Rickenbacker began making basses back in the 1950's and since then has been saw as one of the most distinctive looking and sounding electric bass guitars in history.
As far as basses go it is the king of sustain aided by through neck construction, making those bottom end notes shake the house.
This bass has been used by the best players throughout time, Paul Mccartney of the Beatles and Rodger Waters of Pink Floyd were early users of the rickenbacker. However it has been seen used by many bands throughout the music scene, Glen Matlock of the Sex Pistols use dit in the Punk era and it has also been used by bands such as Motorhead and Metallica.
One of the most noticeable features of this bass is the double jack output, which eneables you to get the most of the lower (brighter sounding) pickup and the higher (bassier) pickup.
I have owned this bass for 3 years and would never revert to a different bass again. It is smooth to play and has never failed me and although this instrument is pricey it is worth every penny.
