Subject:My Fender is now my second choice....
Quality: Very well built....I was very surprised, honestly...I've heard many complaints about new Rickenbackers lacking the quality of older ones, but it was exceptional right out of the box...I've owned 2 Rics before but never a brand new one...takes the cake for sure!
Features: Solid construction....very reliable....not too many tone options but that's not expected with a Ric...you either love the tone or hate it....
Sound: Classic Rick tone...though I prefer the more balanced tone with the tone knob pushed in on the bridge pickup...
Playability and Feel: Fast playing neck...the setup was prefect when I took it out of the box...I was completely blown away!
Tone: Very bright.... works well for heavier and more aggressive rock...not as focused in the low end as my Fender Jazz, but has a character all its own...
Finish: Flawless...it's a beauty!
Action: Again, I've read user reviews that dogged how the bass was setup when they bought it, but they must have gotten a bad egg...the action was perfect! I still can't believe how well it played....
