4003 Red bass

[billschink]

I am trying to find out when this guitar was made and if I have the correct model. The serial # is YI1621. I have pix, but they are too big to load.

Resize the photos with whatever you have on your computer to no larger than 1280x1280 and 500Kb, then you can upload them.

William, have you used the serial number decoder on Rickenbacker's website?

What color is the fretboard?

Andy, if you're thinking Redneck, they were all made in late 1987 into 1988.

Neat zombie thread bump!
Don't forget Fire Alarm Red for the German market in the last few years!
