2008 Rickenbacker 4004Cii Cheyenne II “Blueburst” (BBR)

Ultra-Rare Discontinued Collector Grade Example

Offered here is an increasingly scarce and highly collectible Rickenbacker 4004Cii Cheyenne II finished in the legendary Blueburst (BBR), one of the most desirable modern-era Rickenbacker finishes ever produced.

Originally introduced as a limited Color of the Year finish, Blueburst 4004 basses were produced in extremely small numbers and are seldom seen on the open market today. Finding an original, unmodified example with the correct serialized jackplate, gold hardware, and clean cosmetics has become exceptionally difficult.

This instrument bears original serialized jackplate #08 15574 confirming 2008 production and authenticity.

The 4004 series itself has developed near cult status among serious Rickenbacker collectors and players due to:

  • significantly lower production numbers versus the 4003 series
  • discontinued status
  • neck-through construction
  • more modern, powerful tonal character
  • slimmer, faster neck profile
  • exceptional sustain and resonance

Many longtime Ric enthusiasts consider the 4004Cii to be one of the finest basses Rickenbacker ever produced.

This example features:

  • Rare original Blueburst (BBR) finish
  • Neck-through maple construction with walnut wings
  • Original gold hardware
  • Dual humbuckers
  • Bound body
  • Original serialized jackplate
  • Original Rickenbacker hard case (if included)

The Blueburst finish is particularly striking in person and has become one of the most sought-after collector finishes from the era. Photos do not fully capture the depth and visual character of the burst under natural light.

Collector-grade Rickenbackers of this caliber rarely become available, particularly in Blueburst. A serious opportunity for the Ric collector, investor, or player seeking one of the rarest and most distinctive modern Rickenbacker basses produced.

NOTE : There are light minor scratches in finish due too regular player wear. One barely noticeable depression ( no chip ), so small it wont photograph.
RIC Case included
