Re: 4001C64
Forgive my ignorance here - but that sounds like the fret that sits right next to the nut on my late 60s Yamaha SA-17 bass (and the matching guitar models). I'm not sure what it means in the case of the C64?

Re: 4001C64
Yep, same thing. The 4001c64S has a zero fret, as added by Paul McCartney. The regular 4001c64 and other Ric basses do not.Happyface wrote:Forgive my ignorance here - but that sounds like the fret that sits right next to the nut on my late 60s Yamaha SA-17 bass (and the matching guitar models).

Thanks!! And thanks for the photo. That explains it. I don't have an S model.dpowell wrote: Yep, same thing. The 4001c64S has a zero fret, as added by Paul McCartney. The regular 4001c64 and other Ric basses do not.
Appreciate the clarification.

Re: 4001C64
When I ordered my 4003FG in February of 2006 they showed them as being available in June of 2008. I changed my order to JG when they became available in September of 2008. The Fireglo has not yet become available. I know they do their best to estimate delivery dates, but their estimates are unreliable, at best.basmansam wrote:MF shows availability for 4001C64 MG 1/12/09 and FG 12/31/09.

Re: 4001C64
So, when will this last run be made? Are they already made and being shipped soon? Or will there be a last run made this year, then that's it?
Re: 4001C64
It will be at least a couple of years. There will probably be an overlap with the"new" model yet to be announced.RobRick wrote:So, when will this last run be made? Are they already made and being shipped soon? Or will there be a last run made this year, then that's it?
Re: 4001C64
Sounds good, I want to get one this year, so I will start searching.
I am curious what Rickenbacker will come up with next!

Re: 4001C64
No authorized Rickenbacker dealer can tell you when your order will come in. They can estimate based on their own order / delivery history with RIC. But that estimate is just a guess from what they've seen in the past.dog wrote:I know they do their best to estimate delivery dates, but their estimates are unreliable, at best.
Re: 4001C64
Sounds like, in this case, patience is not only a virtue, but a mandate as well! 
Re: 4001C64
An FG was just shipped to Guitar Showcase in San Jose. Is this a good sign?
Re: 4001C64
Apple Music Portland Oregon has been shipped a 4001C64S. Maybe Rickenbacker is going to open the chute for C64' and C64S'!!
