Basses you would like to see reissued

I was too lazy to check if this was already mentioned, but

[Invalid or Expired Link Removed]

The Rickenbacker 4005.

I doubt I'd be able to afford it, but I can surely save up if John Hall ever decides to do it :D

yeah, mentioned a lot, probably more often than any other bass. However, +1 trillion for the 4005. I'd order one. Right now!

Wouldn't say NO to a 4004LK, anyway :smug:
 
A piece right out of the 1990 Ibanez catalog. I have the exact same pickups and electronics in my SDGR.
I always thought these were Awesome!.

My Bro-in-Law has one in black (thew some DR Black Beauties on it)... it sure is light...other than that it's pretty unremarkable.

In 1992 They had a Bubinga/Wenge Neck.By '93 they were done, I still kick myself for not getting one though.

Now tell me Greg Christian didn't look anorexic in that picture

I sold my SB1500 in 94' to move to Alaska, I've been trying to replace that bass ever since. There is one for sale on some kind of South American E-bay web site.
