Rickresource Rickenbacker Forum

Last year i bought a Rickenbacker 4001 in bad state. It has been in storage for almost 30 years.

Picture one: Ugly sticker (first action was to remove the sticker), ugly pickguard, fake knobs, dirty bass.
Picture two: Neck crack

I cleaned al the parts, bought a replacement pickguard. Next step ...

Thanks, i will . The cracks doesn't really bother me.. it just adds to the mojo.

The bass has spend quite a time in storage at the previous owner, so that might be the reason.

Thanks Jim and Jason.

I have a '87 4003. It has the same cracks on the binding. Lovely bass with a lot of character.
