Hell has frozen over: The 4005 is back
ilan:
Ben Hall posts a pic of a Monty 4005 and says they will be cheaper than the XC.
Dave W:
Surprising. Way beyond my price range, whatever the cost turns out to be.
morrow:
I just saw that this morning.
Ben’s been one for change. I expect everybody to complain about it.
gearHed289:
Great looking bass. I'd like to try one out. I haven't bought anything new from Rickenbacker in 30 years. That's unlikely to change.

The one I tried (1967) left me underwhelmed. I understand that Ric aficionados want their 4005 to be historically accurate but the bridge pickup on it is really useless.
The one in the pic is a beauty with Monty over flamed maple, it's nice to see them experimenting outside the FG/MG/JG box.
