Good to see you again Henny! What's up with the Fender icon on a Rick-lovers website?! You tryin' to stir the pot?
I think the bass you're asking about was made to sell for charity about 6 months ago.
Rock on!

You can read about that bass on the RIC website:

Someone remind me to join a Fender forum just so I can make a Rickenbacker there avatar for myself.

Interestingly it was a C series with a standard headstock. Where can I place my order?

They made 'em, they're just not any good.

Funny how those "not any good" Fenders are fetching some pretty high prices these days!

Hold on there! Please change that to '65 before the value of my JB drops too far!

Henny...
Good to see you back here, but careful with the avatar!
The 64 Fender quote is correct Kev...You know that that one year is the difference between a great bass and mass produced firewood!
Just kiddin'....Loving my Jazz!

Tch, those current day fenders are excellent workhorses and the eighties made ones are killer buys which you can snap up cheap.
The proof: I bought a 1986 Fender USA Stratocaster for 150 Euro and it's a dependable honest-to-God no nonsense guitar
Anyway to get back on topic: that's a cool looking bass. I guess from all those Rick playing prog rock bassplayers Squire is the only one who stuck with them. Rutherford and Geddy Lee having jumped ship.
