Much nicer than the modern fireglo.

If research was easy, it wouldn't need doing...
Staring at that event horizon is a dirty job, but someone has to do it; something's going to come back out of it one day...

Just how rare and realistically priced is this beastie...?

All I need it is the lottery and I can collect in my wife's mpv...  ;D

Wow, that's a rare beast with the '69 s/n. I've only ever seen '71s with 21 frets.

Paul Boyer

From the book:

"Nowhere in Rickenbacker catalogs or price lists is there a mention of 4001 basses made with 21-fret fingerboards. Yest from 1969 to '71, an unknown number of them were made this way."

Is that an extra-long tug bar or am I imagining things?

Yeah, definitely looks weird to me.

I had one like that fireglow...only it looked as if it had been drug behind the truck...even beat up, it was a thing of beauty.

A nice JG 4080, no BIN and no reserve, started at $1.

A beautiful  '72 Jetglo. Sellers say functioning truss rods and no neck crack, but was refretted.


Dave W

Nice one. Even with the refret, I'm not surprised it's already up to $2500.

ilan

I love Jetglo with yellowed binding and inlays. They should have done Amber JG.
