In as much as a bass can be jangly/chimey, the Rick bass is! 

It has a neck-through design, as opposed to bolt-on, and that helps bring out the brighter, higher end of the bass instrument's register.  It also has a lot of sustain.

Think Chris Squire of Yes, he really brought out its distinctive trebly sound.  Geddy Lee of Rush also played one during his earlier years.

Geddy Lee is why I wanted one.  Paul McCartney also played one frequently back in the 70's.  I think they make the most beautiful sound, those Rickenbacker basses.
