The FG seems to be all fire & no glo. Lovely & transparent though.
I have just bought a knocked about 330 & although I like my guitars in good condition, it does look pretty damn good & this one looks much the same.....nice.
'Rickenbacker'...what a name! After all these years, it still thrills me.

Sharp eyes John....It's the 64 that I'd been working on for the last three months. As usual with a bass from this period it has it's quirks and it's had the usual neck issues in the past, but apart from the p/ups is all there with a wonderfully aged dark F/G which is certainly one of the best imo...

I'll get some done in the next couple of weeks. It's hardly been out of the case since I picked it up. Fed Ex done a number "losing" it in Atlanta for a week while I tried to get them to send it to my home address.
When it came into town they still messed up and finally I went to fetch it from the depot myself. It was a long week's wait...

I'd like to second the request for more pics of the '64 Wints, that is one cool looking bass! It isn't often that you find a deluxe 4001 that early in that good a shape(if it is as nice as it appears in the photo above). I would've had a heart attack if they'd lost my '64 Rick in Alanta!!!
