With a little help from my friends

The issue isnt the strings or the pick, its the muting. Unless the bass is set up horribly, I cant imagine anything having so little sustain without constantly muting it, which just sounds bad.

I'm so jealous of your Rick! I want one soooo freakin bad!

"Don't use a pick on a bass!" That is the STUPIDEST statement ever. Morons, all of you!

I agree 100%

@argus525 Chris Squire plays a Rick too, and he uses a pick.  If you hear his playing, you wouldnñt say he is an idiot.

hey! well done, last note "B"

Use flatwound! No meat here, just strings noises.

Anyway, nice playing! Try TI 344 strings, you won't be disappointed.

You play it the way you want to play it Powerreplay. I just got a Rick and it is sweet.

also id love to know where you found that beauitiful rickenbacker?

[Powerreplay]

No mirror tricks, I'm a lefty. I bought the Rick at Dirk Witte in Amsterdam. That was in 1995 when he was the official dealer in the Netherlands. Luckily he had a left Rick in my favorite color.

[Ezrado]

either your a lefthanded, beatles loving bass player (like myself), or the video has been inverted?

[Powerreplay]

I do use my fingers....to hold the pick. Usermanual doesn't tell it is forbidden to use a pick.

Using a pick on a Rick at the PICKguard sounds warm and trebly. Love it and will continue to use it, just like Paul did and will do. Thanks
