Found: One Holy Grail

I received a call today from one very excited Forum member, who has just acquired a bass which many of us would kill for. I didn't kill him myself, because I already have an example of the same model bass from the same year. It is with his approval that I post this thread.
The challenge: Who is the forum member? What holy grail did he find?

Hmm Just a wild guess Trotty of course. My answer is Dave Pascoe and he found a RM 1999 bass? Close?

Close, but no banana. One point for half a correct answer.

Nope, not Graham, although Graham doesn't have one of these models in his extensive collection.

I was never any good at maintaining suspense. Thanks goes to Darren for his advice and guidance.

Only unplugged (the baby is sleeping). Somewhat different in feel to my 4003S/5

I love that edit button. Amazing how you can change history!
Congratulations, Brett. You've added an incredibly rare bass to your growing Rickenbacker collection.
For everyone else's benefit, Brett is a first class nice guy, who is a load of fun to hang out with, a dedicated family man and will do anything to help out a mate.
He is fully deserving of this fabulous trophy.
