Roscoe Century Standard 4L Plus

The top is from a tree at my parents house I used to play in when I was a kid. The tree broke in a storm last July, and I wanted to do something meaningful with it. I think Keith and co. did a great job with it.

Re: 1999 Rickenbacker 4004 CII Mapleglo

Hi folks. I'm brand new here, and although I'm not a leftie (yeah, I know, BOO!) I'm intrigued by the leftie Rick Cii with the quilted top. FishDDS, Is there any way I can get a copy of your outdoor shots of that bass for use in my forthcoming book, "Rickenbacker Basses - 50+ Years As Rock's Bottom ...

Re: Roscoe LG 3005-L

We would need to know the serial number of the bass to know when it was made. For example, my fretless LG-3005 is number four thousand, seven hundred something and was made in 2002. At that time, there was no "signature" or "standard" anything, just what is now the custom. The "signature" came in ...

Re: 1999 Rickenbacker 4004 CII Mapleglo

fishdds , beautiful bass.

Do that one suffer from the "Weak E" issue ? That's the main reason keeping me from purchasing Rickenbacker basses without trying them first.

I didn't know about this "weak E" issue. I'm not a Rickenbacker collector, though. This is the only one I've had, and the string ...

Re: 1999 Rickenbacker 4004 CII Mapleglo

I'm in central North Carolina.

Since I don't seem to be seeing much interest here, I'll be listing it on talkbass, and then on ebay. A search on ebay for Rickenbacker 4004 Cheyenne II only turned up a couple of basses, both of which the "buy it now" price was around $3000. Yikes!

Re: 1999 Rickenbacker 4004 CII Mapleglo

When I first ordered the bass in 1998, it was supposed to be a Cheyenne I, which didn't have the figured top, just the walnut wings full thickness. Also, the truss rod cover was mostly black on that model, if I recall. But it took about 7 months for Ric to make it, and I guess during that time they ...
