Nice to learn I was not alone in my madness.😀 A Rickenfaker maybe but not an expensive Rik bass. Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EMG456 Posted May 2, 2020 Share Posted May 2, 2020 I never really thought that way then- as has been mentioned even on this thread, you just modded things to suit yourself. Hence what I realise now was the best 4001 I ever owned went from brand new pristine fireglow in 1974 to being stripped and oiled with its white binding removed and replaced with a wood (effect!) binding by the early 80s! I had no idea it might be valuable in the future- it was an instrument to be played. Sold it in the mid 80s for £250. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bilbo Posted May 3, 2020 Share Posted May 3, 2020 I always thought of it as a Telecaster bass because of the headstock. It is important to acknowledge that such details have never really interested me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
