Not really, I skipped to this one after one or two alineas: https://www.rickenbacker101.com/p/short ... ueglo-460s .

I think I bought binding for the new bodywings of my '68 over here. Maybe ask them if it is the right size?

Paint it black.

Did you PM Peter (admin) or Gil (gibsonlp)?

Both last active in January.

Congrats. Last time I had an ownership change a pb to admin still worked.

I remember a Rickenbacker catalogue or something (??) like that self-publisched/printed by Lulu. Isn't that an idea?

I meant this publication which a lot of you might have

Yeah - very curious about that. That's a factory 4004Cii/5 I assume?


Yes!


Really like the middle one. Is that transgreen I'm seeing?


Yes!

Mine has the known issue some off the 13 4004CII/5 basses can have unfortunately. B and G have lots less volume than the middle three strings. Still ...
