And just when I thought I didn't want anything else!
Annoyingly, the bass is a much nicer shape than an original 4005. Fortunately, it's also likely to be impossibly expensive...
The guitar is of slightly less interest but still very nice. Needs a Kahler though.

But I'm guessing they'll be £5k each? Ouch
I'm not a Rickenbacker person, but I quite like the look of that bass guitar with the black hardware.
But typically for Rickenbacker, this is not it, despite the model number - possibly for production reasons (it’s clearly a 330 body), and possibly because they just seem to have a pathological inability to do what their customers want...
The irony is that the only 330-shape basses I can think of in the past are cheap short-scale Japanese copies.

Mind you, they're both bloody lovely looking.
I don't like the guitar - at all.
Semi Acoustic bass makes no sense to me - sorry, but it just makes them uneven in output and unless you are playing in a 1960s tribute band, I can't see any point.
The guitar is butt-fuck ugly. Its like a child drew the outline of a guitar, got bored halfway through and went back to CeeBeeBees. Its just awkward for the sake of being "cool" - and the mix of black hardware with that clownburst just looks cheap.
Rickie could do so much better than this (and have done previously). Try innovating rather than making stuff nobody wanted 30 years ago and realistically very few would use them now ...
