Thanks. I'm putting her in the hands of an expert. I obviously am not an expert!

I have found a luthier who says he has seen this problem a few times before, and can fix the problem. I'll post again after he does the job. Should be next month.

I realize this thread is sort of stale, but I seem to have the same problem. My 2006 620\12 Blue Burst is gummy on the back of the neck, body and headstock. I thought there was some sort of coating on it, and like an idiot, I scratched it with my fingernail. I put a couple of nice gouges in the fini...

Looks to me like that Photoshop job in the OP has the neck out of scale (too small with relation to the body) quite a bit, and that either we'd need a larger body (putting it back into Tuna Boat range) or a short scale neck. Meh... :roll: Lol ......my Photoshop chop job was done in five minutes. I ...

Rickenbacker has mixed and matched bodies, necks etc....to come up with new models before.....
Why not a 330 body and a 4003 neck?
Like a Rickenbacker Starfire bass!

Ever heard of this faker in Austrailia?

I would have put it on the Rickenbacker forum, but I was kicked off.

Another burst color is what I would like to see added permanently.
Green Burst.... Black Burst.... Brown(Monty) Burst....

Also....
I would just like to say...This is the longest thread I have ever started. Mine usually die after 3 posts.
