They are both 1993 lefty v63 basses...

Hmmmm, looks like the lefty on the LEFT has an extra tuning peg!

One of the headstocks is upside-down, the other not.

Yes, One that slipped through? a special order? a c64 prototype? Who knows?

Maybe one of them is a 4001PMC. I've heard rumors of such.

When you see it, it is obvious but at first you just don't notice it.

Again, who knows? It came from Japan.

Peter, I seem to recall that when Rickenbacker went to the 'mirror-image' lefty necks in the late 80's, you could still get one made the 'old way', but it was an upcharge(!).......I dunno if this is true or not, maybe John Hall could confirm this. Are those your basses Peter??

John Lessick, the PMC model V63 is a real bass, I have one. Most if not all were made in 1999.

John, yes these are two of mine. BTW it didn't take you long to sniff out a lefty thread!

One is toggled to the bridge pup, the other is toggled for both pups.

So obvious....

You got it Scott, I noticed that as I was putting them back in their cases after taking the photo.

It is a 4001V63PMC. I owned one in Mapleglo.
