Rickresource Rickenbacker Forum

A sort of Silver and Black Union Jack on my 2030 4-2-5 ...

It also sports a new 3 band active circuit ...

those Kahler bridges sustain forever and they adjust in every direction ...

love the body but i think the ehadstock should have remained plain...and what's with all those strings?

nice work.

i think that's one cool bass,jeff! have you ever done a 4-2-5 on a 3001? they are probably my least loved rick basses,but with a snazzy paint/tape job,hmmmmm...........

I don't convert 3001 basses but I think Dane did a 3000 or 3001. I only convert 1986 or later Rickenbacker basses.

The cool thing about that 2030 is it was so reliced before I got it that it makes a good bass to experiment on.

Great color scheme, Jeff. I like it!

There they did their utter best to make a batch of 1000 perfect exact copies of it only to find out a little later that this was not an original Rickenbacker design.

Ha! I thought that too when I first read Dane's post.

Trying to get on my good side, you Sharks fan?

I was a big Raiers fan in the 70s and 80s ... Silver and Black ... these days they just don't win enough to root for them ...
