Whoops, that was a slip of the keyboard, I meant 4001. Only the bridge is from a 4003.

ReIssue... But he got the bass for dirt-cheap (like: dirt-cheap!), I guess the horseshoe is half the value of the whole bass.

A friend of mine bought a Rickenbacker 4003 (the "mapleglo"), turns out it was probably manufactured on the same date as mine, and built by the same person (based on the signature and scribbling in the cavities). The jetglo is ...

I bet he was thinking about a Rick version of that

For the Lemmybass: 07.55. I'm sure that even Lemmy had to hand at least 50% of the defunct TRC to have it replaced... ( )

WOW, my picture, made by a cheap minicamera made it to the month of august... NICE!!!

1996, 1973, 2004 respectively.

Autumn gives a nice lighting over here.

Roger Glover's Rick 4001. With FW inlays and CB binding, 2 jazz-pickups (reverse poled, wired as a humbucker), and a Gibson minibucker underneath the bridgecover.

My '62 Precision, but I can't say that out loud over here I'm affraid

I really like the feel of the '73, with the flatwounds (I'm a sucker for that), but if I should use flatwounds on for example the BlueBoy instead of the 4001, the BlueBoy would be my favorite.

Because I'm a bassplayer, and I love bedroomgroovin', here some movies of me playing various Rick basses. A 1973 4001 Jetglo with flatwounds, and a 2004 BlueBoy and 1994 Fireglo with roundwounds.

Not really my first 12-er. I used to own a 360/12 some years back, but I sold that one because it really had a VERY slim neck, and with my 6.5 feet, and dito hands, it really was a bit too narrow... This 370 has got a little more "meat" on the neck, just what I need. The neck of a 660/12 is perfect ...

I was thinking. I have this guitar 3 days now, enough time for me to adapt to the awkward stringspacing and the humongous amount of strings, I'll give it a go. It didn't come out too bad. Pete recorded this song on his 360/12 MapleGlo back in the days, so yeah, it's "pretty accurate ...

HN370D is offcourse an acronym derived from HNGD (Happy New Guitar Day). More pics will follow, once I figured out how I can let go of the guitarstrap, and when the batteries of my picturemaker are back up and running. :)

Here with the '73 4001JG

So I decided to pull the plug, and to buy the guitar that haunted my dreams from the time I started playing, a 370/12 MapleGlo. On the local craigslist-like site I saw a 1999 370/12 for sale, about an hour driving from my place, already with the 12-saddle bridge installed (6-saddle bridge is also ...
