One for the Ricci lovers

So, i had a heap of off cuts and spare bits of tree hanging around...
What to do with them?

Build a homage to the Rickenbacker 4001, of course!

Next time i will clamp the body and neck the right way round :P

Cool DB. Looks great. Can you get genuine parts ?

Thanx Woks.

This one will have a Schaller roller bridge and a set of Tonerider Jazzies on board with just a volume control.. just to be different :)

Next time I go to my timber yard I will get me some Tassie Blackwood and build a proper neck through.
I have a good mate in the States that is happy to get me genuine pups and hardware for the next one.

Love it DB. Looking great. Maybe pretend it's a lefty?

Brendan, you are a genius! luv ya Bro! :)

The world is a better place because of Rickies, I reckon. If you build this as a lefty DB I may have to learn how to be ambidextrous. Is there room in the PBG community for a Rickynapper?

Ricky with Jazz bass pickups, kind of like the bass Ed Roman built for Dave Meros from Spocks Beard.
