![]() ![]() I gave it to the luthier I use and he needed to put a new fretboard on it. I bought a "Chickenbacker" off AliExpress, I wouldn't recommend it. I'd be fine with an unbranded/de-branded one, though. Possibly even cooler, because they're cheap and you can throw whatever pickups you want in there with zero concerns. If I wanted to spend that much.I'd be buying a vintage Offset, frankly.īut they're so cool. It's way too niche a guitar for me to pay "vintage Offset" money for. The vintage ones are crazy expensive, and the new reissue is even more expensive. ![]() I keep casually considering a 480/481-style Chickenbacker. It probably won't sound that much like a Rick anymore, but I do love me some noiselessness. The neck pickup is actually a humbucker already despite looking like a Rick toaster, so I keep threatening to get one of those Seymour Duncan bridge position humbuckers. The only reason I'd upgrade would be to get something noiseless. I keep thinking of buying some nice aftermarket pickups for it, but frankly, it sounds great as-is. It 100% killed any desire for me to buy a Rick. Regardless, it plays as well as any Squier or MIM Fender I've ever owned, and feels like a P-bass in terms of the neck, which is much more familiar and comfortable to me than an actual Rick. I have a 4003 I bought used that the seller claimed was a Canadian-made copy, but I just assume it's a Chickenbacker.
