(It is easier for Johnny Five Thumbs here to post photos there.) Perhaps it will find a new home.

If I hadn't just bought a house I would be VERY tempted!!! happy_face Junior Username: happy_face Post Number: 19 Registered: 4-2008 Posted on Friday, January 02, 2009 - 5:10 am:    Thanks for the heads-up bsee. i'll post here directly once I get home. Sounds like good timing on the house purchase hieronymous. Hope all goes well with it. A little scary to be buying now, but in five years (hopefully) you will look back and say "That worked out well!" happy_face Junior Username: happy_face Post Number: 20 Registered: 4-2008 Posted on Friday, January 02, 2009 - 5:12 pm:    For your perusal and contemplation - a Rickenbacker 4001 c64 with Alembic pickups. I bought the body stripped of electronics and had a local luthier install Alembic bass pups and electronics. The bass sounds great. You can dial in a wide variety of tones so it is more flexible than my standard 4003. I am offering the bass because i cannot get comfortable with the neck. If it doesn't sell, I'll ponder getting the neck shaved. The body has some wear and a couple of flaws, most notably two lines on the face near the pots which appear to be under the finish. As well, thre are a couple of very modest nicks on the head and one on the lower bout. The silver hardcase also has a mark or two. Happy to email a more complete set of photos. I will offer it at a loss for $2100 shipped in the US. (I could be tempted by a Guild M-85) Thanks.

I like the reverse headstock and dot inlays. Good luck with the sale! dwmark Advanced Member Username: dwmark Post Number: 220 Registered: 1-2005 Posted on Sunday, January 04, 2009 - 8:36 pm:    any issues (body marks, etc.--pictures are showing some wear, but it may be flash stuff)? can you provide serial no.? interested in anything other than the guild in trade? dw happy_face Junior Username: happy_face Post Number: 21 Registered: 4-2008 Posted on Monday, January 05, 2009 - 6:59 am:    dwmark - the bass has been played. Some wear so it does not appear like new. The nicks as per above. I emailed you the serial number and some more photos early this evening. Thanks. (Message edited by happy_face on January 05, 2009)
