"i easpecially like the piano like tone"

Feature:
the tone is outstanding, i ve never had a single problem out of it!

Quality:
with 30 years the only thing,,the only work i ve ever done is to remove the pickguuard on my old ric is a chrome pickguard and i ve just broke one string!

Value:
well i bought mine new 30 years ago,, but would like a new one,, just a different color

Desirability:
i like it because of the "piano" type bass sound

Sound:
i have played the same ric for thirty years and owned all other types including gibson a fender but i always go back to my ridkenbacker!!!!

Ease of Use:
it s just a basic set up you should figure it out right off

Support:
i ve never had any problems i ve got a 360 and a 320 too no problems there either

Overall:
i just want another color one

"Sexy blonde with attitude."

Feature:
Great accessories. Difficult to mute strings with horseshoe piece in place but it has an automatic mute control via foam pad. Raise the pad until it touches the base of the strings to get that unique sound. takes some practicw to get used to it.

Quality:
Perfect

Value:
You're paying for tons of style and history. The sounds can be obtained for cheaper elsewhere.

Desirability:
I love it. Lots of appeal.

Sound:
I bought mine this year and it seems to buzz loudly due to the single coil pickups. Tone is great though.

Ease of Use:
I'm still working on it.

Support:
They talked to me while I was waiting for the product. and waiting....

Overall:
like sex appeal. don't like buzzing.

"Try it before you buy it!"

Feature:
it has a vintage/normal switch, which switchs between the normal sound of the brigde pickup and a vintage sound... cool and usefull feature..

Quality:
the bass is really well crafted, and the finish is great... but the electronic is really bad.. when I received the bass both pickups didn't work as they should, the output of the E string was much lower than the other strings, which almost make it impossible to play with a band.... so both pickups needed to be replaced... at a cost of 200 dollars as the warranty didn't cover it. on a brand new instrument! that is not accepteble!

Value:
a instrument that cost 1300 dollars should not have any flaws or defects... so that is not every good...

Desirability:
even with the defects you can't say that the bass is cool is has tons of sex appeal!

Sound:
good classic sound...

Ease of Use:
great bass it is easy and fast.. the neck is really nice..

Support:
the support is not good, I wrote three emails to rickenbacker before I got a response.. and the response was not a complete answer on my complaint... they just say that the warranty didn't cover...

Overall:
a cool bass guitar! but beware of defects! and try it several times before you buy it, check for defects in the electronic! otherwise it is a really cool bass!
