Something very special is making its way through the factory

[jps]

Do you have this wired VVT for the rest of the pots?

Great jobs, guys (even though you forgot about the headstock binding )! I see you have flats on it, cool choice for the 4002BD. The inlays pop nicely on the ebony fingerboard.

Thank you Jeff!!! It's actually just got the standard RIC round wounds on it, I cant stand flats!

Thanks for the correction; the close up shot of the fingerboard when zoomed in some gave me the impression the strings were flats.

Why only 20 frets?

Well,that didn't turn out half-bad!

That is seriously one of the best looking basses I've ever gazed upon. (And i recently gazed on a factory white 4005, also cool)
Congratulations!

Big +1!! Welcome to the Rickenbacker owners who hate flats club!!

Congratulations! Definitely a cool mesh of old and new. I'd make my own tweaks to it, of course, which is probably why RIC isn't going to reissue the model any time soon -- I imagine it is hard to agree on exactly how to do something for standard production.

It is neat to see the Hi-Gains with different pole spacings on the bobbin, it makes the idea of a (non-HB-1 equipped) 4002 seem more possible. Now if only they'd make the bridge pickup RWRP...

It's wonderful to see something different roll off the line . That is one beautiful instrument !

I'm hoping to see it in person...maybe even play it.

If you do, please let us all know your impressions!

Joey just let me know if you'll be stopping by the factory anytime and I will make sure its here for you to play!

Brendan:

I think it is really cool that you added your new bass to the Register!

Don't forget to add some pics to the entry as well. Also I think under Special "Ric-One-Off" would apply.

As to the finish "Custom" is what I would choose.

So how does it play and sound? I confess to being very curious as to how it sounds. Perhaps you could do a quickie you tube vid so we can all hear it.
