Uhhh yea

I typed this up all ready and lost it (stupid school computers)

Anyway, I've tried contacting Rickenbacker for a neck so I can recreate my brothers 1984, 4001 bass. I wanna do the neck-through construction for authenticity, and I cant find neck sales like that anywhere


Any help

Carvin will sell you a neck-through blank with a blank headstock.

If you would have looked more closely at the bottom of the page, you would see that unshaped headstocks are available at no charge for a 4 string and a $30 option on a 5 string.

And you should be a little more courteous to folks that do your research for you.

From the website:

"For blank (rectangular) oversized unshaped and undrilled headstocks, select the option below (that will add a K after the model number)."
