Original vintage 1976 Rickenbacker 4001 in gorgeous playing condition, with original case! The definitive rock bass, this old Ricky is 100% original, and freshly set up for roundwound 105’s.

The neck is arrow straight, perfectly intonated, with plenty of room for adjustment, truss rods excellent. She’s been well loved, well played, and well cared for, with lots of genuine vintage finish wear and patina to prove it!

The neck pickup is massive and thumpy, gorgeous, bell tone in the bridge, with lots of dig, and growl. Keeper!
