WooHoo! Happy 4000th, Gary! Image Those are 15 very fine Rickenbackers! (regardless of which post they went into) No 4005 either? Image

# 4005 is a bit of a stretch: this one is technically an RM3261, but it's a 4005 with an f-hole ...

I don't have a 4008, either, so the next (and last!) "stop" for me will be post # 4080 ...

Congrats, Gary! I need to do some sound comparisons of slash holes to f-holes so please send the RM3265 to my lab, thanks.

Gary, I saw a 4005 (RM3261) just like that on eBay maybe a year ago, maybe more than that. There can't be many of those around.
Very nice posts!

Robert, Gary's 3261 is the same bass. It was advertised in the UK first, then found it's way to the US, where it was advertised again and eventually purchased by Gary. It's even nicer in the flesh.
