Lovely example. Still not many stories like that one. Hope you got the neck sorted out out Tony!

Now, where's that blonde stack knob jazz!

Possibly the best example of an early 70's AZG I can remember. I'll concur with chef and say very late '71, especially as the other two examples are December basses.

Fabulous!

Larry has done much more to much less!

Nothing here that can't be fixed with time and money!

Without question, one of the best "finds" we have ever seen on the RRF. Even with the information available on this site, these guitar's have probably been the least discussed out of all production instruments! Congratulations to the new owner :D ...and the Rickenbacker community as a whole!

Congrats!

Cheers Mr B! That's what a night out with the very hospitable Tony C, coupled with next day lunchtime wines (after a 3 hour drive) does!

This goes to show what a great thing a registry is, especially when someone like Brian keeps a very close eye on what's going on. Kudos to him and everyone else who is keeping...

I know what you mean. Now try a Höfner 500/1. It'l feel like a toy and make the Rick feel like an anvil! The typical German-made Höfner weighs less than five pounds. :D Now we're into the acoustic section Paul. :lol: This is a Hofner free zone! 8) Then try an older 4005... I don't have a slip for a...

Congrats Andy! It looks fantastic!!!

And kudos to Larry...brilliant job!

Thanks Tony! Larry's work here was superlative!

How much has the weight changed Andy? Most of these early basses were pretty light... It's very light Sean. I can't remember if it felt heavier before...it's been too long since I played it on a regular basis. What I do realize after playing my 60's Jazz and P bass mainly for the last couple of yea...

I do JB. Larry and I came to the conclusion, that it too, was possibly not original...but, it's still here!

I wouldn't have been surprised if I lost a little hair there Jeff! Thankfully all good in the end!
