Rickenbacker Basses / Ben Hall hints to a "4000 Series kinda reissue" in the next few months

« on: May 02, 2022, 07:44:22 AM »

In the corporate website forum, responding to a discussion on checkerboard binding, he wrote - "And I don't plan on using it on a certain 4000 Series kinda reissue that might be revealed within the next few months or so", and two days later added "'kinda reissue' is the important part of my post."

Paul Boyer thinks a return of the V63. My guess is a production model of the 4002S and SW.

First time I see the new skunk stripe models on eBay. It's a very nice aesthetic touch.

Bought another upright yesterday - a ~1950 German-made, fully carved bass that belonged to Peter Marck, Principal Bass at the Israeli Philharmonic. Not his main bass, obviously, but still nice. It needs new strings and endpin, otherwise it's in great condition and set up very well. With Spiro's it will be perfect for jazz. I'm really happy.

Other Bass Brands / Peavey T40 resurrection?

« on: March 18, 2022, 11:18:33 AM »

I'm not even talking about asking prices - look at SOLD items on Reverb and eBay. These basses have gone from $200-300 boat anchors you couldn't give away, into $900-1,200 basses, one even sold at $1,761! and it was a natural/maple specimen, the most common finish.

What happened? Is there a new generation of buyers that don't mind the weight?

Those are good basses with a genius passive wiring that can mimic a wide range of "name" basses, from EB-0 to Ric-ish tones, but the 11-12lbs. weight killed them in the market. Has gravity changed recently?

Here's a 1981 NOS, complete with protective film on the pickguard, for $2,500:

$9,600 for a defretted Wal neck (Pro series, their budget model at the time) on a no-name PJ body plus some "ultra rare" bullshit... phew.
