4001

[pablopepper]

I'm surprised this hasn't come up yet considering how many times I've seen it requested. Rickenbacker 4001! I know it's probably tricky with the unique hardware etc, but if there is one kit that would sell like the proverbial hotcakes...

[Brendan]

Good point Pablo - I'd certainly be open to the idea.

[gavinturner]

Yes, absolutely!

cheers,
Gav.

Therein lies the dilemma... It wont sound like a Riccy unless it is neckthrough, has real Riccy pups etc and the bridge..
It could work as a bolt on neck construction and generic single coil pups and bridge as a homage to the 4001.
Adam will clarify this but it may be doable if we can get 10 order confirmations and the factory can make them :P

I will ask our Chinese friends about this one as there does seem to be much demand. They won't be able to doa neck through, but could do a set neck. I will let you know. It would be a nice addition to the catalogue.

Or even as a bolt on like DB said would be fantastic! I've always wanted a Riccy bass....

Oh yeah. I've always loved Rickies. Here's a bit of nostalgia (for me anyway). This pic was taken in 1979 when I was in a Melbourne band called BackStreet (long before the "other" Backstreet was formed). This is only a Ric copy, of course, but I loved it!

Ok, we have our first RC-4 kits on order, due in April (late April). You can backorder now or wait and see what they are like. Price is $219.

We have asked for a set neck and body in Ash.

Yes, please. I will backorder one!

ALRIGHT!!! YEAH!!! 8-) (finally a Ricky kit - the bass of a guitarist's dreams! ... If you've got them on the way, then I'm certainly in for one ... even if I have to wait for a second shipment.
