Going back to the comments earlier about the new bridge position. Regardless of whether you like the colour of this instrument or not (that's another discussion) here's a good example of how it spoils the look. That gap in the binding is usually hidden by the tailpiece but with the whole assembly moved forward it just makes the guitar look unfinished IMHO.

It looks pretty good on the Walnut I think.  The neck being in natural draws the attention away from the lack of binding imo.

My Rickenbacker 4003 special edition with checkered binding, Autumnglo 2023 single truss rod new bridge and skunk stripe, entire bass is satin including fret board. the neck is sublime on this bass, flat D thin back to front.

I think that belongs on the "Rickenbacker horror show" thread, rather on this Rickenbacker Porn thread.  Or maybe we need Rickenbacker Porn Star names.  As I recall the formula is: the colour of your first Ric and the hair style you were rocking on your 21st birthday.  So mine is "Walnut Bouffant". 😁

Did it arrive by itself or did it have shaped wood and strings attached to it?😀

It's going to be fitted to my jetglo 2010.

Goodbye tail lift and hello to easier intonation! Great upgrade while maintaining the overall vintage Ric vibe.

I just fancied trying one out.

If I like it, the mapleglo might get one too.

Where exactly in Norfolk do you live again....? Asking for a friend.

Welcome to the clan Orangeglo No 11 of 30.

It fits in nicely with my orange reverse headstock Shuker Jazz.

Cool. 

 

When I saw that Vinorange had commented wondered if we had a Sommelier in the group - the pictures put me right😀.

My name is actually Vin Orange and when I was younger I was slightly shy and some cads decided my nickname should be Vin Rouge. Hilarious....

Just missed out on this 1977 Jetglo 4001. Can't get to check it out until Friday but it unfortunately sold yesterday afternoon. Pretty gutted.

Look at all that lovely wear...

Beauty , I love a nice Ric , I still get a little weak in the knees when I see one.

1974 jetglo 4000 in action last night (it's first run with me) with goth band The InSect

Set neck? There’s a lot to be said for the two knob simplicity of the 4000.

 

Great basses.

Yep, set neck. Even without the neck pickup of the 4001/4003 it sounds unmistakably Rick
