Rickenbacker is one of the most traditional guitar brands, enjoying enduring support from musicians worldwide to this day.

This model is the 4001, a historically significant instrument.

The 4001 is a higher-end model that added pickups to the 4000, the company's first model, and is the predecessor to the current flagship model, the 4003.

Many historical musicians, including Paul McCartney (The Beatles), Chris Squire (Yes), and Cliff Burton (Metallica), have used the 4001, which has taken the world by storm. (Titles omitted)

This particular instrument is believed to be from 1973-1974.

Each potentiometer bears the markings "●●●●7347," "137-7347," "1377414," and "1377414."

These markings were used to determine the age of the instrument.

The body and neck are made of maple, and the fingerboard is rosewood.

It features a neck-through construction.

The pickups, both neck and bridge, are original.

Due to the maple neck-through construction and body, it has a distinctive dense low-end.

However, it doesn't become too dark; the slight compression and open nuance are major attractions of the Rickenbacker 4001.

With its unique looks and specifications, yet fully fulfilling the requirements of a bass guitar, this instrument should perform well in heavy ensembles, pop, R&B, and across genres.

The frets have approximately 60% remaining.

The truss rod is in good condition.

The neck is in good condition.

The body and paintwork show fine scratches and minor dents throughout. The truss rod cover is partially chipped.

The electronics are in good condition.

No obvious modifications were observed.
