Re: 2022 4003 CB SMG "Limited Edition"
Wow! I just picked this up last week from WildWood guitars in Colorado. What an improvement over my last 4003 Walnut. New bridge design, single truss rod, skunk strip, checkerboard binding, unfinished neck, vintage knobs, and a perfect mechanical and cosmetic build. I wasn't sure I was going to lik...

Re: Which pre-amp/DI stomp box do you use with your Ric bass?
The Tech 21 NYC DI-2112 (and it’s Rackmount equivalent GED-2112) are excellent and even eliminates the need to use RIC-o-sound in my opinion.

Re: Who wants to see an original 4001SB (B series 4001!)
I cover the abortive B model in the book. It was an interesting attempt to make a "vintage" model, and while a perfectly serviceable instrument, it really missed the true "vintage" vibe. That's when John Hall bought the company, ditched the B series, and started up the 4001V63 b...

The toaster pickup actually is all. But looking under the hood, it’s evident the pickup was not swapped (soldier looks good).

Who wants to see an original 4001SB (B series 4001!)
I came across this bass and initially thought it was a 4001S. Then realized it was an early 4001SB! Made in November of 1981, it must be one of the earliest examples (only example out there these days?) of the B series bass before they switched over to the 4003 platform. Anyhow, here are some pictur...

Re: How do you get your Rickenbacker’s appraised for insuran
No offense with this, but I think you have the wrong insurance company. Any instrument insurance should be covered at stated value only - no appraisal needed. If that 4001CS has $50k worth of sentimental value to you, then you should be able to insure it to that amount and pay for that level of cov...

How do you get your Rickenbacker’s appraised for insurance?
I recently got a 4001CS and figured it was time to have individual insurance policies for my basses.
For those of you with personal articles individually insured, what service did you use to get an appraisal? My insurance company suggested Christie’s, but that seems a little dramatic.
What say you?
