Up for sale is a 1975 Rickenbacker 4001 in its original Burgundyglo finish. Old Ric's just do it better! This one is a killer and resonant bass that captures all of the magic of a great 70's 4001. This one comes to us in very good condition showing some checking and wear on the finish along with a few scattered nicks, dings, and chips. All of this in my opinion is truly honest play wear and nothing seems out of character for a bass of this age. When we got this one it needed some love, both pickups have been rewound and the wiring harness was replaced as well. All that being said this bass sounds killer and now functions just as it should. The frets do show some minor wear but have lots of life left in them. Don't miss out on a great Rick bass!

NOTE TO OUR VALUED CUSTOMERS:
We want you to be happy with your purchase and we try to represent the condition of all used and vintage guitars as accurately as possible in our listings. Every used guitar shows some signs of play wear and vintage models even more so. We call out all areas of damage or unusual wear, and describe the overall condition based upon what is "normal" for the age of the instrument. Expect to see minor dings, finish checking, or other evidence of normal use and aging which may not be captured by photography or explicitly mentioned in the listing.
We recognize that everyone has their own personal standard of what constitutes acceptable wear and tear. If play wear is especially critical for you, please contact us at the Shop for a complete in-hand description and to answer any questions you may have. Your satisfaction is of paramount importance to us.
