NBD - '72 Rickenbacker 4001 Bass

Picked this up locally yesterday. The wiring was shot and the neck pup is not showing any activity, but it's all original otherwise. I had a buddy of mine redo the wiring with the assistance of RIC schematics. The aging of the jetglo finish (slight forest green appearance) coupled with the checkerboard binding really makes this bass pop. And how about that fretboard with the crushed pearl inlay? Pretty sweet. I really want to hang this thing in a prominent place in my living room. Hope you enjoy the pics!
