Cough, snort, hack... (wakes up) tons of Mopar parts?

Congratulations on getting the bass back Denis. I like happy endings.

Apparently he had tons of cars. If I'd run across him 2 years ago I could have bought an awesome car off him: ex-Virginia State Police '72 Fury. Had been storage for years, complete and he sold it for $800.

He got it back...

Well seeing that all of my Photobucket photos from previous posts are no longer available since I deleted my PB account a few months back I thought that I'd repost this from page 1 of this thread.

This is my 1973 Burgundyglo 4001 Rickenbacker bass serial # MD1582.

It was one of the last made before the transition took place. It has checkered binding, full with MOP inlays, toaster neck p/u, horseshoe RI bridge pickup with original 73 rectangular surround, split bridge tailpiece, Grover wave tuner machines. Dark Burgundyglo with minor belt rash on the back of the body down to the bare wood. Minor crack in pickguard between edge of the toaster p/u and the upper side of the pickguard.




She's been gone for the past 11.5 yrs and I would love to get her back. I have a feeling it's in the Maryland or DC area. I do own MD1591 which is identical in features to MD1582.

Would sure love to get her back. Please let me know if you ever happen upon it.

Cheers,

TD

PS - Thx (again) to Dave for providing this forum.



Please keep your eyes open for my stolen 1973 Burgundyglo Rickenbacker 4001 Serial # MD1582. It was stolen in November of 2006. Reward for its return. Thx!
