My '98 V63 had a very big neck, but then most of the '73s I've played (my 4000 being the exception) have had necks ranging from chunky to very big too, much bigger than the '72s and earlier I've played. As a rule of thumb the later V63s I've played have much bigger necks than the early ones (as do the CSs).jps wrote:My '98 V63 has a neck virtually the same as that on my '73 4001.
Well that's interesting. My '72 neck (June, with skunk stripe) is much larger than my '73 neck (July). They're both great necks, but the '72 is stronger and substantially larger. I was surprised when I got it, because it's like a late 90's/early 2000's neck.henry5 wrote: ...but then most of the '73s I've played (my 4000 being the exception) have had necks ranging from chunky to very big too, much bigger than the '72s and earlier I've played...
Well if there's one thing we know about Rics, it's that consistency was never a strong point.....all the 72s I've played have had sort of relatively wide/flat necks, whereas the 73s have been very full and round, much bulkier in the hand.rickaddict wrote:Well that's interesting.

And about the electronics on the C64 vs the V63...Both of my V63's ('92 and '98) did not have the bass-cut capacitor in the circuit whereas my C64S ('03) did.
