Did any of you registered under the name Bansheee on Kings of Chaos?

It's been 2 weeks since that guy logged on, and I have gave him over 10 soldiers =\.
i sent you a message.

So its a 4003 trying to emulate a 4001?

Oh dear me, that will sound stunning...kinda a shame for anyone that has already bought a Ric...

From the pics that looks really bad IMO.
I'll stick with the 4001 thankyou.

I believe this will be the year I take the plunge.

Sounds cool. Anything they can do to add more to my never-ending Ric GAS is cool in my opinion.

I still want a single-pickup Ric. I forget the model number.

What I'm really curious about is the new bridge that is supposed to come out this year. The stock ric bridges now are a PIA to intonate.

Then I will be rewarded for waiting to buy a Ric :p

Who would have ever thought?

Wicked. Looks pretty cool, but agreed with Skit, it does look a bit crap when its pulled up.

Well, you'll have to wait a bit longer, it will take about 2-3 months until dealers get their hands on these, unless Rickenbacker started making these in advance.

Ah well.. I'm not in the market for a new bass until a few more months. So that's perfect. :thumb:

Ric will more than likely add this to the online store for people who already have Rics. If not, the mod couldn't cost more than $10.

A lot of people change the capacitors in their basses. So do the Ricowners. It's one of the cheapest ways to make your bass sound pretty different :thumb:

Funny thing is, the ones made in the early years of Ric about up to 1990 had the cap in there, the ones after that didn't. The reason they took the cap out in the first place was because most people would remove it from the ones that did have it.
