Good find, if for no other reason than the unique finish. I wonder if that is a factory original one-off or a previous owner had that done. As for the bridge, Paul, of course, knows more way more than I do, but the early Rickenbackers notoriously suffered from bridge lift. My 1979 4001 has it...

That's what I wanted to know... :( I wonder if there's a way we could change their minds...

To those of us who use a stereo bass setup, feel free to chime in with what you have, how you have it set up and what it sounds like!

The third picture, the shot down the neck, is now my desktop background. (Flipped horizontally to make it look left-handed, of course :D) Absolutely fantastic! Thanks for taking such high-resolution shots!

Will this bass accommodate left-handed stringing without modification and play comfortably that way? Thanks!

D'addario was kind enough to put a string tension guide on their website that might help: http://daddario.com/upload/tension_chart_13934.pdf How cool is that?

Hi Jayce, I just stumbled upon this thread and I see it's 10 months old, but I figure it couldn't hurt to ask if you still have this bass, and haven't convinced the missus to let you keep it. :D Later!
