Fantastic. Good that it got back into the right hands.

I'm supposed to be going to see this. It'll be for the Ric apperances.
Just kidding, but it sure doesn't hurt.

I think it all depends on what style you are playing. I have a 4003, a 4004 Cii and a 4004L. I use them all and it really depends on what kind of bass sound I am trying to emulate.

For our Cream tribute set the 4004 Cii is amazing -- it sounds so much like Jack Bruce's humbucker Gibson sound if I ...

All of this sounds sweet. Are they still making them? I thought they were only cranking out 4003s.

So I've had 4004's in the head for the past few days. I really don't know much about them. I know they have different models; the 4004L and 4004cii, ect. Can anyone enlighten me on these basses? How much different do they sound from 4001/3 models? I guess I never really paid attention to them much ...

So I just saw an interview with Ozzy Osbourne that came on after the channel 2 news. I believe it was a Nightline interview. I've seen a few of these before.

Wow. Pretty amazing. I couldn't tell from the darkness, but because of the electrics and wiring, did they just do away with the whole semi-hollow feature or just the hole/opening?

You could also search 'rickenbacker 4005' on YouTube.

Anyone ever seen one of these before??

It doesn't come in until near the end, but it's pretty interesting. Anyone here in the video? Or have another one of these basses? I can't imagine very many being made.

I went by there this afternoon; that 330/12 was looking mighty nice. It'll be a good day to the lucky one who snags it.

Blue Boy and Sea Green sure are beautiful. And I personally love brick shades for fretless Rics; autumnglo, fireglo, ect.

But for a great all-around more common color I would love to see added, I'd have to give my vote to white.

Fantastic news!

I went to look it up, and to my suprise, I've been there a few times! Even better news.
