Product Description
I have up for sale, my 1978 Rickenbacker 4001. It has a black (jetglo) finish. I am the 2nd owner of the bass, the original was a guitarist whom basically used it for recording.He passed away in 1993. The bass sat from then tell I bought it in late 2016. The photos are of when I got it. Photos are as the bass sits now, these pics were taken 2/15/17. The bass has D'addrio Chromes and is set up for E Flat, plays great. The 7th, 9th and 15th fret pearl block inlays has some cracks in them, common and not effecting playability. When I got the bass the jacks were static producing, electronic cleaner remedied this issue. That said the switch gets stuck in the neck position when you flip it up and it takes a lot of work to get it out of that position. It may need a new switch. It feel like the metal prongs the switch pivots on underneath are maybe a little bent so when flipped up it goes out of alignment. Idk how to explain that. That said I use the middle position which is both pickups and turn down the bridge pickup, thus isolating the neck pickup the same as the switch in the up position would do. I am not attempting to repair the switch and make it worse. Replacements are available from Rickenbacker if buyer wishes to fix or cant fix the old one. 40 year old 4001s this clean dont come up at this price ive watched them for years and i have sold much more beat up ones of this era without original cases for more, so its worth the little work needed, check reverbs price guide, its posted well under value.
It has a slim neck. While it has some wear, it is a great example of a 70's 4001. The finish is a nice gloss still and there are some light dings and dents but its pretty clean all over. The worst is some minor areas where the finish is worn through on the back edge shown, very small. Also one spot on the headstock with some finish loss. There is some light buckle rash on the back, have to angle the bass to see it. Small crack on pickguard but in a area that doesnt warrant replacement unless it bothers you. Jack plate show withe RJ serial number, which is 1978. Photos are of when I first got the bass so as you can see the strings are old and were strung by a guitarist , it has new d'addrios chromes on it now tuned in E flat and sounds great.
It Includes a original tolex case, which is in really good shape a testament of its use as a recording not gigging bass , all latches work well, the interior is clean and free of smells. I've had 6 70s 4001's and this is the cleanest both on condition of the bass and case.
