Leftybass family portrait

Post by leftybass »

I finally got time over the holiday weekend to take a pic of the left-handed 4001 basses I have up to this point, here they are:

From L to R: My original '79 4001JG, '72 4001MG(on the t-shirt), 4001V63PMC and 'Lazarus', the '72 4001 that Paul refinished to Burgundyglo...smile for the camera...Image

Neat, neat, neat! 4001 basses rule!
A Rickenbacker bass is much like the Jaguar E car - perennially ultra-fashionable.

Wow! That's about as much as any man can take.Image. And my very favorite one is in there too. Or should I say my two favorite ones - the 21 fret 4001 and the 4005 in the foreground.

Nice Ricks, guys!
