1968 4001 in 'Rickenbacker Appraisals'

Post by rickcrazy »

Check the beautiful 1968 4001 in 'Rickenbacker Appraisals'. Someone there claims that this particular Rick is a fake. I disagree. Except for the bridge pickup which obviously is not period correct and a couple of holes on the headstock, everything on the bass looks totally genuine and stock to me, even the mono output. Comments, anyone?
A Rickenbacker bass is much like the Jaguar E car - perennially ultra-fashionable.

Sergio: This is a legitimate Rickenbacker bass and will likely fetch a handsome price. My two cents.
Life, as with music, often requires one to let go of the melody and listen to the rhythm

Greg's not one to be taken in by a fake Ricenbacker, he's been at this game way too long. It looks like a modified 4001, I'm thinking 1800-2000 at the most with the current market.
