Rickresource Rickenbacker Forum

Nice! ( i got one,2!) 8) So did you add the neck pickup yourself? Kinda sorta. I bought the bass new back in 1977. The store I bought it from suggested some modifications. They put in a brass nut (brass nuts were all the rage back then, and the nut was miscut at the factory, anyway), a Badass bridg...

Always do!

Me playing my white 4000 at a party yesterday (06/25/2016)

So there's little need for a lot of fretboard outside the G string, but a bit outside the E stri...

Now that this is back on the front page, maybe I should add my measurements.

I mean, my basses' measurements.

That is my actual bass. Here are a couple more pics. http://i87.photobucket.com/albums/k125/anzyk/4004Cii%20front_zpsfscz90uo.jpg And the back: http://i87.photobucket.com/albums/k125/anzyk/4004Cii%20front_zpsfscz90uo.jpg I seem to recall having this discussion before, and determining that this was n...

Looks a lot like this:

Well, you could always make me an offer! :D That's a beauty! <Checks pockets> Will you take $8.37? :mrgreen: Welcome to the RRF! Somewhat sad story, but keep looking, maybe horse trade if you have some other good basses...a new 4003s is about $1300 - that's s pretty strong deal in my eyes. The vint...

Everything I've read says that the 4003W has a satin finish, not gloss.
