GeddyLeeBassGod Posted November 28, 2007 Share Posted November 28, 2007 Hi Everyone. I just found this forum and was basically wondering if anyone could shed a 16 year old mystery? Basically I got this old bass guitar for my 21st Birthday from my parents a long long time ago in a galaxy far far away. They knew I'd always wanted a Rickenbacker 4001 with being a massive Rush fan. Anyway they must have bought this battered old thing (which I love!) from a second hand shop. I know it aint a Rickenbacker but I'd really be interested in knowing what it actually is! I've heard of a lot of Rick copies being made in the 70's then stopped via a lawsuit, one of the better ones was an Ibanez but that had a bolt on neck apparently. Anyway.. Here's the pictures: [url="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v1...s/IMG_0072.jpg"]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v1...s/IMG_0072.jpg[/url] [url="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v1...s/IMG_0071.jpg"]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v1...s/IMG_0071.jpg[/url] [url="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v1...s/IMG_0070.jpg"]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v1...s/IMG_0070.jpg[/url] [url="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v1...s/IMG_0069.jpg"]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v1...s/IMG_0069.jpg[/url] [url="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v1...s/IMG_0068.jpg"]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v1...s/IMG_0068.jpg[/url] [url="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v1...s/IMG_0067.jpg"]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v1...s/IMG_0067.jpg[/url] [url="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v1...s/IMG_0066.jpg"]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v1...s/IMG_0066.jpg[/url] [url="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v1...s/IMG_0065.jpg"]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v1...s/IMG_0065.jpg[/url] Now I know the Ricks have a dual truss rod in them. But they alslo have a solid body.. The majority of the copies have bolt on necks as well, but this has a solid body. There is absolutely nothing written on the bass anywhere.. Nothing about a country of manufacturer, or anythign that would give a clue.. Some of the names I've heard are Hondo, Shaftesbury, Ibanez. Can anyone help at all?

Buzz Posted November 28, 2007 Share Posted November 28, 2007 First things first: The forum has eaten the links (again). Secondly, prod Captain Japcrap (Bassassin) he'll point you in the right direction. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
