Rickresource Rickenbacker Forum

Hi all,

I'm looking for a set of knobs for my 4001. Will Rick guitar knobs fit the 4001? I posted a WTB ad within the Rickenbacker wanted section.

I've gotten some killer deals on Ricks, none this good though. Best I have done is $850 for my 4001 None more black...how about you guys?

Hey all, I've made my decision. I wanted to say thanks to the members here, helping me decide on which to keep.

After much playing over the weekend and going over each bass with a fine tooth comb, I have decided to keep the Jet-glo. Not only is it the rarer of the two with the black accents ...

I put a set of the Hipshot tuners on my Azureglo, I actually like them. The quality is there and the 27:1 ratio really makes a difference. Plus they are an exact replacement, which means no modifications.

Thanks guys, I'm still doing some research on both of them. Is it true that only 1% of all Ricks were ever painted Azureglo? I was looking for production numbers for 1980, can't find any info. Jetglo's from that era seem commonplace, finding one with the black accents has proven a harsh reality ...

Hey all,
