Rickenbacker 4003 Why Rick-O-Sound Kicks Ass!🎸

The Rickenbacker 4003 is a beast!
In celebration of Movember and Lemmy Kilmister of Motorhead I take this bass apart and explain how Rick-O-Sound works before demonstrating it.
In addition I also explain how they went from dual "hair pins" to dual truss rods and show the safe way to not only adjust your Rick, but any other instrument with a truss rod.
