Wow my dream 4001! She is absolute class. What a fantastic looking bass.

This one is original, has nice figured maple, no walnut stripe with an astounding price...at £3250 it's been on sale a very long time. http://newkingsroadguitars.co.uk/guitarshop/RICKENBACKER_4001_-_1972_-_FIREGLO.html I phoned the fella a while ago to see if he would do a deal as I have been looki...

I know this thread is a bit old but I have just downloaded some photos from my camera (eventually!) and one caught my eye that may fit in here. Its my '73 BG leaning on my shed

Welcome to the UK! Rain is our default setting. Sorry!!!

I saw them in London last month, it's a fantastic show and yes they did do the whole of moving pictures which was the first tour I saw them on.

Nice one James, love Mani, just my era!

What a great tale, thanks for sharing! Like probably many guys here I too have a long lost Rick, an old 4001 FG. I was working as a Saturday boy in a music shop in north London when I was about 16 and a guy came in and traded in his battered old Rickenbacker for something shiny. I was a major Rush f...

Its very tempting I've got to say, but my credit card and I are only just recovering form a stag week in Vegas last November!

Do it!
