Just sold my Ric for a Ray....

[rizzo9247]

Well, I pulled the trigger, and let me tell you, its been a long time coming. I look forward to long and prosperous relationship with my new Transulcent Teal Stingray5 H. I had a Rickenbacker 4003 jetglo that I enjoyed playing, but my thirst for the Ray proved too powerful. I won't go into the whole comparison thing, but I assure you I am a happier man today. I will post pics next week when it arrives...

Booyah!

Excellent choice. I love the 5er's but I'm to old school to start getting used to and learning how to play one.

Use it in good health and Welcome to the Forum..........

Good score. I know a cat in Chicago who has a trans teal SR5 and it's beautiful. He has a tort PG and a white PU cover on it, if I recall correctly.

I always wanted a ric, and finally got one a few years back. It was beautiful, and was really a nice instrument, but I could not get used to the feel of it.

MusciMan basses just feel more natural to me (and the Fenders, of course, because that is what I started out on).

I sold my 1974 Rickenbacker 4001 Bass last year and bought a Stingray. I was frustrated with the Ric as the input jacks were ALWAYS intermittently going out. I had it repaired three times, but it never got any better.

I love the Stingray, but in retrospect, I think it probably wasn't a good move. The Rickenbacker was probably worth more than I sold it for. I should have sent it to the factory for repairs before giving up on it.

Oh well, what's done is done. The Stingray feels and sounds better anyway. However, I will say that the Rickenbacker basses look really really cool.

Geddy and Cliff used to play them.
