The classic "CHickenbacker"...
And the best part is the price!
AU $4,800.00?!?!?
I think it'd be over priced at AU $480.00

Wonderful figuring on the fingerboard, and nice clean grain on the body wings!

Very sad news.
Rest In Peace.

A friend of mine was visiting the studios of a very big "Regional Mexican" act down here in South Texas... and lo and behold, he sends me a pic of a bass that I correctly guessed was a '73. Turns out, based on the SN he was able to get me (MF 2481), that it's an instrument that's already r...

I vividly remember thinking that the pickguard on my old '77 4001 looked like "milky glass" when I first received it. Even though it had a beautiful semi-opaque quality to it, you still couldn't perceive the routed cavity beneath the controls. By the time I inspected another new Rick bass ...

Went a long while with a set of La Bella flats, then switched to Rotosound 77's for their "tauter" feel.
Been wondering lately about whether to try either the Optimas or the Maximas.
(I do love the way red silk pops against the headstock/truss rod cover, though)

I wonder if that center strip is still Shedua? Interesting how, depending on the angle of the light, the strip looks closer to the darker tone we're used to (as in the last pic) as opposed to how light it looks in most of the other photos.
Very pretty speci-mine!
