- Up for sale, a 1988 Rickenbacker 4001V63 owned and played by Chris Hillman of the Byrds. This unique customized vintage reissue Rickenbacker bass has been documented on the Rick Resource forum, and is unmistakable as one of two Rickenbacker 4001s owned by Hillman in the '90s.
This bass began it's life as an early V63 reissue, and was subsequently refinished by Rick Resource forum member Don Adamek, "Rick12dr," who also worked on Hillmans matching Mapleglo 4001. Along with the sleek black nitro Jetglo finish, custom gold pickguards were fashioned for this bass and it was fitted with a new cocobolo fretboard. The horseshoe pickup currently installed in this bass (with the shoes removed at Hillman's request) actually came from Hillman's Mapleglo 4001, which was heard on the Byrds' 1990 boxed set. A small Byrds decal on the gold guard rounds things out, and all the aforementioned mods/upgrades occurred prior to Hillman owning the bass. The instrument remains in the exact condition it was in when Hillman owned it almost two decades ago!
