I'm not sure I could ever get use to a shellacked fretboard.

@dvdfrnzwbr Hi - this is not shellacked, but is the same poly finish as used on the body. Ric has always done this (expect in a few cases) and it is really quite comfortable and fun to play.

You will lose some loudness - particularly in the low end. It makes the bridge pickup quite thin - but, does give you that Chris Squire kind of vibe.

This was recorded direct through a Radial Pro DI into our Canon video camera. No EQ, no processing, just the bass itself.

@Philosopher131 The ones that we have been getting are Ric strings. The D'Addario have colored ball ends - these are the Ric strings with the solid silver balls.

I have an 06 Jazz Deluxe, not worlds apart in sound, but god, this is beaaautifuuulll

As far as I know Rickenbacker has in fact done a lot to change their production methods in the last decade. Anyway, good video!

[eyeball226]

Ah, I wish you'd demonstrate it with flats as well.

@dvdfrnzwbr I own this exact bass, and the poly finish on the neck is hardly noticeable. If I compare my Fender Jazz bass to the Rick, they feel almost the same as far as the fretboard goes.

If there is anything that you would have trouble getting used to is the shape of the neck of a Rickenbacker. My Fender C-Shaped bass neck (not the modern C) feels so small compared to the big Rickenbacker neck. Its great but hard to play for a bass player that is used to modern basses.
