I would agree with the OP that the 4003W neck needs a little more attention than the highly lacquered model. I have a 2018 4003 that hasn't needed a truss rod adjustment yet, but on my 2014 4003W I've had to adjust it a couple of times over the last year - not rocket science and easily done. My...

a PF-800! Maybe a new cab for New Years.

Got to have some white! Can't warm up to the tort yet.

In my ever growing search for equipment to protect my already toasted brain from multiple daily small doses of radiation from my cell phone, and not to be that annoying dude that holds the phone a foot in front of his face so everyone can hear his conversation, I purchased some air tube...

You gotta throw in some James Gang - Funk# 49, and Rick Derringer's Rock and roll Hoochie Koo.

This!

Gigged for 6 years from 79 through 85 4 nights a week and never had a passing thought of buying a pedal. Gave it up, had a family, and 30 years later came back to playing and bought a slew of them. After playing again for a couple of years now, just a tuner and a HPF. Cant wait to see @JimmyM's...

Paid $96 for two sets yesterday with tax and shipping - great deal! Picked up a new (2015) American Deluxe Jazz yesterday so needed some more TI's!

I always default to "when electricity came to Arkansas"... always worked at gigs too when someone in the band was having a little technical difficulty with their equipment. As long as my rig still worked I'd jump into it with the drummer and keep em entertained for a few! Good tune to check out...

And here is practice in the welding shop. Check out those shorts!

1983 in a smoke filled bar... as usual.

Wow, you guys have some overkill practice set-ups! Awesome... I would have the police at my door if I went with anymore than the little Rumble 40. I also have the little Vox amp per OP. Mostly this little set-up into phones.

Veneman's Music Emporium USA.. 1979 Rickenbacker 4001 in blue. Mail order with Anvil flight case. Here is a pic of the page.
