4001V63 score...

Post by beatlejon »

Got this bass a few weeks ago from Chris at Pick Of The Ricks...it's a 1986, plays and sounds great! Has a few finish cracks but still in great shape for its age...

Congrats, Jon! :D That does look like a RI horseshoe, not an earlier magnetic shoe pickup, right?

Gah, I wanted that one. It's a great bass (despite the unfortunate Pascoe Provenance) - enjoy it. :)

I believe this bass is all original, no reissue parts.

What I meant by RI is the new type of horseshoe pickup vs. the vintage '60s type.
