Stanley is playing a black Rickenbacker! You can't see the bass until 3 minutes into the song. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cQzMulHaW4s 811952 Senior Member Username: 811952 Post Number: 1917 Registered: 10-2003 Posted on Saturday, March 05, 2011 - 3:49 pm:    A Rickenbacker 4000 at that!

It was my 2nd bass guitar in late 60s and mine was sunburst.

Electra and Aria are the big ones that come to mind. I wouldn't mind owning one. I'd like to carve it up a bit and paint it psychodelic..

Ibanez and Univox made the nicest copies though, for a little while they even made some with the 2 outputs. My Ric copy is pretty rough though and really needs a fret job. Got her and a 15 watt Peavey practice amp that is LOUD for about $250ish so wasn't a bad deal at all. ~Taylor benson_murrensun Senior Member Username: benson_murrensun Post Number: 417 Registered: 5-2007 Posted on Monday, March 07, 2011 - 1:36 pm:    White pants.
