Rickenbacker Basses / Re: Hell has frozen over: The 4005 is back

May I ask something heretical? Why is it a cause for celebration if a bass doesn't feature a neck pup?
The 4002 does have a "neck" pickup in the middle position, just like all Jazz Basses do.

Posted by a friend. Not sure of the source.
I know that guy.  He is also pictured (elsewhere) with the white 4002 RI (?).

I'll say!  Call it "Enhanced"
Perhaps, a V67 prototype?  ;D

I'd say optimized rather than modded... beautiful bass Jeff.
Thanks, Ilan!  I try not to do things that are too crazy.  :mrgreen:

Note that the pickguard on it (from Pickguardian) is made of the same material as the inlays.  Tony also made one for me from the stock white material; both were sent on with the bass when I sold it years ago.

Sorry, I couldn't tell from the photos that it was a real horseshoe in there.
It is hard to tell, sometimes!  Here is a photo of the pickup before I bought it and put in the first of three basses it was in (May '08 4003, April '98 4001V63, March '73 4001, of which it is still in that last bass).

Did you put a toaster at the bridge position too? Or am I remembering a different bass?

Nice of your bandmates to make you so visible.
Stage logistics aren't always the best, sometimes.  And, personally, I am just fine with being "out of the way" as I am not really a singer but I have to contribute what I can (not that song in particular, though); note the boom stand with my Audix OM5.  You'll also see my old 4001V63 sitting on a stand off to my left a couple times.

As to the toaster question, the bridge toaster was on my old '04 4003FL that a RRF member has owned since December '06.  The JG 4003 I am playing in that video has a re-built (by Dale Fortune) early '60s horseshoe pickup in it, as seen in the photos, above.

My old '08 4003 with the mods I did to it.

I'll give the bassist props for using a Strymon Flint (I've had mine since the mid '10s).

I particularly like Jon's bass line as a sort of counterpoint to Annie's vocals in "Ocean Gypsy".

Most seem to have buried the anti English bit , and the Catholics seem ok about the Protestants here too .

Heck even the Campbells are accepted.
Their tomato soup, too?

One of my favorite Genesis songs!

They did that song when I saw them for the first time on April 14, 1973.  :)

Dark Side Of The Moon is too glossy.
It certainly wasn't perceived that way in 1973 when I saw the tour that June.  :)
