    Searching for Rickenbacker 4001 s/n PL7996

    According to my diary notes, it seems it was one year ago today that I started the search for my old Rickenbacker 4001, serial number PL7996, which I was daft enough to let out of my sight for a while back in the 1990s and as a result ended up being sold without my permission. Still no sign of...

    The Rickenbacker Club Part Twelve

    I used to have a Jetglo '76 that I really liked (and that I'm still trying to trace to buy back, if I can). Would like to find a replacement for it, as I really miss having a Jetglo.

    Thanks, but I'm looking for something older.

    The Rickenbacker Club Part Twelve

    USA friends. I'm taking a road trip from Florida up to NY next week and fancy trying to find a mid-70's Jetglo 4001 while I'm there. Would prefer a '76 but would consider '77 and maybe think about a '78. Road worn is fine. I'll be staying in the following areas for a couple of days each en...

    Searching for Rickenbacker 4001 s/n PL7996

    Hello All. I've received a message from a friend of mine earlier today saying a Jetglo 4001 with a Jazz Bass pickup in the bridge position appeared on Facebook UK marketplace this morning. However, the listing seems to have disappeared and does not also appear under the 'Sold' category. I...

    Searching for Rickenbacker 4001 s/n PL7996

    So, its been six months since I started this search. Still having no luck, although there have been a couple of near misses- a guitar shop in Germany recently sold PL7986 and the Rick Resource website, who have a member compiled database of over 50,000 instruments, are listing PL7998 as being...

    No longer available 1976 Jetglo Rickenbacker 4001

    OK, thank you. I'd be looking for a December ideally. Trying to get as close to what I originally had as I can. Good luck with the sale.

    No longer available 1976 Jetglo Rickenbacker 4001

    I used to own a Jetglo Dec '76 that I really liked. Been thinking about buying another. Is this a PL serial?

    Ampeg SVT-CL or SVT 2-Pro

    The SVT2 Pro is a terrible piece of design. Two circuit boards sandwiched together with two large iron core transformers mounted directly above? No thanks. See here- http://www.chambonino.com/work/ampeg/amp4.html Also, the enclosure is way too small for the amount of heat that those tubes...

    Searching for Rickenbacker 4001 s/n PL7996

    Six weeks on from the above and I'm still searching. There were a couple of brief moments of excitement during Nov, firstly when a used black/black '76 with road wear turned up on Reverb. But it was a manufactured a couple of weeks before mine according to the serial. Also, The Bass Gallery in...

    Searching for Rickenbacker 4001 s/n PL7996

    Slight change in the situation. I’ve received some information that has eliminated some of the uncertainty described above. The ex-partner mentioned definitely doesn't have it but the person who sold it in 1995 still has not replied to my follow up message after they claimed they “cannot...

    Searching for Rickenbacker 4001 s/n PL7996

    Just a quick update. Sadly, I am still no closer to finding it. Things are also becoming a bit murky. The situation is that I have now been in contact with the person who sold it back in 1995. However, they claim to “not remember that time” which is odd because, even though it was 28 years ago...

    Searching for Rickenbacker 4001 s/n PL7996

    It wasn't the studio itself that sold it, just someone who worked there. There is a strong suspicion, however, that it was sold to someone using the studio (a client, artist etc).
