Is it happening? A new 4005?!

Hi Folks,

At this stage nothing new on when they're available. I was told they expect they'll be released in summer (northern hemisphere), which is anywhere from next week to the end of August. I'm sure I'll hear from my dealer as soon as they land, so I can pay the balance owing.

I had some downtime today & I was taking a fresh look at the pics on the Rickenbacker website, and I noticed the 4005V looks like it's fitted with solid black control knobs. I like the look of the silver-topped knobs, so I just ordered a set of repros off eBay. If I end up hating them, or loving the standard set, I can always swap back. Meanwhile ..... waiting, waiting, wait ............ ting!

I may still have a set of silver-topped knobs in my parts box that were on the March '67 330 I had years ago. Not sure why I still have the knobs and not the guitar (I sold the 330). I don't have the smaller fifth knob.
