R. C. Bengston has kindly sent some more NAMM 2002 photos of the 4001C64S in Mapleglo, the "Wings Bass" to the Rickenbacker Registration Page. A great looking instrument with the zero fret.

While the "Zero Fret" adds authenticity to this faithful reproduction of the period, I am wondering what the difference in feel and sound will be compared to the "zero fretless" 4001C64S in Fireglo. I would expect to hear a tonal difference when the string is played open. Should you have had the opportunity to play both, I would be most interested in your comments.

Sweet!! It surprises me that they wouldn't have a lefty of this on display, but it looks very authentic compared to Sir Paul's original. I wish I could hear one too.

Hear one? I wish they would ship so I can play one.
