Hello.
I'm blindly buying this Rickenbacker 4003MG, serial number 08 16464.
What features does this bass have? Thin neck? Tone circuit? Walnut wings? Adjustable polepieces? Full width inlays?
I'm only REALLY interested in the thin neck, the tone circuit and the walnut wings. The others would be a bonus.
Thanks in advance for the information!
Ivan.

"This instrument was manufactured in week 16 of 2008."
Were they already been issued with the full width inlays then?

The full inlays started popping up in mid-March.

About the "bonus", in my opinion the adjustable polepieces are an amazing improvement, more than tone circuit or walnut wings. I always had problems with the volume of E and G (since the A and D polepieces are higher), and with my new JG i could balance all the poles/volume.

Welcome Pedro!
A good friend of mine is in search of a good quality and good sounding penny-whistle. Can you help out with this?

Thank you all!
Sure Jeffrey, I'll look for some shops here in Dublin and I pm you.
I really don't know which whistles are good or not, but I'll try my best.
