Re: Modern Surf Band With Rickenbacker?

supertwangreverb - 07 Feb 2005 09:24:58

I would think a Rickenbacker guitar would work better for surf than
a Rickenbacker bass. Just because the Rick bass has such a distinct
tone. Out bassist tried one with us and it was really punchy and
ticky, didn't sound like the Fender at all. I was using a
Rickenbacker at the same time. We thought we'd be the first surf
band to both use Ricks... Anyway I thought the Rick wasn't too bad
for surf. The neck reminded me of a Mosrite, and the bridge setup
reminded me of my Jaguar. I did put a bigsby on it.
