1st Build RCA-4

[UpperCaseH]

I can't wait to hear how it sounds, the Rickenbackers are my favorite looking basses and you've pulled that finish off superbly.

Replacement 3 way switch arrived and fitted, all being well should have some time to get a sound demo recorded tomorrow. Sansan, the action is great, 2.5mm at 12th fret with no buzz. I put the strings on that came with the kit just for set up purposes, but with the Rick bridge the E string is not long enough but now it's finished I'll put the new set on. Hows your's coming?

I did replace the stock bridge with the Hipshot rickenbacker bridge, and the mock build reveals some little high action, so i have to carve out 2 mm on the body. Have to check again..

Thanks Dave.
I got round to loading a demo in the sound thread earlier, iPhone recording doesn't really do it justice though :-)

Dude, the finish looks amazing.

You mentioned Rattle cans for the clear coat, what exactly did you use?

Please let us know. And thanks!

Awesome finish, really cool looking build.

Great job Pumpy.
I am in the early stages of my own RCA build so keeping a close eye on what others are doing with them.
I think they look great in black but I already have a black guitar and bass so want to do something different with mine.
The carbon fibre finish was a brilliant idea.
It is both inspiring and intimidating to see what great work is done within this community :-)
