Just the pickguard.

The TRC and knobs are original ric parts, the pickguard was made by pickguardian to match the TRC.

Yea.... I can't think of a hotter bass than a '59 Ric 4000 - honestly in fireglo OR mapleglo. I'd take whichever I could get my hands on.

That's gorgeous man!I'm typically not much of a gold hardwear guy... but daaaaamn...




I never expected to find a Lefty gold TRC ever... so when I did... I immediately jumped on it. (thanks to this forum!!)

I'm surprised you guys aren't diggin on the oven knobs! The knobs complete it for me mainly because I also have 2 rics with the standard vintage style knobs.

Thanks for the kind words!

Nah, they stick ever so slightly, but I'm only ever going to use the tone knob for my bridge pickup anyways... and for the music I use this bass for- that's pretty much never.

Ok.. I'm sure SOMEONE else has done this.... I'm not that innovative, haha!

Regardless.....

Hi Paul,

I noticed on an acoustic ric bass (quite awhile ago) you had a gold Truss rod Cover made up. Mind if I ask where you had that done?

Thanks!

How about I take some better pictures, and then I'll register them?

So I'll be getting the 3rd (unloaded) cabinet in a few weeks, and I'm going to cut a new baffle and mount some neodynium speakers, put real castors on it and have a gigging cabinet. The problem is... what to put in it?!

Some things you all should know beforehand:

1. I play in the loudest band in ...

Tell you what.... see if you can't find me one of these Rickenbacker music note logos, and I'll trade ya.

Now all you need to complete the look on that T-70 is one of those elusive little "notes":

Wanna sell me yours?

While on the subject.. I take it no one has one of these lying around they'd be willing to part with?

Finally got them home earlier in the week, so here they are!

The Transonic 70 (which for some reason has Trem, reverb, fuzz)

Are these pretty rare or what?

About how many are there out there if one had to guess?

BAM.

The 200 is the loud?

My current bass setup is 700 tube watts -> 6 15's.... so I know loud pretty well, but I'd LOVE to have a go on a Transonic 200!

How does the 70 differ sonically from the 100 and 200? I would just assume it's a little thinner and brighter than the 100 and 200, but I have no ...
