1977 Rickenbacker 4001 made in the USA in Jetglo finish, showing substantial and authentic cosmetic wear consistent with its age.

This bass retains its original components except for the truss-rod nuts, which were replaced with stainless-steel units. It has received a complete refret and full setup at Montréal Guitar. A Montréal Guitar-designed Rickenbacker Rod Saver was also installed in the truss-rod access cavity. This C-shaped unit corrects and supports bent truss-rod nuts; the installation is reversible and involves no permanent modification to the instrument. The selector switch tip is missing.

The instrument includes a period black square import-style hardshell case that appears to be original to the instrument.

Professionally inspected, evaluated and fully set up by Montréal Guitar.
