Delberthot Posted May 14, 2010 Share Posted May 14, 2010 eh? Like the 3000 before it, these were built as budget learners instruments. They've never been highly sought after like their big brothers - unless you're a huge Mani fan. I forget if he used a 3000 or a 3001 These are the Rickenbacker equivelants of the Musicman SUB. Pretty steep considering you can get a 'proper' 4003 for that kind of money Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would have thought this is at the very top of the reasonable price range. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delberthot Posted May 14, 2010 Share Posted May 14, 2010 Aye, he has a 4005 which is painted or something. I vaguely remember him having some sort of design on his. The 4005 is the daddy as far as the Rick fans go, moreso the 6 and 8 string versions and the lightshow one. As far as I remember, he mainly used the 3000/3001 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
