Yes, the vintage 4001s had the Rick-O-Sound output. I only ever used it a couple of times in the studio. I think it’s an interesting concept for bass, since the 2 pickups are radically different you can get interesting tones, but I would be more inclined to use it for guitar.crazyzeke wrote: ↑Sat Apr 27, 2024 2:24 amDid the Rickenbacker you had include the Rick-O-Sound output?fuzzjunkie wrote: ↑Fri Apr 26, 2024 1:21 pmI’ve had 3. Down to just one, a red Jaguar bass from the 1st year they were available. A P-Bass copy that I resurrected from a dumpster behind a club. The electronics were held on by punk rock band stickers and duct tape, so it needed a new pick guard, missing the D string tuner, so replaced all of them with a new set, and the body paint had been removed, so I repainted it to match the red metallic headstock. It was a decent sounding bass when I was through with it.
I love the concept and look of the Jag bass however it completely baffles me that they never made a short scale version - the Squier one minus all the chrome and active controls etc doesn't fully count, I mean a MIM/MIJ/MIA Fender with everything the regular one does just a short scale neck, to match the regular lead guitar Jag.
Is the neck on yours closer to a P or J bass?
The Jag bass I have has a Jazz bass style neck. That’s one of the reasons why I selected it. I do like the sound of a Precision, and as Johnny mentioned, there’s a setting that gets that sound or something like it.
I keep a bass around for recording and always wanted to add a Bass VI, but if I were a full time bassist I would want a vintage Musin Man Stingray. Those just blast through an Ampeg. And probably a Gibson Thunderbird, just to have one, it wouldn’t be my main instrument.
