Are you willing to share some url's? Not that I want to buy, but I almost always like Rick pictures.

Why did RIC stop making 21 frets? That gives one more octave of E on the G string....

1971, I believe. Having said that, remember that the 4002 Model had 21 frets as well.

Henny, I don't know if you've tried a Laredo lately, but the 05 model pictured above has a very flat neck profile which negates the affect of the wider fret board. Very comfortable as a five string, it's even flatter than my 03 Cheyenne(also a fiver), which still has a flat profile, just not as thin.

Hey Andy, thanks for the link. There's strong Rickenbacker magic to be found in there for sure. "We need to get back to 21 frets"? Oh yes, definitely.

Is a January 1971 21 fret 4001 too late?

YES! I mean, no, it's never too late for the ultimate Rickenbacker bass to show up anywhere it pleases. Welcome back, Grant, as it were.
