This opinion concerns a Rickenbacker 4000 bass from 1971 to 1972 with a neck-through. Production in 1973 is going ds design cheaper and glue disappeared while beginners 80s.
It does makes the United States (of course). This makes it spcificit from the MODEL 4001 is the absence of the neck pickup, the lack of binding and white again in the form of point. The picture is attached is that of a 4001 and not a 4000.
We find also that two knobs: volume and tone. No switch. Finally we deal the A model with only the essentials.
When I bought mine, it had t change in 4001 with the addition of a neck microphone with 4 knobs and one switch. Your exact n'tait not gnial (the body was t real bitch and cblage silent catastrophe). The micro bridge (not that silent original sr) ds squealed as j'tais less than 10m from my amp. So I removed the neck microphone, the microphone chang bridge to a Seymour Duncan (waaaa!), presented a plaque and repeated the cblage 4000. The painting has a lot fireglo morfler in 40 years but the age was dark and I DCID to keep it as a despite countless pets.
UTILIZATION
The neck is super enjoyable. The low nose stings a little but it is absolutely superb, we can not have it all. Access in acute is not the strongest point but who cares, it is not the show is known for great play. APRS in terms of finding a good sound with 2 knobs, a should be fine. I advise even when at least one lamp to accompany the prampli bte ... or a transistor amp trs good quality (GK). I have no all-tube Ampeg (ben not) but my Ashdown EVO II does all that do the trick without ruining my back.
SOUNDS
So for all those who have never jou Rick, Listen to Rush, Motrhead, the very very first Metallica, the Beatles (let it be), Dozer, early Pink Floyd, ... The common thread is that good old low. The 4000 does not send micro neck but even when well in the low and can easily compete with the 4001 and 4003 MODELS. The sound is really powerful and incomparable. I play with an Ashdown ABM rig, a Bassdriver Tech 21 and occasionally a bass big muff. I play this bass stoner and gives exactly the right thing with a plectrum (I got put against-heart, I prfre fingers). The micro Seymour Duncan associated with the hardness of the wood and sustain the incredible Rick gives an alchemy that is scary. Graouh!
OVERALL OPINION
Oh yeah, I have not put any notes. It is far from being perfect bass (ergonomics questionable dsquilibre few versatility ,...) but it is what I always rv in terms of Aesthetics and sound. I had lots of bass (and I still have a lot) but it is extraordinary, incomparable (apart from possibly be an old Fender amricaine very heavy and cumbersome). She has a little magic and ct is likely the next 40 years my cts. Like an old Harley up by pice pice, it is priceless.
