I don't think Rickenbacker have made C64s for a decade or more so would have had the dual trussrods (especially because they were the more pricey "vintage correct" model. Kinda. A right handed version of a lefty...They also didn't have a zero fret.
I'm going for a HW custom order tribute passed on as genuine.
Happy to be wrong but that's where I'd place my bet.
These days I view myself as the instrument and basses as tools. Keeps things simple that way, and also silences that confusing voice of sentimentality.
Strangely, the new 2023 4003 basses now have a single trussrod, whereas the 2023 4003s basses are advertised as having "an improved dual truss rod system".
Typo or just Rickenbacker being Rickenbacker? 🤷♂️

I'll also throw in a mix bag of all the strings I have in my drawer here to experiment with. New and used, all top brands, used strings all usable and barely used. Cut for Fender so will fit most basses out there.
That looks great. I like the thicker thru-skunkstripe, reminds me of the 4005 at the headstock (which is the best looking headstock they've done inmho).
How's it playing now?
