v63
Does anyone know if Rickenbacker has any plans to reintroduce the v63 bass from the 1990's?
Re: v63
Probably not, but they do pop up on eBay often enough and in the Marketplace section of the Forum as well...

I have always considered the 4001V63 the quintessential all-round Rickenbacker bass guitar....
Re: v63
RIC has reissued the 1963 model and the McCartney variation, now it's time they reissued a deluxe model, with checkerboard binding and crushed pearl inlays.
Preferably a v68 in Amber Jetglo, if they asked me.

Re: v63
RIC hints occasionally of redoing the "dot neck" vintage version. They made a batch for (mostly) a Japanese distributor in 2010 and called it simply the "1999" (referencing the Rose Morris model designation for those exported to the U.K. and Australia). I suspect that we'll see them again someday.

Pick of the Ricks has one in stock. A 2000 model.
