Rickresource Rickenbacker Forum

This past Friday, I took delivery of the newest edition to my bass family.....a Rick 4001v63 PMC.

This bass is THE coolest bass I have seen in my life so far!!!!!! I have been on cloud nine ALL weekend.
It is in DEAD MINT condition, and is absolutely STUNNING!!!!!!
( I am positive that THIS bass is the one I lost the opportunity to purchase recently when it was on Ebay )

Thanks to a couple of Forumites, I received a second chance at it. Thank You guys!!!!!!

The reason I wanted this bass SO badly????? Like all or most members here, I dream of owning/playing an RM1999.
Chris Squire's bass, and his sound is what drew me to Rickenbackers in the first place.
RM 1999's are HARD to find as it is......but finding a Lefty version????? NEVER!!!!! It most likely doesn't exist!!!!

SO......this is the closest I can come to having one----(Thinking of finding/dropping a vintage magnetized HS in it)

I have some pics. Is anyone willing to help me post them to this thread?????

These are hot off the camera, more or less, from Greg, with a little bit of post from me.

I guess a lot of us owners of vintage reissues feel something like this, even without the added difficulty of hunting down a Lefty. I certainly do, including the attraction to Squire's sound.

Looks great!
