I think Rickenbacker basses were available in 1963/1964...I
know old John Entwistle was using one in the High
Numbers/Who in 1964...
Ric guitars and basses were very expensive in those days
(they still are!)...when compared to a Fender Precision,
the Ric was , like, 3 times more costly... So instead of
$500 (for a P-Bass...you'd be dropping $1500 for a Ric
bass)...
Rickenbacker and Mosrite were the "top of the line" Deluxe
back then...Fender was aimed more at the Average Joe
Paycheck. Danelectro was geared towards the "little money"
guy...and the "beginer's" market.
