Stolen Ric alert

[Trav]

Fantastic news a great result - never let it leave your side fromnow on

I love a happy ending!!! What was the Sn in the end?

I don't know. I don't think the owner knows either because the jackplate is so worn. I removed the 'stolen' listing from the registry, but someone also posted the instrument so hopefully they'll take it off the stolen list, too.

Fantastic news that the stolen Ric was recovered.
I hope they nail the culprit

That was me. I have now edited the registry entry to remove the stolen tag...

BTW

Here is info about another stolen 4001 - this one from Ottawa Canada that I saw on another forum

It is in the register already but not as a collected item. Perhaps Gil or Peter can edit the registry listing and add these images.

SN is MD1582

This is from the Guitars Canada forum. I'd post a link but I think this is against RRF rules

Bass was stolen in November 2007

"1973 Rickenbacker 4001 Burgundyglo

IIRC, that BG '73 4001 was purchased by a forumite and the bass disappeared while in transit to him.
