Rickenbacker 4003S/5 Walnut 2018 , fully working and in very good cosmetic condition. Very playable 5 string with adjustable bridge and fast ’light varnish’ on neck rather than the paint on the non-walnut models. Nice body contour and includes special 5-string Rickenbacker pickups, and push/pull 4003/4001 circuit choice for bridge pickup. See pics for small marks, note one of the case feet has pushed in which is apparently common - case works fine. The 4003S/5 is no longer made and the walnut ones don’t come up very often in the UK. Only selling as I am focussing on double bass. UK postage only, will send by ParcelForce. Trial/tea/biscuits welcome near Tonbridge, Kent. Also for sale on Reverb (for more to cover costs).

In as-new ungigged condition, very light home studio use only. The latest 4003 model with improved bridge for easy intonation, body contour for comfort, and exclusively for the walnut models, the neck has light varnish rather than paint - which I found faster for left-hand shifting, having struggled with the paint finish on previous Rics. Also has the push/pull to switch between the 4003 or 4001 circuit (4001 adds a treble bleed capacitor inline of the bridge pickup for more bite and less bass). Gorgeous grain on the top. Imported last year from a premier US Rickenbacker dealer, only selling as I am now focusing on double bass. Comes with the original unused case with all case candy, genuine Rickenbacker leather strap, Ricky Sounds Stereorama box for easy separate routing of bridge and neck pickup to different amps or effect chains, and unused Ricky Sounds clear thumb rest which can be installed using existing pickguard screw holes and provided screws for easy fingerstyle near the neck pickup. UK only, will despatch with ParcelForce 48 in original box. Also on sale on Reverb (for more , to cover costs). Trial/tea/biscuits welcome, near Tonbridge, Kent.

Audio Sprockets Tone Dexter II, 2024, boxed with power supply and USB cable, in full working condition. Cosmetically excellent - I can’t see any marks, all sides shown in photos. Very pleased with the results of mapping my piezo tone to a ribbon mic and a small diaphragm pair for live double bass with full tone without feedback. Only moving it on as I’m saving for a new DB…and no longer in a band! Also works with other piezo mic’d acoustic stringed instrument, here’s the info from Audio Sprockets below. Note the manual is online-only and available from the Audio Sprockets website. “ToneDexter II is an innovative professional grade preamp that uses proprietary WaveMap® technology, and sophisticated tone shaping controls, to correct a stringed instrument’s piezo pickup so that it sounds like a mic in a live and recording environment.” “[…] It can learn the difference between how an instrument sounds through a microphone and how it sounds through its pickup. Using proprietary WaveMap® technology, it corrects the pickup so that it sounds like the mic.” Price includes tracked UK postage. Thanks for looking! Note: listed elsewhere for more, but hoping it goes to a BC’er 😁
