Re: Serial Number
Thanks for the information regarding the serial number. It is a black 4001 with white checkerboard, and in just about mint condition. As soon as I figure out how to reduce the size of the photos, I will submit them. Gary

Serial Number
I have a Rick bass that I have owned since the early '70's It was manufactured in Sept. '72, according to the company information. However, there is lettering on the top of the plate. I do not know the meaning of this. Can anyone tell me more about my bass? Serial # LI 915.
