I'm with you on that- I'd love a short scale 4003s with vintage pickups too. A 4001C64 or 4001V63 in Fireglo or creme like a Chris Squire 4001, please!IvanMunoz wrote:For a bass, it would be a shortscale 4003S in blueboy with gold guards and TRC. Vintage pickups, a vintage tailpeice and a full length pickguard. With vintage knobs and tugbar.
Gosh...I'm working on something similar in a LS...paologregorio wrote:patdaddy wrote:I want a 341/12 LS - 3 toaster pickups, 12 string, light show, in Teal finish doublebound with checkerboard binding, crushed-pearl shark-fin inlays, ric-o-sound, 12 saddle bridge, and built-in compressor.
perhaps i could sell a few organs.
FYI: That would make the guitar a 371 WB: 330s do not have binding or triangle inlays. If the guitar is double bound and has inlays it's a 360/370/375. 330s and 360s used to always have the same body style until someone thought it was a good idea to design the corpulent-shaped 360 "New Style" body. Formerly, the 330 was a standard model that had dot inlays and no binding, while 360s were a deluxe model with binding on both sides, and triangle inlays, but both models shared the same body style.
You then went on that you didn't know which colour to give it. And that's where the mist of time went over it...jingle_jangle wrote:Anyway, I'm nearly finished building one right now for an RRF buddy, and it's not too far off from Werner's idea, but I think it's a bit more elegant of a solution.
I think it would work better with, say, a 30" scale.shamustwin wrote:I would like a 650 style bass. Can you do one up, Paul?
Maybe use a 3000 neck?sloop_john_b wrote:I think it would work better with, say, a 30" scale.shamustwin wrote:I would like a 650 style bass. Can you do one up, Paul?
There was a guy on Rickenbacker's forum, recently, saying he was going to convert his 650 into a bass. I don't know if he kept everyone updated, or not.jingle_jangle wrote:Short answer: Yep.
Long answer and feasibility: It needs to have at least 50% genuine Rickenbacker content. So, starting with a 650 body and/or a Rick bass neck, we could fabricate the balance and use a mix of 650 and Rick bass hardware and electronics.
