Fantastic overview of the evolution of Rickenbacker’s most iconic bass!

Curious that you didn’t start a few years previous, as the earliest 4000+1 basses had quite a few variations as well.

(Sand cast aluminum bridge/tailpieces that didn’t lift, 1/2” spacing on the neck toaster were the 2 biggest ones.)

Well those will have to go into the 4001 timeline, won’t they! Stay tuned…

Those early/mid 60’s 4001 -s models were what macca,squire, waters, gibb, entwhistle, etc played. Which I’m sure you know….😉
