Paul McCartney, Lemmy, Chris Squire, Cliff Burton, John Entwistle, Phil Lynott, Robert Trujillo, Geezer Butler, Glenn Hughes. At some point or other, these and many other household-name bass players have wielded a Rickenbacker 4001 (1961-81) or its successor the 4003 (’82 to date), and what a joyous noise they make, too.

Sure, the Ricky looks a bit nuts; certainly, it sounds a bit eccentric. But it’s a stone-cold classic bass guitar that cuts through the most unfriendly mix and will be your friend for life. Don’t believe us? In this lesson, we’re taking on some of the Rickenbacker’s greatest moments. You’ll also get note-for-note breakdowns of bass lines on which the Rickenbacker really shines.
