That is the perfect Ric sound I'm going for. Guessing it's a 4003? And I'd say it's a right-handed with the image reversed. See the name-plate/truss-rod cover.
Ill open a topic for discussion, why do you have to turn "button" round and round to raise the rubber near the bridge of the Bass, instead of a lever to raise and lower? Rickenbackers are great by the way.
I think its actually a right hander, i thought it was left at first too - but the "Rickenbacker" logo on the head is reversed, so i think its just the movie clip that is mirrored, making it look like a lefty.
he probably filmed it with a webcam that is why it is reversed, and you can record directly into a webcam and onto youtube these days, just use quick capture upload.
have you considered he might be left handed i myself am a lefty and it is a lefty ric because most if not all lefty rickenbackers have a right handed head
I don't know if you just streamed this video to youtube but if you capture the video to the computer you can flip the video. (Even in Windows Movie Maker)
Just drag the effect onto the video and it will flip it.
Xellent! RICKENBACKER 4001? or 4003? Sounds good!

righthanded bass. the text is backwards. its probably filmed via webcam
Fentharr 3 years ago
but they don't have down pointed triangle inlays like this one, lefties point upward, therefore the Ric in this video is right handed.
