This sounds good, and not just as a Rickenbacker 'homage'. There's a lot of snobbery around pickups, but these Artecs do the job. If I wanted the sound, but couldn't afford 'the real thing', I doubt whether there is anything better.(Certainly far better than the Shaftesbury copy I bought back in the 1970s.)
Always love your reviews - wonderful playing and awesome tone. I wish you would list the signal chain though as your recorded bass tone is stellar. It sounds like there's at least some compression and I wonder if you do anything else post?
Wow, this bass sounds amazing! Great playthrough; thank you for showing such a variety of tones. Was this recorded with the stock strings? And were there any adjustments you made to the bass prior to recording it? I hear a lot of people need to raise the neck pickup.
Hey, whats the difference of tones between RB-414 and the classic RB-414CS hollow body, is it different timbres? And which of the two is more similar to the original 4001 / 4003? Thank you!

Excellent review.
Solid, logical approach, and great playing.

I just got it yesterday and I actually had to lower the neck pickup just to get it to match the bridge pickup’s output
Did you ended up keeping this bass? Returned it? Sold it?
nice bass😎😎

How does the neck feel?
Great!, what was the gear that you use for this video?
does anybody know the weight for the RB414
Yes, we do ... weight is 4 kg!
For me this is a lightweight compared to my HB JB-75 vintage jazz guitar that weighs 6kg....back and shoulders are killing me...

414 is closest to the real one
Is that semi-hollow?
Sounds much better than a stony Ricki for this small price!
Your gonna end up removing that pickup cover ! Lol I have the same bass , love it but the cover had to go, it was too in the way.
you still like the bass ?
How do you remove it lol?
@@kurtoppenlander3205
You have to take the whole pickup and surround off to get to the cover. It’s a lot of work, but it’s completely worth it.
@@AllbeeHivezChristianAllbee There's two screws that hold the cover in, it looks like anyway.
