Product details:

We're all in agreement at The Bass Shop. This is the raddest 4001 we've played in a very long time. It is in exceptional condition for being 45 years old and includes the original pickup cover. That's what makes this bass a shop favorite. In excellent shape, '78 Ricks can range between $4,000 and $5,000. This one's worth the top end price, but we're pricing it lower. The original case has been replaced with a modern Gator hardshell.
