Rickresource Rickenbacker Forum

Nevermind, I just saw the list price for a new 4003. Talk about inflation.

Has Rickenbacker really increased their price that much? I remember almost buying a new Monty Brown 4003 from Mike Parks for under $1100

I'll admit that I've been out of the loop in the last few months and stopped GAS'n over Ricks, but has the price of Ricks really jumped that much? Someone over on another forum is selling their 2003 Monty Brown 4003 for almost $2000. Someone else sold their Jetglo 4003 for almost $1700!!

The near mint '79 4001 I inherited from my father was bought with a '70's Les Paul and a Peavey Classic 50 watt 4x10 for only $1000 total. This was about a decade ago.

On a side note - When he took the 4001 to Nashville someone walked up to him after he finished playing it and offered him $1000 ...

I'm not sure what that is, Ted. Is that sandpaper or a cleaning wax?

well I have a present for myself coming, two actually. an Eden WT300 will be arriving shortly and my '87 4003 Tuxedo should be here anyday now! Christmas is coming early this year, I dig it.

so what is the standard height of lift then? or are they supposed to be exactly flat with no gap at all?

While we're on the topic of yellowing, what would be the best way to take the yellowing off a Tuxedo? I much rather have it all bright white, is there a way to restore the original factory color without getting too nasty like a refin? Although I may change my mind once it finally arrives.

i play mostly with a pick as well, i just pick the same way i would with a guitar except for when i triple pick. when i triple pick i find that using my index and middle finger holding the pick against my thumb as opposed to just my index finger allows me to have a lot more control. i'll usually use ...

one my favorite finishes without a doubt, though i think it looks better on the 4003's than the 4004's

what a tool. could his auction get yanked for false advertising?

maybe Mr. Hall could shed some light on this mystery
