Geir, that looks just so beautiful. Nice burst pattern. Congrats!

Tom, try these stainless strings. You might just be surprised, and they last longer than the Rotos.

Me too.

Great looking bass from a great period for 4001 necks. Congrats!

The last time Ted posted on FaceBook was October 28, 2013.

Brought her to our gig tonight and played her like I stole her!! A few people had cameras and we tried recording with a Go Pro. We'll see if the fotos come out!! She held her own and more for the first set and she felt and sounded great!!! Founds out tonight she's a year older than our guitarist!! ...

When I suggested calling, I meant calling to find out if/when lefties would be in production. You could also find out about order cancellations and whether it happened or was just the dealer clearing his books.

Welcome to the RRF William. That is a tough thing to find out after this long a wait. Have you tried calling RIC Customer Service to find out about the lefty situation as to availability and the cancelling of your order?

Same here. That baby is STABLE and a good candidate for a conversion to 8-string.

The body dimensions are all wrong......

Count me in for Friday and send Saturday details.

Welcome to the dark side!

The depth would allow for adjustment up and down, but what was the thinking on the width? It seems like a lot of wood to remove unnecessarily at the neck/body joint. Gorgeous refin job BTW.

Yup, me too.

Rikk, it is possible the one with the rounded hole rout was a leftover from earlier production and it was finally finished and sold.
