4001C64 FG

Post by 1965 »

As part of a RAS attack this morning, I acquired a 4001C64. It'll be my first Rick bass, I'm going over to the dark side 8) . I'll put some photos up when I take delivery of it in a week or so. I think it's smiling at you :lol:

Congrats on your latest purchases, Wes. Personally, I still can't get used to the reversed headstock, but they are still wonderful basses to play. Once you cross the dark side, you'll never go back! :mrgreen:

It's not the dark side, it's the cool side. You'll realize that when you get the bass. :mrgreen:

It's weird, the headstock's really grown on me, otherwise I never would have bought one.

Congrats Wes. I love my C64S and would have specified the upside-down headstock if I had a choice. It just makes sense on a McCartney replica bass.

But I do think the regular C64 should be offered in either headstock configuration.

Wes, if you do that at home, put pillows on the floor under anything breakable on a shelf or hanging on the wall! :lol:

I love my C64, I have no problem with the reverse headstock, I think it is actually cool, gives the bass an extra added mojo and unique personality.
