Roger Glover's (Deep Purple times) influence on

anonymous · Post by **anonymous** » Fri Jun 08, 2001 3:25 am

I have seen two images of 4001s related to Roger Glover. One of him, playing a jetglo 4001(400X?)bass with two Jazz Bass PUs in the neck position (kind of diagonal twisted). The other one is of Pete Agnew, bass player of the band Nazareth, when Roger produced their LPs (Razamanaz, Loud 'n' Proud, Rampant), with a fireglo 4001(400X?), having the same neck PU constellation.
How come??? Does anybody know more about this modification. Both basses had professional looking pick guards, not "dude-cut" ones.

On Machine Head (1970) their are several pictures of a stock Jetglo 4001, and the whole album sounds it too.

What's funny is that there's the back of a Fender bass headstock on the back cover though it was nice that Mr. Glover played his 4001 on most of the songs in that classic album.

Wouldn't it be an eye-pleasing back cover if it was a RIC headstock?

You can see Roger with a Rickenbacker 4001 Jetglo bass here.

Oh yeah, Peter.
Those 3 pictures have been appreciated and downloaded into my HD even before I registered here.
Thank you for this wonderful site!

In that top picture is there a off axis jazz pickup in the neck position, or am I seeing things? I see what Peter was talking about now.
