Funny thing was, during my searches for Rickenbacker, it never showed up. I wanted that surround and the tuners,was going to sell the rest off.

I would have bought the output jackplate from you. My '75 fretless 4001 still doesn't have one!

I have a smigen<sp> of hope. The buyer is in the UK, and the seller prefers not to ship there. I sent an e-mail, but the bidder may have had prior approval. We'll see.

You can't use that Horseshoe Marc, It's made backwards. (~;

Maybe that shoe was made for a left handed model, huh?

the reissue surround is upside down because the mounting screw spacing is reversed from the higain version.
go figure

I don't understand why it has the horseshoe, but has a non-toaster neck PU? My 72 has a toaster neck and the newer treble PU.
Was the horseshoe an option in the 70's?
I've seen some odd Ricks though, like a new 4001 fretless with oval fingerboard markers...

Next time you can try my search...
here it is. Searches all countries, all categories, covers spelling errors, and filters out BS items.

I figured it was a reissue.
