You and your 72's ken... trying to make us all jealous. ;P
great refin job by the way. Doing something yourself always makes it feel closer to the heart (I didn't mean to quote rush... too much looking at rics I guess). The mapleglo 72' I am getting has been around also, but as my second ric I would never have the heart to touch it.

kjs - How did you hide the screw holes from the old bridge? I have those 4 and three other screw holes to hide. I figured I'd have to paint rather than finish due to those holes. I zoomed in on yours and I do not see them? Got a secret?

The wood on that bass is so nice, it looks like birds eye maple that was used of the 4002 basses.

I took some more shots,this time outside,the neck on this thing is super skinny,thinnest neck Ive ever seen on a Rickenbacker.There are some shots of the filled in screw holes [bottom and top of the tailpiece]
Jeff thanks for the tip that was driving me crazy.This is only a test,lets se what happens.
