Hey Johnny, got a question. I've watched you play all kinds of basses and you've even played basses l didn't really think much of and you've made them sound fantastic!! I like to know, of all the basses you've played, which one is your absolute go- to, favorite bass? And if you haven't already made a video about it, would you and explain why? Keep doing what you do. You're funny, nutty, but most important to me, a down to earth, person! Much love - MIKE SCHENCK

By far the best Rickenbacker demo I've seen. Anyone that claims Ricks aren't an ideal funk bass; the Rick will fill any genre, just depends on who's hands it's in. Proof once and for all a Rickenbacker is just as worthy a funk machine as is a Jazz bass.

Agreed. I’ve owned a few Ric’s and I have yet to find a situation they can’t handle. The newer ones are especially versatile with the vintage tone selector pot. The naysayers obviously haven’t spent much time with them. In stereo you get the “one trick pony” Geddy, Squire, Lemmy thing that the haters talk about. In mono you can EQ it to get just about any sound besides the Jaco thing. Great slap, great finger style, even a great Motown sound with the mute engaged. Absolutely love the things.
