'73 4001 Jetglo
'05 4001C64 Fireglo strung with TI Jazz Flats
'06 4001 AFG

I have a '99 4001v63, but I'm not sure how much longer I'm going to keep it.

Just the one at the moment.

My 1972 MG 4001.

A 1979 4001S Burg in on its way from the US.

'85 4003 MG BT
'92 4003FL FG
'82 4080 FG

I record mostly with the doubleneck bass since it has the best sustain (that huge maple body).

I play out with the 4003's though because they look COOL.

3x 4003: Fireglo, Blue Boy and Midnight Blue.
All from last few years.

http://www.crazeeworld.plus.com/images/kerbcrawlers/guitars/gang_of_four.jpg

Despite protestations that the colour will degrade and it will go green, my Blue Boy remains the same colour it was the day I got it - but then I don't use it much. The Fireglo is just lovely. The Midnight Blue may get refinished when I can afford it as it has 'cosmetic issues' (that I really don't want to go into anymore!!). I am trying to think of a really radical finish for it. Perhaps chrome would be nice.

The 'rogue intruder' in the pic is a greenburst John Birch (custom made in 1976).

'99 4003 "v68" - My first good instrument, it has been there every step of the way on my "musical path". Dale's work on it only made it that much more sentimental - and cool looking!. Great neck, great sound.

'74 4005WB - An excellent alternative to my 4003, this is Rickenbacker's version of a Hofner IMO. That neck pickup really thumps! It's also my first hollowbody bass, a concept I have come to really love. Looks awesome, too.

I only have one Rickenbacker a Fireglow 4003 from 2003. I love it all what this bass offers on playability and tone.... what can I say more?
