Title says it all. Want the McCartney thump of a Hofner. Pics available to interested Hofner folks...not interested in selling right now but may if no offers come forward.

The 4004 is a very modern sounding Rickenbacker bass...different from the 4003 because of humbuckers but still has that Rickenbacker growl...great bass but I'm looking for the Beatles thump...

Some pics of the 4004. Interested in Rickenbacker 4001, 4003, and Hofners....maybe Fender Jazz '75 reissue...whatcha got?

I just bought this bass this week from North Coast Music...brand new. The neck is chunkier than what I'm used to, can't get used to it. Dead quiet electronics. Excellent RIC tones, different from a 4001 or 4003 but very RIC.
