Restoring a '76 4001

[Grainger]

I guess so, this is going to be quite tidious. Patiently removed every strip one by one without damaging the fretboard.

And 20th or 21st fret, not even a notable difference

[jps]

Don't play that high up there, eh?

[Grainger]

Well, I do. But I haven't had much sleep so my counting/thinking was a bit off...

Still wanting to get them out. Does anyone have some suggestions on how to do so?

Unless you have to buy one.

I guess Paul W. would. He does have his own forum here at RR.

[Grainger]

Can you give me a link Bert?

[berth]

Can you give me a link Bert?

You mean you have not even been here? It should be made obligatory for people working on their own instruments (and all others).

[Grainger]

Nope, haven't been there Bert

I'll ask there!

We had this bassmeeting and even did some interesting finds when comparing the 3 Rics.

we have those here from time to time. We call them confluences...yours would be a mini-confluence I guess, but it sure looked like fun

and, welcome Edo...great bass you have there.

[Grainger]

Well Marc, this was a little confluense, but it didn't just exist from three Rics

There was more. Link to pictures. Due to a blizzard most of the members stayed at home...

Next month is the next Dutch bassmeet, excited

That's terrific. We love hearing about get togethers and and Ric friends playing together. Always take pics

Let's continue where we left off!

Berts '73 solderfixed tuner came in for the screw which was missing. Hope it fits!



And it does! Eureka!


There we go, not that noticible.


Perfect! Thanks Bert!


Besides that, the mailmen had a busy day with just my stuff. Pickguards, screws, tunerscrew and knobs for the Rickenbacker. Yeah!
Nevermind the effects, those came in as well


Off to the pickguards! Let's start out with the white one



I started with the white one on purpose, guessing the black one would be far more awesome! It is!



I think I'm going for black.
Little thing I did notice; the neckpup hole is a bit tight. 4001 and 4003 hardware appareantly differ on diameter and curve. Little viling will do

I'm liking the birdseye in the maple keep up the good work Edo!
