aidanhallbass Posted October 21, 2012 Share Posted October 21, 2012 http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1998-RICKENBACKER-4-STRING-ELECTRIC-BASS-GUITAR-MODEL-4001-MAPLEGLO-MAPLE-GLO-NR-/110964013097?pt=Guitar&hash=item19d5f87829 is this guy not selling a 4003 here? He has it listed as a 1998 4001, I thought they stopped making those about 1981? Or am I wrong? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

molan Posted October 21, 2012 Share Posted October 21, 2012 Not that I'm trying to defend him but there was a time when all Rickies with this body shape were called 4001's even though the name had been changed to 4003 years previously. I even remember retailers displaying 4003's as 4001's for a while. Mind you, this was about 25 years ago, lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brensabre79 Posted October 22, 2012 Share Posted October 22, 2012 +1 lots of people just refer to them as 4001 even if they are another variant of the same shape. To be honest i don't really know the difference between them myself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
