She arrived Friday, and I am extremely pleased. It's in pretty good shape for being 33 years old. It has the small headstock, with Grovers. Don't care much for the tuners, they are to easy to turn, and looks like it would go out of tune easily, plus they stick out too far.
I cleaned it up a bit, and it looks and sounds great. I love the slim necks on the 4001's, and like the 4002, it seems lighter than the 4003's.
I ordered a clear finger rest from Tony at Pickguardian, and that should make it complete.
Sorry I didn't have any Hot Chicks in bikinis posing with the bass. I'll have to get some volunteers next time.
Another lucky purchase.
And Jim, just kidding of course.

When I bought my former 75 fireglo which I really regret selling I thought the Grovers were aftermarket tuners until I saw a picture of Geddy Lee with a Ric bass with them. I have grown to like them and the look. I sold that bass unfortunately and it was a fireglo in mint shape.

Yikes Bob!!! That's a little too close to the pool for me!!! Gorgeous bass. Stunning!!!

BEAUTIFUL!!!!!

Next question... how does she sound?

She looks fantastic Bob, congratulations the back of the neck has worn very elegantly over the years, outstanding.

Bob - To me, that is the standard beautiful Rickenbacker! Good one, my freind.

Ssswwwwwweeeeeeeeeeettttt !!!!!

Great bass you got there, can it swim?

I'd like to come over, play the bass, then swim. It's a scorcher over here in Scottsdale!!
