About This Listing

This Rickenbacker 4001 was made in the USA in 1978. It shows play wear, and there are some scratches on the back, but the bass is structurally sound with no cracks or repairs and overall it is in nice shape. The finish and parts are all original. It has been pro-setup in our store and plays and sounds great. It weighs 9 pounds 6 ounces and comes with a hard shell case.
