Rickresource Rickenbacker Forum

Thanks that is exactly the answer I was looking for. Incidentally, the case that came with my 72 4001 will fit a geddy lee jazz bass (which I don't know if it is shorter than the real 60s/70s). Which now makes me wonder if what I have in fact is actually a no logo Fender case.

Were vintage 60s-70s Fender and Rick hardcases made by the same company? Are the shape/dimensions the same? ie: would a 70s 4001 case with orange lining be the same as the one of the late 64-66 no logo Fender cases?

congrats

and definitely AZ

So how low would this have to go to make it a viable project? I've seen it in person. Its more of a crack in the neck than a mere separation.

nice. somewhat uncommon 4003 in AZ given the short overlap of beginning of 4003 and end of AZ

So recently I've been on the hunt for an early 70s white delrin nut. I know the pics are a terrible, but is this nut consistent with such a nut?

Kind of barbaric, but you could try using a flathead screw driver and gently prying them up a little. It'd be best to clamp down the fretboard around the first 1st fret or so to make sure the fretboard doesn't pop up.

Looks like a pretty legit transition era 4001. Ie: too late for full width inlays but has toaster and checkerboard binding.

Wow. July seems so far away. Is there a low print run? ie recommended to pre-order? Also guessing no hardcover?

Is this a Rickenbacker case? The bass obviously not, but is the case? Did the old cases have any distinguishing details not found on other cases?

Also depends how loud u can get at home! I had an old ampeg v4 that sounded fantastic with my 4001. Even at 100W it was probably too loud for the house.

yea save some for the rest of us

My brother has a vintage jag in car that has faded to that color. Very cool. Also CB + BT = yum.

it'd be pretty funny if the made in usa stickers were made overseas
