1974 Rickenbacker 4001 Bass (USA, Mapleglo, Rickenbacker HC)
Lovely mid 1970s Ric 4001.
Some cool features for the 4001 of this period.
Knurled strap buttons, and the small shark tooth inlays.
Bridge pickup cover is removed but included in sale (it's in the case).
Little crack on the pickguard, and a little discolouration on the back of the neck near the G.
Machineheads replaced with waffle back tuners from an Aria Rick copy (original waffle back grovers are in the case)
But shoot, this bass is purely and simply, rock and roll.
Comes with a 90s Rickenbacker case.
Born to Lose, Live to Win.
SN NF4029.
Weight: 4.25kgs
"Shoot, shoot, shoot, hey!
Please tell me kind, I'm out of my mind
And I'm telling you It's not that I'm bad,
I'm totally mad I'm a boogaloo
I'm certain I must be a burden
Completely
Over the top, over the top" - you know who.
