Here we go again!

I'd like to see the bulge near the treble volume control go back to the old style of constant distance from the binding. To me it doesn't fit the grace of the rest of the bass.

That's one (small) reason why I got the C64.

What?

Those stickers make the bass look cheezy.
Since we know that Rickenbackers are made in the US and what the push/pull pot is for, why leave them on there?

Is it like keeping the orgional price tag with the string on it for collectability reasons?

Come on, take them off.
Hey do what you want. It looks like a real nice bass. I just think that without those stickers it would be even better.

Hey, it's just my opinion. Who cares.

Thomas, the next time you take a Made In USA sticker off a Rick, please send it to me. I want to put one back on my Jetglo Cii. It's former owner removed it.

Congats on the bass. And, I enjoyed Day Tripper. I think I'm gonna learn Penny Lane. Thanks

Can you please comment of the neck size of the 2008 vs. your 75th Anny 4003? I am hoping the new ones are slimmer so I can start shopping for one again. My 75th Anny was really thick compared to my '87 4003 which I love.

Thanks

OK I'm no expert ...

My DCM has the Thinner neck....I love it..

Seems to me the JG has the thicker neck.
I compared them last night and I will try to get a picture of both together.
Now there is Not a big difference but I do See and feel a difference.
So I guess it's a pot luck deal when you order it online.

I still love it and just wish it had Checkered Binding LOL


Peace

Mike, could you measure both neck girths like we have in the database? Might prove interesting.
