Rickresource Rickenbacker Forum

I'd prefer the original one. This one looks like its so big its hanging off the back. And as Ilan said there will be visible screw holes if you tried to change it back.

I've been playing Bass for 24 years now (Ricks for 22). I play fingerstyle with two fingers and a thumb. I like the sound of a pick but when I try it, its like I might as well be playing with a drumstick!

Mike Parks sold a 4001v63 (its still on his website) and another 4001v63 also sold on ebay right around the time that Tim sold his. I've also seen two or three 4003s sell on ebay in that color. I'm a fan too and almost bought Tim's.

So I guess that makes 6: 1) Scott 2) Rath 3) Thomas 4) Geralde 5) Ulmer 6) Pokorny(First one of those I've ever heard of!) And about Donna Reed. WOW! I get all warm and mushy every holiday season when I see "It's a Wonderful Life!" Talk about a yummy mummy! Did she have any daughters/grand...

U lucky dawg! I want it too...did they have any more?!!!

Maybe an artist's rendering of a thick-tailed, screeching cat that's shackled to my bass amp!

Steve-
No worries mate, and thanks for the welcome!

I think that counts. But he'll have to be the Geoffenbacker. Is that sort of like a Terminator?

I'm the new guy, and I make three. Glad to see another Jeff (Jeffrey Scott) with at least two first names. I occasionally get flack for having three first names(Jeffrey John Thomas) from people who have nothing better to complain about!

Hey now....my friend Tim didn't mean to start a JEFF rumble, its just that he told me about the forum about two years ago, and I hadn't gotten around to registering and posting anything 'till yesterday. Imagine his surprise when he answered my post and then realized that it was from me, the crazy Ri...

Melissa- I'm new to the forum, but I've been a reader for a while. Now I can speak! I too, am the happy owner of a 4001v63 in Jetglo(and 6 other Rick basses as well!) I think that now makes at least 5 forum members who have one. Sadly they're not looking so rare anymore! Oh well I still have yet to ...

Nice job Tim. I hope it becomes your favorite axe. What did you use on the body?
