Are you willing to share some url's? Not that I want to buy, but I almost always like Rick pictures.

Why did RIC stop making 21 frets? That gives one more octave of E on the G string....

1971, I believe. Having said that, remember that the 4002 Model had 21 frets as well.

We need to get back to 21 frets...

Who needs 21 frets when you can have five extra low one's on a nice slim neck for a fraction of the cost?

(Thread has been officially hi-jacked-sorry)

Henny, I don't know if you've tried a Laredo lately, but the 05 model pictured above has a very flat neck profile which negates the affect of the wider fret board. Very comfortable as a five string, it's even flatter than my 03 Cheyenne(also a fiver), which still has a flat profile, just not as thin.

Hey Andy, thanks for the link. There's strong Rickenbacker magic to be found in there for sure. "We need to get back to 21 frets"? Oh yes, definitely.

Is a January 1971 21 fret 4001 too late?

YES! I mean, no, it's never too late for the ultimate Rickenbacker bass to show up anywhere it pleases. Welcome back, Grant, as it were.
