It's been refretted as well.
Lovely bass!

Re: Fingerboard radius for 1972 4001
I've owned several '72 basses... they're 7.25". Same as the 60's basses.

It's a finish defect, plain and simple.
I've owned dozens of Ric basses, and played 100s... this is not the standard for Ric.

Re: McCartney's Rickenbacker 4001S neck
3rd and 5th fret dots are visible in this photo, so yes, both sides of his fretboard have markers.

You might find it cheaper elsewhere... Just be aware that the long Ric bat won't fit.

It most certainly was (if it was original)... they all were since that design was created, until the spring of '73.prowla wrote:My '72 gap-tooth bridge wasn't aluminium.

Re: Remaking the Horse Shoe bass bobbin again.
