    Thank you, I don't think its a mod as they are the only holes drilled for them I had seen pictures of other, where the strap button was lower down. It is a nice bass and feels really well made and the pickups are quite hot & loud in it,so I won't be changing them they are good enough as they are. I took the tugbar off as the Ric version was made of clear plastic IIRC. One gripe I have is that the action on this bass is better than I had on my '92 4003, I could never get the action on that bass as low as this one.

    Sorry or the late reply been really buy at work here are a couple of picture taken now, & a couple from the seller in Japan the Ric TRC was already on this when I bought it. All I have done is taken off the tugbar & tuned it up. It feels very well made I bought it a I missed my Ric 4003, but couldn't justify the price now.

    I bought a 1990 Greco RB-85 Bass from Japan and it arrived this morning, while I was in work so just spending time with it now. I'd owned a real Rickenbacker 4003 but couldn't justify what they are asking or them secondhand, so looking online I came across the Greco did a little bit of reading up about them and bought it. I'll take some pictures over the weekend and post them soon, anyone else here have a Greco RB Bass?

    The main floating bridge on Hofner guitars & basses during the 1950's to the present day, has been the ebony 2 piece bridge with fretwire in the slots for each string & metal wheels for string height.

    Bodies are the same the main difference between the German '64, & the HCT was the headstock on the HCT was a little longer and the edges coming up from the nut were sharper. My 64 500/1 headstock My 2007 HCT (Recently given a new home)

    When I had my HCT 500/1 one of the machine heads broke, & I bought a replacement set and changed all four at the same time. I still have the original 3 machine heads which you are welcome too. that way you could experiment without ruining yours straight off.

    Just been looking at one of those on AE not a bad price either.

    What the inside o a Hofner HCT 500/1 looks like. More of a coffin type of bracing than a centre block.

    This one has been with me since November 1988 & is my most prized possession. So as we have been together for 36 years and counting, I guess this is my dream bass.

    Always liked the shape of the Status Bass, still looks good today enjoy your new bass.
