You should buy one! It's a realy masterpiece! I bought a brand new one, in 1974... and it continues in perfect shape...!!! even after all those years and thousands of hours being played. The Rick-o-Sound, its 'stereo', besides allowing you to add effects in just one of the two pickups (comminly, the treble / bridge one), has another amazing advantage: It renders an unbelievable sound purity -- in high pitch ('volume'), as the low frequencies do not distort ('modulate') the treble ones... keeping its unique timber!! Rgds, from Brazil

This might be my favorite Rickenbacker bass video on KZread. Thanks for doing such a great demonstration of the sitar trick!

This is the best sounding bass I've ever heard in my life. Thank you

Could you please talk a little bit louder next time? What I heard was very interesting though, I'm an old Ric player myself. Very nice bass. Excellent sounding Ric. That thing is in beautiful shape for a '64, I'm jealous, haha!

Thanks for that, I'll work on that volume balance on future videos..

I love this video so much. Have a 4001 since 1994. Now I have even more reasons to play it.

That bass sounds awesome. Thanks

great demonstration and dig in to the possibilities of creating many different approaches to bass sounds. Thanks

Thank you for teaching me what those nobs on the bridge do! WOW it's amazing how easy it was to never see that feature displayed! I have a 94 4003 and although it always sounds like a Rickenbacker, it's been a nice surprise to also find a lot of versatility within that.

No worries!

😀Wow--I never thought of using the mutes in this way! Thanks for this--I will be getting some more sounds out of my 4003.

Really enjoyed this! Rickenbackers are something special, I will never part with mine.

Fantastic demonstration. Bravo

That treble pickup is the reason I search everywhere for a first year reissue of the Rickenbacker.

Super helpful, thanks.

Great video - thanks 👍

Very cool sounds!

Just saw the T-40 video - after watching it I want one! Enjoyed this video too. Subscribed.

Thanks so much, I'm embarrassed I've had mine for decades and didn't know what I actually had.

Great Demo.... I have a 67’ 4000 / 4001 convert with flats and an early 72’ 4001 with rounds... I’m going to try widening the sound palet.. thank you

Ric basses are awesome. You are getting great sounds on this video.

great video, I have the same horseshoe (the magnetic one) on one of my ricks, amazing pickup, combined with the toaster.

The lad is back

I had a 68 and a 79 many years ago... and the ‘secret sounds’ they used to make, was alot of neck-rattle from the dual trust-rods, and the sigh/moaning sounds from the Techs when they saw me coming in with it..

All you had to do was tighten them, I've owned more than 30 since 1977 and never had that happen, of course I learned how to adjust them myself. I'm playing my '79 4001 right now.

Bob Indeed, I was probably just unlucky with them... if I was to go for a new Ric, I would get a newer 4003; with the push pull circuit... or maybe go crazy and get a used Laredo or Cheyene.

You need to adjust your 2 high end string heights closer to pick-ups. Or raise the 2 lower end ones. Depends on your current settings tolerances. Also, you and most every other person critiquing the “Rick”, never give credit for the 4001-4003’s ability to maximize sustain. The sustain on the “Ricks” when they have been properly set-up is second to none. P basses and J basses don’t even come close. For the money, ricks are the greatest basses out there. So versatile.

The bass legends of Rickenbacker 4001v63 tones like Chris Squire, Geddy Lee, Paul McCartney, Jackie Fox, Lemmy Kilmister and Maurice Gibb of The Bee Gees.

I love rickenbaker basses :D

I wonder if the horsehoe bridge cover is the key to that hollow tone when playing behind the bridge pickup. And probably the use of real metal. I know a lot of copies use plastic, and current Ric models have the full metal cover instead of having the gap in the middle

I own some 4001's but I find myself playing my Jazz basses the majority of time-more tonal options. The Rick is a one trick pony.

Hey man, thanks for another great video! I just have to ask: is that an original late 60s/early 70s bass or a reissue? Sounds great either way

It's a 64!

So there are other sounds. I've been playing it as a sitar for decades!

❤

I will say that you gave a gr8 tone description of the famous clanky tebley side of the Ricky , but the one thing missing especially as it is a 64 with the neck toaster 7kw pick up , was that you didnt demonstrate that thuddy gr8 bass tone that say macca got from the neck pick up . I have an 81 4001s with hi gains and the deep bass sound is gr8 .Its just that all the tones on ur vid were mostly to trebly .R u using flats or rounds??

It has old roundwounds on it. I used a flat EQ demonstrating the native sounds of the bass alone. I have flats on other basses, and the sound is that 60s sound (super low). I may put flats on it some day...

Your bass sounds gorgeous. What amp are you playing through?

TheEmac70 : now I have to try one of those for my Rickenbacker and Thunderbird Basses. Beautiful, clear tone. 😸

A bit frustrating - I'm very interested in this video but the Sound is very low and the controls of the Rick are not in the picture.

more volume please, thanks good vid..

Great tones. For future reference, you should move the microphone closer to your mouth I couldn't hear a thing you said and the bass was blasting. :-(

Kinda cut the volume and tone out of the picture. Hard to hear.can you write settings in description with your own brief description?

The volume on your microphone needs to cranked up M8. Good Video for it's content !

And these "secret sounds" will remain secret if you don't speak up!

🙌🏻

Your vocal volume is very quiet. The bass sounds great though.
