go here kay sg bass - Google Search Although it looks like the pickguard and pickups have been replaced, I believe that this is the model.

[Invalid or Expired Link Removed] They will also just sell you the unfinished husk for a pretty reasonable price if you want to do the color/pickups/electronics yourself. There's also this one...

Hello, I saw these new gold foil guitar pickups at Allparts and I was wondering if any of you know if the original H-22 gold foil pups were basically the same pup? These are 6 pole guitar pickups but so were the original Rickenbacker Toasters. I love the look of these and want to try them in my...

Here's my Airline that a friend grabbed for me at a pawn shop for $75. Cool little bass with a really fat, almost upright sound. I believe they were marketed to guitar players who wanted to be able to take a fill in bass gig, or play guitar and bass. Very short scale neck and too tight for me to...

That Lemmychicken looks pretty nice!!! They are also offering an actual 4005 chickenbacker as well as some 4003chickens with checkerboard binding, and they will sell you an unfinished body only as well. Their 4005 looks way off but another site had one with the top horn more in proportion...

Somebody could be making a killing if they designed a smaller, universal, class d bass amp case that could easily secure to your cabinet. If it could universally house markbass, genz benz, orange, or any of the other numerous small heads it would be an instant success. I finally bought the...

Selling 4005's too [Invalid or Expired Link Removed] That's the first, actual 4005 that I've seen from China. Earlier they were using pictures of real Rickenbacker 4005's. It is a little tempting to just order the unfinished body/neck and customize your own 4005.

Great track! Not really sure of the year but King Curtis was killed/murdered in 1971 so this must've been within a year or two before that. Check out his bio....he played on tons of r&b and rock and roll tunes...from The Coasters and Buddy Holly to John Lennon.

I just picked up an Ampeg B50R (usa made by SLM) It powers on and the light comes on and I can faintly hear the amp hum (but not through the speaker) But other than that, no sound when I plug my bass into it. I was wondering if anyone has had this issue with their B50R. Of course I plan on...

The fret markers and tuners are definately Teisco. I'm not sure of the model but check out some 60's teisco catalogs on the web and you'll probably find what you're looking for.

Gotta love Atlanta cl.... I saw this add under musical instruments and had to admire the style of it! Full Ampeg bass rig - $600 (Marietta) For sale: Ampeg V4B bass head- all tube. look it up. 2- Ampeg 1x15 cabs Cables to hook it all up You want thunder? I got thunder. This is an...

"Promised Land" always goes over well with the over 40 crowd...everyone knows Elvis did it, few know that Chuck wrote it!

I always liked the quirkiness of this Teisco model and wish I could find one for $50!!! I am kinda looking for a beater NB4 that I can re-finish and mod. Question for you Tabdog....I've seen several of these on ebay with the same string alignment issue that your NB4 had when you got it (the...

I've been wanting to give one of these a try but I'm worried about ordering from tradetang...but where else you gonna find a 4005 copy?Invalid Link Removed
