Selling my vintage Rickenbacker 4001 S bass in the very sought after rBurgendyglo finish. It has the serial number SD 2207, making this an April 1979 model. It has a set neck with the classic skunk stripe. Aside from the strap buttons having been changed the bass is totally original. The bass produces the full range of 4001 tones with great aplomb. The neck is very straight, very fast, and with very low action, having recently had a professional set up. It comes in its original Rickenbacker hard case; S cases are even rarer than the basses. All in all this bass is a real gem and will be sad to see her go.

Not only this individual but also old Rickenbackers from the dual rod period have delicate necks, so leaving them in tune is strictly prohibited. Since this is an era where you can feel the ruggedness that is in line with the trends of the '70s, it is a perfect match for bands who want to bring out the '70s taste in both visual and sound.

Here we have a 1977 Rickenbacker 4001 in Mapleglo finish. This bass plays and sounds like what it is, an icon of the bass world! It is the best I have ever played with its stereo output to really scope your tone and that classic Ricky sound that is so distinctive. It is in very condition for a bass of this age with acceptable wear throughout. There is a an area of missing lacquer that points to this being a well used but loved instrument. Any questions, please drop me a line, you are welcome to come and try her out, I have a rig that will show what this can do in the right hands.
