4001 74 w/ changed electronics ??

Post by kidvett »

I just got this JG 4001, made in February 74. Shows a lot of wear but good basic structure, functionnal rods, straight neck, no major cracks and original Grover tuners. A few replaced items on it: pickups ( 4003 hi output on it )pickguard ( have the original white one ), tailpiece...I'm unsure about the electronics as one jack imput doesnt work, some rewelding is visible, the ``green wires`` and the numbered ``mexico`` marked pots....

Do it looks right or it's all replaced stuff ?? I already know some work will have to be done to this bass to get it back in it's appropriate configuration....Here is a link to photos ( I have problems with resizing them to fit in the posting )

Thanks for the imput,

Marc

I can't access the photos either, but I can tell you the "Mexico" marked pots are original.
A Rickenbacker bass is much like the Jaguar E car - perennially ultra-fashionable.
