Title: Last of the three 'Covid-builds' basses finished
Post by: Peter H. Boer on June 19, 2022, 03:34:59 AM: I finished the last of three basses that were started with Covid lockdowns.

Always wanted a Rickenbacker (for sound and looks) but didn't like the real ones to play and pay for (ouch, they're boutique expensive for 'simple' factory bassses).

So I build me one ;D, meet Ricky

That looks like the kind of wood selection you'll never see from Rick.

Very nice work Peter

I do not want to turn this into a job though, I work enough hours at my regular job as it is O:-)
I do build for friends (at cost price), the rest will just have to watch in envy >:D

Very nice. I love that paint job!
Thanks :D

No paint involved though, just the A-grade quilted maple, blue stain (no stain for pickguard & trussrod cover) and clear lacquer.
The wood does all that work O0
