Neal purchased a Geddy Lee bass from me quick payment and no mucking around another fine Bass Chatter . highly recommend doing business.

the string popping out of the slot on the A string is common on the Geddy's make sure your string is pulling down on the nut and not at the same height in other words make sure the string is far down the actual tuner wind. putting tension on the nut and puling down. there is hardly a groove on those nut's the string just sits on top.

Pete purchased my Moog minitaur , money paid , deal done , the way it should be. this is why bass chat is a great place to sell equipment. thanks Pete.

Beedster, you are spot on with your observation with the strings not lining up with the pole piece on the pickups, this is a recent thing and to be honest it is laziness on whoever put that bass together, some say it does not matter if the string lines up or not, well i disagree i want my string right in the middle of the pole. and it is a simple thing to rectify, it should not be happening !!! full stop, and QC at Rickenbacker should be picking up on that, i emailed them myself . they are defo better now than they were 2 or 3 years ago, but i wouldn't buy one blind. I sold Paul Gray a really nice 77 maple 4001 a few months back and he was chuffed with it.

The good news is they have been turning out some nice Basses recently i purchased a new Ruby 2014 myself a couple of months back and it is a great playing/sounding bass zero issues so i think you should be ok. just be sure the E string is ringing like the rest of the strings that was the first thing i did when i went to buy mine no issues. Ruby is now my fav colour on the 4003 and hard to find in uk. enjoy.

Decided to keep them.
