Fattest Neck 4001/4003?

[rictified]

I always thought the mid 90's to late 2000's had the thick necks, I had a 92 with a thin neck. late 70's of which I've a few are medium (for Rick). That being said there are variations ever year or at least there were variations, don't know about the new ones.

Yeah, my 03 Monty is a baseball bat.

Seems to be a case of try before you buy and some variance. Oh well! Will keep my eyes peeled. Would love a 4002, they just don't come up any too often! Cheers for the prompt replies guys!

A forum member has one for sale for a very decent price. Have a look in the classified section.

Hiya, I am new to this site & have a Rickenbacker 4002 for sale; very decent price. Everything is original, with slight wear from usage although hasn't been used in years. Have plenty of pictures that can be sent/uploaded.

I appreciate any interest in this rare guitar & I'm looking to sell to the right buyer.

Thank you in advance.

Kat

Gee, hate to be a contrarian (sort of) but the necks on my '01 4003 and '73 4001 are practically clones. Both a very flattened D in cross-section, and as thin and fast as any bass I've ever played. I have an Epi EA-260 from the early '70s that's pretty much the same - maybe a hair thinner, but not quite as fast; and a couple of Dano DC Pros that are a smidge thicker and more of a flattened C, but a touch faster (feel almost Teflon coated). Overall, though, it's the Ricks by a nose. And, hello, Kat, from me also!
