As Per Requested...Pics of my Autumnglo (satin) 77 4001

Post by Quadzilla »

A member or two requested pics of my 77 in another thread here. Here are some pics and also a description of some work recently done to her. Since the pics, I also corrected the one saddle that was on backwards (and gave her a full setup). Stupid low, buzz-free action!

Got to say, I haven't been quite this thrilled with an instrument in a while! This 1977 Ric 4001 is just killer!
Kevin Brubaker was able to remove the truss rods, address the issues with them and reinstall them (without removing the fretboard). Kevin also fixed some slight-fretboard separation that was up by the first fret (next to the headstock).

He gave the frets a leveling too and now this thing has some really, really low, buzz-free action.
The tone on her kills (did the reversible, no-cap bridge pickup mod)! The icing on the cake is that it's a pretty rare factory color (Autumnglo in satin finish). Loving this bass!
She's a keeper!

I wish they'd bring back some of the nice classic finishes along with the black plastic option.

Thats a sweet example friend. I'm very envious. :D

Could only be cooler if it had the mixed b/w binding (neck one color, body the other) like Tony's has.
