera has 2 XLR inputs so it's very easy to blend them

Cheers brother!

These are great basses, hope you're loving it :-)

Thanks very much Saul!

but which is which?

Thank you so much!

I've never had one with Barts but I really love these EMG with the push pull between humbuckers vs single coil. Main reason I got my black four strings

Thank you!

Not even close but thank you for your kind comment. Glad you're enjoying these videos. A lot work went into most of them :-)

Yep these G&L's have great pickups, preamp and build.

It had unbranded P and J pickups similar to DI Marzio originally. I've now upgraded to EMG active PJX and got it routed for an EMG BTS preamp.

@@NXPBassNice! Thanks man! How much does it weigh?

@@j.c1574 not sure exactly. So it's heavier than a mahogany Thunderbird but lighter than a maple Spector, even a contoured one

Thank you 🤘👽🤘

Sorry not a chance :-) I upgraded it with active EMGs and it's become one of my favorite gigging basses

@@NXPBass Funnily enough, since I posted this comment 10 months ago I've actually bought 3 of these basses from collectors in Japan hehe :)

@@shaunhardman9524 nice one! I love the neck profile on it. Now with the EMGX PS and BTS pre it also sounds amazing. Might need to refinish it at some point as it's quite brittle

Thanks a lot friend!

This is the RickySounds one

I can definitely relate

Thanks so much brother

@@NXPBass You're very welcome! I love your Mockingbird bass! I used to have a Warlock with the same B.C. RICH logo on the head stock like your Mockingbird has. I miss that bass! I've been meaning to mention to you. The zoom Q8 camera you recommended to me has worked out better than I imagined. I THANK YOU! My past 3 videos have turned out great sounding thanks to your recommendation. If you have a moment check out The Cult "Love Removal machine" . My first professional guest musician on one of my videos! I hope you check it out. I also did MISFITS "Saturday Night' And OBITUARY "RedNeck Stomp" using the great zoom q8 direct recording. CHEERS!

Thank you 🙏

Thank you so much! This Tbird is pretty good for a modern one. A keeper!

It's a pretty good song anyway!
