Well, maybe in chemistry.

Former Milwaukee Brewer Jim "Gumby" Gantner, who was the Brewer's version of Yogi Berra when it came to vocabulary, once called the ability to hit from either side of the plate as being "amphibious." :lol: :lol: :lol:

I'm down the hill on Grandview & Pacific . Across the St. from the bowling alley . The station is still there but they built a new one a few years ago a short hop away on Venice & Inglewood . We don't get the plane crashes down here , knock on wood...

Does it still say "Please Fly Quietly" on the hillside by the airport?

...just a few weeks ago, I sold mine in a decent condition for 150€, cause neither the 4001 nor the 4003 fit tight in. At least they wobble head to tail. :(

I have NO idea what to do with those skinny stringed things... I'm just a bass player...

So I'll ask about a "vintage" case for the 3000.

Would a vintage guitar case from Ric be the right size?

I have an MF vintage Rickenbacker case too. The depiction with that photo on their site is a bit misleading. I ordered one for the SnowGlo, and it arrived, as the 'normal' vintage case one would expect. It also arrived in the familiar 'glass' Rickenbacker shipping box too. The SnowGlo fit perfectly.
