In June of 1981 I saw a Rickenbacker catalog at the music shop where I was taking guitar lessons.
The pictures of the 4001 basses floored me. They were the most incredible looking musical instruments I ever saw.
I begged the shop owner for one picture of the bass & he was kind enough to give me the catalog. Although tattered beyond recognition, I still have the catalog to this day.
Later I found out that the Beatles & Chris Squire played RICs. This only served to reinforce my adoration for these beautiful instruments.
