Oh yeah, bring it on! There's always room for more.

Or keep them closed...

:lol:

That "Bottle Green" bass was actually for sale for all of a half an hour before someone snapped it up.

That was me. The 4030 is a great concept - tad different, great tone and looks. I love the ...

I bet that trans red Cii suits you better. Let me buy that Trans Green Cii from you. Solved!

That's too bad. Had checked this pricelist last week, but didn't even notice the 4004 was no longer listed. Although I already have a few 4004s, I still have a trans green on my wishlist.

Congrats - it's gorgeous!
I was lucky enough to lay my hands on one as well.

Agree. I've used a LaBella 760FS set for while on my '93 4001V63 MG, which is built like a tank. Knowing the LaBella set might be too heavy for it, I gave it a try, but I've closely monitored (measured) if no positive neckangle would develop, and it did... although it sounded fabulous (big LaBella ...

That's correct - have them in stock (Optima dealer). The best flats I've used on a Rickenbacker so far. Exactly the sound and (comfortable) feel I had in mind.

What a great idea! There is a 4001C64 in Fireglo for sale on Talkbass right now in the classified section for a reasonable price.

I build a lot of Fender-like basses and I think I have this wiring scheme in PDF on my harddrive, so I can email it to you. I'll check tomorrow. V/T/blend works very well on a PJ bass, I use it a lot.

I use this LaBella 760FS set on a '05 4003. Had to adjust trussrods a bit, but no problems with taillift (so far!).

Thanks for the warm welcome!

Thanks, and noticed those. Color is more as faded / yellowed BB with more green in it.

Cool, so you ended up buying this one. I would restore it to a 4000, no doubt.

Thanks for the warm welcome!

@ Paul: thanks, I stand corrected, edited it. The odd thing is...I saved a picture of the controlcavity which seems to state Ruby, but ofcourse the finish was Burgundy:

Have been lurking on RRF for a while, but thought would be nice to introduce myself a bit. Don't know if this the right subforum, but as a bassplayer this subforum feels good.

Although I've been more or less a member of the Precision Bass-church for ages, I have a healthy Rickenbacker fetish as ...
