New Rickenbacker 4003S/5 review - TalkBass.com
2020年12月1日 · the B string is .115 on this set. .115 will never have enough tension on this bass or any other 5 string I assume. This weird choice by Rickenbacker might make some people who play this bass at a shop think it sucks. Don't let this fool you, just use a .125 set, the sweet spot for this bass. A .125 B string sounds great on this bass. It'll do ...

NBD - Yes, I bought a JacksonBacker | TalkBass.com
2023年8月6日 · The tone is fantastic - it's growly & punchy! Which is my cup-o-tea. I LOVE the fact that the designers at Jackson decided to make the 5 string version a reverse P at the neck pickup! The neck is very thin & fast playing - on par with Ibanez SR series, but also re-inforced with graphite support rods & dual action truss rod.
Bridge for a five string rickenbacker? - TalkBass.com
2019年2月4日 · A couple TB'ers, @Ric5 and @Aceonbass have successfully modified 4 string Ric bridges to 5 string, they may have some advice. Edit: I hesitate to suggest this, but I stand corrected.

Rickenbacker actually made a 5 string bass - TalkBass.com
2008年1月29日 · I've considered getting one of the Ric 5 conversions but the narrow spacing seems rather undesirable to me. If you are spending a ton of cash I think the bass should actually work as a bass and be near perfect. So I do keep hoping that one day Ric will get their act together and actually build a real 5 string Ric instead of some kluge.
Why no 5 string Rickenfakers? - TalkBass.com
2009年3月19日 · Rickenbacker has a real inability to make a good 5 string bass. It is a shame because a Rickenbacker with a low B is an awesome combination. The unique voice of the Rickenbacker on those extra low notes to me is what playing bass is all about. But if Rickenbacker can't or won't make a 5 string bass then I do it myself in my workshop.
