Bass of the Week: Rikkers Guitars Hollowline
Based on the the company’s Powerline model, the Rikkers Guitars Hollowline is distinguished by a chambered body that makes all the difference. “Not only do [the chambers] reduce weight significantly, they also make for a remarkably resonant and transparent tonal character,” Rikkers shares on their website.
Each bass is custom built to order with a plethora of options. Rikkers prefers set-neck construction, though neck-through and bolt-on versions can be made. It’s built with your choice of woods for the body and neck. It comes standard with an ABM-Ghost piezo system as well as an Aguilar OBP-3 preamp and pickups of your choice.
Rikkers Guitars is based in Holland, where all their basses are made by luthiers Ferdinand Rikkers, Jacco Stuitje, and Herman Mulder.

Beautiful. By the way the front page linked still points to last week’s bass.
Should be all fixed. I was wondering about the comment you left on last week’s bass, haha.
