Stray, odd number Rick parts lying aroung
Hi people,
Just for fun, how about trying to do some trading or fair selling for some Rick bass parts that usually seem to wear away or you would like to replace. For instance I have the treble covers for several of my basses just sitting that go back to 74. I personally need one or two of the older boxed in Grover tuners used in the 70's. Several useful parts cold be finding new homes. Any takes?
Pickguards,knobs,tuers,bridges, etc. Many of us have either one,two, or three parts left over that need 4 etc. Any takes? Making $ is not the intent.

Rick bass fanatic. I own and play several professionally. I have a passion for the S models.
I have some screws for mounting the nameplates/tuners/treble PU surround, screws for mountig the neck PUs, big screws for mounting the treble pickups (with the letter H on the heads), and black allen screws that can be used to replace the easy-to-get-stripped saddle screws and can be adjusted with a 1/16" hex wrench.
They are all new, bought from my local screw shop. Those who need any, just ask. I'd love to help my friends out here.
I myself am looking for 2 uncut pre-2000 saddles. (Got my email, Randy?) Also looking for a Horseshoe PU surround.

Jeff: I like Ed's idea. Putting them on eBay with no reserve is certainly another way to go.
What I like about Ed's proposal is that there is a bartering or fair exchange component in which Rickenbacker owners get the benefit. On eBay, sometimes items are bought with the purpose of resale at a higher price.
Both ideas work in the end, and perhaps Ebay is less risky. I'm partial to an exchange between Rickenbacker owners who are not out to make money.

Life, as with music, often requires one to let go of the melody and listen to the rhythm

Ed: a very fine idea indeed.
Here's a list of the original 4001/4003 parts I can make available for free to anyone interested.
1 70s treble pickup mounting plate (black plastic);
1 bass pickup securing plate (aluminum);
1 Old-style 2-hole truss-rod aluminum block;
1 stereo jack socket;
10 washers (as fitted to jack sockets);
2 treble pickup height springs;
6 black plastic spacers (as fitted to treble pickup height adjustment screws);
1 somewhat beat-up black treble p.u. surround (no handrest);
A couple of white plastic washers (as fitted to strap buttons and mute pad height screws).
That's about all. I'm not looking for any particular 4001/4003 parts right now. Thanks for reading.

A Rickenbacker bass is much like the Jaguar E car - perennially ultra-fashionable.
Sergio - do you still have that black plastic mounting plate for the treble pickup? a screw hole on mine has stripped
