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

This model is a reissue of the 4001V63, a reproduction of the 1963 4001.

The 4001 is a higher-end model of the company's first bass, the 4000, with the addition of a rear pickup, and is a historically significant instrument that was succeeded by the current 4003. It has been favored by numerous legendary bassists, including Paul McCartney (The Beatles), Chris Squire (Yes), and Cliff Burton (Metallica). (Titles omitted)

This particular instrument is believed to be from 1996.

The ""R1379630"" engraving on each potentiometer confirms its 1996 manufacture date.

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 its maple neck-through construction and body, this bass guitar is characterized by its dense low-end.

However, it doesn't become overly dark; instead, it offers a subtle compression and open nuance, which is a major appeal.

With its distinctive 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 various genres.

The frets have approximately 65% ​​remaining.

The truss rod is in good condition.

The neck is in good condition.

The body and paintwork show some minor scratches and small dents.

The electronics are in good condition.

No obvious modifications were observed.
