Manufacturing amricaine and be seen, a real work of orfvre, mine is translucent, the key is polished, the neck-through sustain guarantees a rare low. The beautiful book that does not suffer the mdiocrit!

UTILIZATION

The problem with the instruments indmodables is that we do not know what to say really brings grist to the mill. Submitted to the bass who have ever had in my hands is a heavy instrument, which gives an impression of density with an exceptional feel it confrent an instrument ct luxury. Access in acute could even make believe that it is a low prvue frustrating for players playing beyond the 12th box. Only the cover seems a bit out of time (like the rditions Fender 50's), but when removed found its mark. The bridge will surprise more than one because it does not allow the fat by placing his palm over the strings stifle, this requires addressing the rubber stamps that appear under the base of the strings. I believe that currently the only such Stingray possdent System. For most bass players will have little diffrence, but for those who like to vary the pressure of choking on the bridge will be VCU as a deprivation.

Let's talk about the ric-o-sound. Two outputs, so a low stro, a system that ingnieux that few will care for convenient but that can really be if you INTERESTED possdez a bass amp and a guitar amp, microphone redirected to handle the bass and the bridge to the sound if mdium for acute saturation. The air there is like only Lemmy gets so powerful in its Motorhead. We find this on the low Systm Attitude Billy Sheehan Yamaha like this, Ricken sometimes made with cole options plutt little empty and exotic ...

SOUNDS

It's a real low rocker, let us be clear, it can play any style that adapts to low but we feel comfortable in a log o mdium contrast to the heart : metal (Metallica, Motorhead), English pop (Beatles, Franz Ferdinand), rock-punk (the Jam, Massive Attack, well ...), so if sr progressive rock (Genesis and Yes). Personally the game is incredibly rewarding to mdiator the IMMEDIATE its jurisdiction (this is only the bassist for The Strokes dropped the Ricken for Precision because the sound came out too over guitars).
His look goes along with his musical personality and leaves no indiffrent.

OVERALL OPINION

Frankly it does not come by chance the Ricken, be it guitar or bass, particulirement in France it is under-o REPRESENTATIVES in the PAF. If you read this opinion is that you seek confirmation of its particularity and you have many icons at the top of the rock used (I) ent the 4003 (or 4001 her older sister). I bought mine APRS have an essay in a London store and I must say that I won t IMMEDIATE. Yet I'm a fan of Fender, I jou a Jazz Bass for years and I was looking for a Precision for a more rock. My problem is that the Precision I tried a lot, some I liked very much and others disappoint me back. In comparison the Ricken gives the impression of less vary from one instrument, may be because there is no 36 MODELS manufactured around the world in 36 SPECIFICATIONS Different.
MODEL I bought the Paris silent so the second I tried it and I got the confirmation that c'tait one I was looking for. So far this bass is not given but when you see violin making and attention to dtail we do not ask long time (unlike Fender).
