I will enter the numbers when I get home from work.
Once you have the year from the serial number - do a search on instruments with the same features in the RRF register.. Across the bottom of each entry will be the average sale values on Ebay...
You could also ad your bass to the register (with Pics) and across the bottom of the listing will be the same info on value.
If you share the SN here - one of us will add it to the register for you.
Lovely Bass... How does it sound
Thanks for the help... It sounds GREAT... I have always love the Rick Sound.... Yes and Rush did it for me in my youth... I had a black and white 4001 in the late 70's and never stopped regretting the day I traded it away... I have had this one for about 10 years.... It was under a bed for more than 20 years when I got it...

One of the best looking 4001's I've seen from this period. Love that aged MG with that wood grain...

Do they offer Flame maple as an option or is it more luck of the draw ?

Luck of the draw...
And with fairly long odds as well...
