Ill take the real one thanks!! lol
Noticed that earlier on the bay, wonder if it has a copy TRC, god knows what the poor soul who buys it will end up with. Thats just degrading using a real '64 4001s for the picture.

Hm... The Aria rendition of the 4001 bass is one of the least accurate, which probably explains the seller posting a photo of a real Rickenbacker bass...

This guy has some nerve. It really pisses me off. That's the '64 from P.164-5 in the Bacon/Day book.

What Bacon & Day book are you refering to?

That would be "The Rickenbacker Book" by Tony Bacon and Paul Day, originally published in 1994. It's been out of print for a while, but Amazon can lead you to used copies, as can eBay.

I have that book, but the only bass in it is a 4080/12, plus it only has 96 pages in it. Where is pages 164-5 and that picture from?

They are still around, Jeff.
I got both the Rickenbacker and Gretsch ones (new) off eBay in the UK for 5 squid 'buy it now' (plus 11 more for postage). $39 AUD for both - bargain!!
