I remember nearly buying a brand new 4001 exposed at a retailer in Rome back in 1983...I had no money

Thanks for the message Peter; I may not be fully up to date on the matter since I moved to Belgium in 2013.
I was in contact with Paul W a couple of years ago during his installation in Italy, but I see he's been silent here

This is very much like Fireglo looked in that period. I used to have a 4001 from the same period. Same finish

great

They must have been under special substances in 1967 at Rickenbacker
I have basses and guitars from 1966 and 1968….. necks are shallow too, but not THAT shallow as 1967s

"Shallow" is probably a better term. As stated, the necks on the new 4005V's are very shallow (from to back) and reminiscent of the 60's 4005 necks. Very comfortable to play. :D


good to know that the correct word is 'shallow'....
Based on my experience, 1967 is the golden year for shallow necks ...

EC missed the great opportunity to mind his own business and stay silent
