My first post here. Hello everyone!

Paul, I bought your book back in September 2013. I was not too familiar with Rickenbacker basses other than the 4001 and 4003 series. Your book is very informative.

Just ordered a 4003S Fireglo a few days ago. Can't wait to play my first Rick!

Paul,
I don't know how well you or your publisher did with this book(I hope really well), but I'm sure glad you decided to put it together, because I treasure my copy, and learned a great deal about Rickenbacker basses from it. Plus the eye candy contained within is fantastic! Thank you!

I got the book about a month ago when I returned to the Rickenbacker bass fold. I have several brand/instrument related glossy books, including a couple about the Fender bass. Paul's book stands head and shoulders above any of those other books.

Thanks to Paul for writing it and thanks to all of the people who contributed to the book in some form, including folks who proofread it and all of the people who contributed amazing
pictures from their collections.

Thanks, Thomas. Yes, the book would not have been a reality without the folks here. You'll find a lot of names here in the acknowledgements.
