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

Awesome Peter, what a fantastic bass  :whoohoo!: :thumb-up: :metal: .  At least something good to come out of the COVD situation.
Studio Rig: Stuff; Live Rig: More Stuff; Guitars: A few

"Bassenbakker"   I love it :thumb-up:

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

   Very nice work Peter
I only have two brain cells left, ...and I'm saving them for the weekend!

Whow!! Nice looking axe, my man, very very nice. You should think about selling your wares. I can see people paying good money for your custom builds  :thumb-up:

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
