Paul McCartney, Lemmy, Chris Squire, Cliff Burton, John Entwistle, Phil Lynott, Robert Trujillo, Geezer Butler, Glenn Hughes. At some point or other, these and many other household-name bass players have wielded a Rickenbacker 4001 (1961-81) or its successor the 4003 (’82 to date), and what a joyous noise they make, too.
Sure, the Ricky looks a bit nuts; certainly, it sounds a bit eccentric. But it’s a stone-cold classic bass guitar that cuts through the most unfriendly mix and will be your friend for life. Don’t believe us? In this lesson, we’re taking on some of the Rickenbacker’s greatest moments. You’ll also get note-for-note breakdowns of bass lines on which the Rickenbacker really shines.

    Your '73 is almost the spit of my '72 ❤ Same wear as mine (including thumb dent) only mine has a bit more wear on the arm rest... and no pickup cover of course.

    It's been declining for 15+ years. I remember going to shows in Portland(the original) and seeing these new (hipster?) genre, acoustic bands, none had a bass instrument outside of a pump organ. As a bass player looking for collaborators, I found nothing outside of classic rock and country bands (and of course orchestras), and gave up looking around 2015. Hopefully it's changing.

    Run the neck pickup into an Ampeg, the bridge pickup into a Marshall. I want that exact Ric but in Fireglo with the checker binding. I do love the sound of a Ric, but the bridge spacing is the most annoying part for me. I mostly play on Jazz bass and similar instruments with wide spacing at the bridge and narrow at the nut. I do use the blending of pickups sometimes on the Jazz, but mostly both on full. Oh, and yeah, I love Spacehog, I even saw them live back in the 90s.

    Had two 4001 basses. Once I got my 77 B.C. Rich eagle bass I got rid of them and never looked back. Way over priced for what they are. They are cool as hell but just not for me.

  • @seanfarrell6275
    @seanfarrell6275 Před 11 hodinami

    McCartney sanded his 4001 to be more comforatble and removed the pickup cover. Not sure about the "no palm muting" idea. Watch Wings Over America (where his Rickenbacker sounds amazing) and you'll see Paul muting.

    How do you play the triplets solo part at bar 47 and 48? B flat m7 to E flat 7. Does anybody know the targeting or fingering of those eight triplet beats? Because I can't find any information about those 2 bars on CZcams anywhere. Scott! HELP!

    To me, the ric has a certain bite to it that you just can't get anywhere else. I put just a hair of overdrive on my amp and boost some low mids, and it's disgustingly gritty while still cutting through two guitars. To me, that makes it worth putting up with the two truss rods and all that nonsense
