Wow...I'm not that pedantic, tbh....but what I will add is that on point 2 above: it can't have been working THAT well otherwise they would have continued the partnership / dealership / whatever....?

Clarifying facts does not make one pedantic... and there were certainly a lot of facts to clarify in your previous post.

Speculating on subjects that you clearly know little about is foolish.

It does to a lot of people. I'm a stickler for facts, myself.
I also think that words have meanings, and those meanings should be respected.
I get called pedantic a lot!

Yeah, if fact do not get clarified/corrected, it eventually does becomes "fact", I get beat upon, myself, for trying to set records straight.

Point taken!

Separating the facts from the speculation is part of the fun!

(and the facts themselves in this case are fairly confusing.)


Still, I stand by my original point, and in 20 years time, people will be arguing over a pic of a 4005XC, for sure!

People will be saying its a 3xxx...others will say its a fake....

the facts people will chime in and say "Its actually a 90th Anniversary 4005XC limited edition!"

THEN, someone will ask exactly the same question I have asked....!! lol!


Round and round we go.....don't you love the internet?

But leaving this behind for a while...I wonder if there will be any more "XC" anniversary releases this year...?

Maybe a 4001XC.....?

I'm going to call it Clanky McJangle. HoW bOuT tHeM aPpLeS?

Sorry, I just got here.

I’d very much like a 4005XC FG, please.

Thank you.

Sorry Joey, but I've played it.

It's short scale. 30.5"

Eric B told me it was long scale. I had seen the prototype several times, which was short scale, but I thought it was possible that there was a design change after he told me that.

Are they only going to make 90 in total 4005 XC ?

I am so far under the impression that they are going to make as many as they get pre-order for during a limited time period which still is not ended. But I am not sure that that information is accurate.

Does anyone know the last time Rickenbacker produced a bass with a pair of toasters?

Produced, as in, a series of a model?

Yes, as opposed to a one-off. Was it the old 4005?

Yes, IIRC the 4005 series was the last that used toasters in both positions.
