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...
Wow! That's about as much as any man can take.. 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.
A Rickenbacker bass is much like the Jaguar E car - perennially ultra-fashionable.
