Thanks for that story Dale. It sounded exciting especially getting off all the 'filthy sweat' of Paul's and with a limo driver waiting on it all! Much like a formula 1 pitstop. The information on the 'leaving the action on the high side' is also duly noted. I always thought even his Rickenbacker sounded a bit thumpy and 'Hofnerish'.

"Silly love songs"In my opinion is the best rick tone he got!I loath flat wounds on a rick(or any bass for that matter)But that particular bass tone has something about it.....He never got that tone on anything else with the rick.

He did Rain with the Ric, one of best tone/basslines of all time !

That is a great story.  I think I like the story of the Mercedes Benz spy mission even better!

Any recollection of building a 4001 short scale?  They were an option in the catalog, but I never saw one.
