How common are these - never seen one before...?

In the Register on the RickResource forum there are 1526 4003's and 26 2030's registered. This should give a relative indication.

1968 Deluxe!

Pretty!

But:

Strings are very high and no room for adjustment:

It will not.

Problem is modern Ricky sadles will not fit early/pre '73 sadle unit's (I am not sure of this word). The idea of a a three corner fille  is a good one!

My favorite strings (rickenbacker strings) rattle in these sadles. But to my amazement TI Jazz flats do not. I am a lazy sod. I have not checked intonation recently. I usually tune 5th position whenever I suspect intonation is not 100 %.

Yeah,it just means that you dont have to use locktite on them :mrgreen:

I did use that against ratling. But I somehow believe it might be the strings ratling in the sadles which are too deep now.

Early Rick's have aluminum sadles. Are these allparts bridges better than (later) originals?

Thank you,Thank you all. :)The april 73 jet and the july 72 maple,Never had their original bridges.The jan 73 fireglo is completely original.The jet has a repro(pickguardian)pickguard.Other than the bridge its complete and original.The 72 is complete sans bridge.They are all completely different basses.They all have their own distinct voice.

I now have 9 Rickenbacker basses (and sold 2). None of them sound and feel the same. Otherwise I would not have 9 ehh. ;) Early, or pre- '73 bridges are very hard to get. I need sadles for one of mine, the other has a later bridge.

Heres mine.

Nice! Can I have one of the original bridges? Or at least the sadles?

I forgot another option. Another bassplayer has a handrest put on his bass. You could use this is a fingerrest.

I'm a Gemini, does that explain anything? (provide scientific proof of course.)

I thought that meant I had to have as many different basses as posible. ;-)

Too many basses? Is there such a thing?

You don't even have 1 Rickenbacker, so you need at least one more.

My criterion to keep bass'es is if I play them regularly or in 1 instance (my first Rick, a 4000) emotional attachment.
