About This Listing

For Sale is a 1980 Rickenbacker 4001 Jetglo, serial number TC 1154. All original with the exception of 2 knobs and it looks like a main screw in one of the tuners was replaced. Amazing classic Rick sound that you just cant get from a newer one. She's been played well and often and has an appropriate amount of wear for a 44 year old bass. Frets have wear but are very playable. Comes with an older hardshell case which I do not believe is original to the bass. I also have a stereo 1/4" Y- cable set so you can use the Ric-o-Sound feature unique to this bass. Shipping price includes UPS box and pro packing service. Feel free to ask questions and I can provide more detailed pics. Thanks for looking!

Product Overview
Initially developed as a deluxe, two-pickup upgrade to Rickenbacker’s 4000 bass, the Rickenbacker 4001 bass guitar has become a notable model for its long list of famous players. First released in 1961 with production lasting through the very early ‘80s, the 4001 has earned fans in bass players like Lemmy Kilmister, Kim Gordon, Rick James, Geddy Lee, and many, many more. The extra pickup was added to the 4001 to widen tonal possibilities and up the bass frequency response.
