Those raised lip Bobbins are made from vacuum form patterns...I recently found out this info from the guy who worked on McCartney's bass at the Rick Factory and also rebuilt and refinished Squire's bass...If ONLY someone could find or make the Vacuum form pattern....I know of a couple of shops that ...

Here's one that sold 7 months ago last year for $3250...plus $75.00 shipping...and mine is 2 days earlier..... https://reverb.com/item/15354119-rickenbacker-4001-v63-bass-guitar-1984-1985-early-production I just don't like being accused of "Flipping" a bass when that is NOT what I am doing...

Before you guys rip me a new A$$hole, I had something come up...unexpectedly...Personal...It's no one's business... But the bass IS a fine and RARE instrument and I wouldn't sell it if I didn't have too...So I'm asking a fair price INCLUDING Packing Materials: Box, Tape, Peanuts, Strapping Tape... $...

I'm New here. Not sure how to get in touch with Him

Yeah so NOW I think only the shoes were left over...Wish I could ask John Hall

If He was gonna do that to a Vintage original Paisley tele, why didn't he just acquire another Vintage stripped fender body or AllParts or something and do that??? Incredibly stupid if you ask me....Hell...I'd Love to see a RM1999 done in Paisley

Yes, Hope you don't mind that I borrowed it, Its exactly like the one in my 84/85 v63

I found these pics in an old post but these are exactly what mine are. This is from the same year bass...now after More info, I'm finding that these are the 1st Gen reissues that have magnetic shoes...whereas from 1986 on the are the current one. I did hear somewhere that the horses could very well ...

No, the Bobbins look like Hi-Gain or the Horsey reissue horseshoe pickups. Now a guy on FB told me that the only thing vintage about the pickup is the horseshoe magnets...and thats the pickup was built in the 80's using leftover magnets...Can somebody ask John Hall ???

I was told yesterday on the FB Rickenbacker Guitar/Bass page by a collector that the magnetic horseshoe pickup were NOT leftover from the 1960's....does anyone know whats up with the history of these pickups??? I LOVE this bass..

No I'M Not...She's married to the wrong man...I'm unemployed...so I'm selling what I have to buy these crazy basses under the Radar!!!LOL!!

If I had cash in Hand, My wife would snag it from me!!!

Love that 4000!!!! Man... I'd Trade My mint unbroken '65 Thunderbird II for that!!! Why don't you just sell the T-bird outright, you will get far more money that way, then, go buy a 4000, and pocket the difference (your profit from the sale of aforementioned TB). :wink: Where would I EVER find a 40...
