Not too long ago, somewhere in the Forum someone posted a 'Rick hall of shame' in the form of various photos showing mostly 4001 basses having undergone the most outlandish - and stupid - mods you could ever imagine. I believe some of said photos can be found at www.the-music-connection.com
A Rickenbacker bass is much like the Jaguar E car - perennially ultra-fashionable.

One or two years ago someone in Europe sold on eBay a couple of modded guitars; IIRC, one had started out as a 360 and the body was reformed in the shape of a teardrop Vox. I think the other was the guitar half of a 4080 doubleneck.

I stand by the 4001 electric sitar as the weirdest mod.
