Deluxe Features

Post by dead_in_okc »

When did 'Deluxe Features' (inlays,bindings)become available on the Ric basses? I've read and seen some that have said mid 60's, but have seen a pic or two of a 4000 from 1959 with them...

November '61 was the official introduction of the 4001 which has the deluxe features but there were a few 4000 models made with deluxe features before that. See the photo on page 102 in Smith's Rickenbacker book that shows a 4000 with deluxe features in '60.
