Do I have a fake 4001C64

[krismiller]

Its a 2002 4001C64 supposedly.... I bought it a few weeks ago from a guy in Florida. The serial number is valid, but i just noticed that I have no access to the truss rods on the body side of the bass. Absolutely no holes are drilled out on the body side.. Did Rick ever make them like this?

Absolutely no holes are drilled out on the body side.

Did you pull off the pickguard and have a look at the end of the neck?

[krismiller]

yes

[chrisdski]

post some pictures of under the pick guard and under the truss rod cover.

You have NO access to the truss rods?? Not under the TR cover nor at the end of the neck? Did Rickenbacker ever make the C64 with TR access at the bottom of the neck? Curious.

Kris, is this the same bass with the fingerboard/neck separation issue?

[krismiller]

I will when I get a camera... Possibly tonight

This whole Rickenbacker venture with me has been nothing but a headache... (just look at my other posts)

[jps]

We definitely need to see pics of this one, we are (im)patiently waiting, Kris.

I am sure we will get this sorted out.

[krismiller]

Thanks..... I'll post them asap

I've never seen a fake 4001C64, but this might be a first!

Someone would have to go to alot of trouble to come up with something like that. Well, there are all kinds. Mark

[krismiller]

I've seen a few (diy's) built to the same specs from a guy on another post... Thats why I'm asking.

[chrisdski]

Post a bunch of pics of this bass and the group will chime in with their opinions- that's the only way to find out what's going on with it.

The show is over here also, everyone. Nothing to see here.
