4005's

I think at present - probably a 5 year wait could be expected. I'd be happy with that. I've been collecting for 20 years plus. What's another five years??

I think that is how much he was offereing to buy one for. He owns a number of nice '60s 4005s.

You know, rare stuff always pops up when your not looking so lets all pretend not to look.

I know it`s been a "tradition" at Rickenbacker to take special orders... Ever since 1931.

What kind of special orders?

You think they'd do an "S" model?

How about a "G" model? {:^)

I know that one of our "on-line" RIC dealers said they would place an order for 100 of a re-issue 4005, if it were ever offered. JH pretty much said the # of units doesn't really matter, but the fact that they are so booked/overloaded NOW with PRODUCTION units that they just couldn't do it....even if they wanted to.

The Japanese flee market guy said:-

"Rickenbacker 4005 Bass Is My Collection.
It Is Not For Sale.
Thank You."

Oh well.....keep looking.
