    Thanks for the kind comments and also for the photo of CB.

    As I have had offers of trades I should perhaps say that this is a 'for sale' only deal.

    The bass weighs 9.5lbs using the bathroom scale method. The fret wear is minimal - this bass has a lot of playing left in it. I have played this bass and was not aware of any neck dive whatsoever. I'm not well acquainted with Rickenbackers as to what neck profiles they have. All I can say is that it feels very comfortable and familiar to me as a Precision player. I am a dyed-in-the wool Precision fan and have not really considered Ricks before. However, if I had the money for this bass I would certainly be buying it myself.

    I am selling this rather nice Burgundyglo 1978 Rickenbacker 4001 on behalf of a very good friend of mine. The bass is in excellent order with the usual wee dings and marks that you would expect from a bass of this age. There are two areas where the paint is worn through to the wood and I include pics of these. It looks to me that the wear on the front of the bass has been added by a previous owner who has anchored his/her finger on the top in order to play with the thumb. This mark has been caused by natural wear and is not a ding. This bass has been played very little for many years as my friend is a guitar player and only used the Rick on the odd occasion when he was asked to provide bass playing duties. The asking price is £1230 which includes delivery and p&p. The robust case in the pics is also included in the sale.

    I'm looking at the decal of this bass and thinking that something is not quite right. The case also looks weird.

    The top horn is longer than standard. Apparently it makes the bass balance better. Have a look here: [url="http://www.classicandcoolguitars.co.uk/basses/longhornjazz.htm"]http://www.classicandcoolguitars.co.uk/basses/longhornjazz.htm[/url]

    [quote name='AndyBob09' timestamp='1344036461' post='1759141'] 13th Note is indeed a cool bar. I cut my teeth in there in a new band a few years ago. That gig went down extremely well.[/quote] I have happy memories of being a 'roadie' for my sons' bands at the 13th Note. One night the band played the 13th Note and then immediately after the gig hurtled through to Edinburgh to play a late slot at Whistlebinkies. I was knackered for about two days!

    [quote name='The Dark Lord' timestamp='1344032195' post='1759106'] Fender USA Precision Standard. No better bass. Nothing even comes close. Accept no substitute. Respect no copies. Strap on and rock. [/quote] Got to agree with the Dark Lord here. I've had Mexican, Japanese, and USA. For me it has to be USA.

    That is truly beautiful. Good luck with the sale.

    It was only a matter of time. Somebody in Sweden is very lucky!

    [quote name='LukeFRC' timestamp='1343765628' post='1754986'] hey, the deep fried mars bar is a east coast thing. also please keep the attached photo for reference: [/quote] I love that photo Luke. It's a shame the photo doesn't include Edinburgh. Oh wait - Edinburgh doesn't have a transport system!

    [quote name='jaydentaku' timestamp='1343757400' post='1754769'] Glasgow is fantastic. I suggest a wonder down Ashton lane. The bar linked with the Grosvner Cinema is fantastic and there is a burger place just next door called ketchup (I think). [/quote] Ashton Lane is one of my very favourite places. [quote name='JayPH' timestamp='1343757038' post='1754757'] Don't listen to him he's clearly been on the Buckfast j/k mate honest. I've never been but will do one day I hope It's just the same as wherever I go outside of Liverpool people crack jokes about us being robbing bastards. Which is quite true by the way [/quote] JayPH, my daughter-in-law is a scouser and you won't find better folk on the face of the earth - they remind me of Glaswegians!

    Wait a minute here. Just wait a minute. Glasgow is one of the greatest cities on earth. There is no other city in the UK in which I would rather live. I say this because I have lived in Glasgow and suburbs for 45 years. The people are marvellous. All those cliches that are being tramped out here could be applied to any UK city. Glasgow is a great place to be.

    I'm afraid this is not a forum for offers. If you are selling then you must state a price or your ad will be pulled. You'll find it all explained in the terms and conditions.

    I took delivery of my 83 Precision yesterday and it is marvellous. If folks could get access to these 82-85 Precisions and see and feel the quality for themselves they may well realise that late 70s precisions are overpriced in comparison. I'm not saying that late 70s basses aren't good but IMHO opinion the 82-85 era are better basses (and usually much lighter). The price of this bass is extremely fair. Someone should take the plunge and buy it, they won't regret it.

    I'm probably well wrong here but is it not possible to get your current neck repaired? If not, then I'm also with Rich on this one. Maple and mint.
  19. Hutton
    Very nice P-basses Nick. Thanks for posting.
  20. Hutton
    I really like the black pickguard look to this bass. It deserves a bump for that alone!
  21. Hutton
    Very nice 73Jazz. I have an 84 precision in ivory although mine has the rosewood fingerboard. I think you'll find that the pickup covers have also been changed from white to black to match the pickguard. These are superb basses from the era when good quality was once again being produced from the Fullerton factory under the leadership of Bill Schultz. I like my 84 so much that I purchased an 83 in black with maple fingerboard and am awaiting its arrival this week. All the very best with the sale, someone is going to get a beautiful bass.

    [quote name='paulmcnamara' timestamp='1342957237' post='1743088'] Following on from Hutton's comment: there is perhaps something a little disingenuous regarding relicing. At its heart we are try to make out that a bass is much older than it is; and possibly also that we have played it so much that the wear is a result of our gigging/rehearsing, wearing our musical credentials on our sleeve or instrument as it were. Of course the distressed look is fashionable too, and has been for some time in many walks of life. There is perhaps something about wanting to get to the destination without travelling the journey though..... think of stone washed pre faded jeans. I can't help but think that the promise oldness provides is an illusion. We often feel good about wearing our old comfortable clothes, because they feel part of us. But I wonder if we perhaps fool ourselves into thinking that a Roadworn Fender or a Nash is going to feel like an old friend from the word go? Its an interesting area of discussion and perhaps easy to see why thinking regarding relicing is often so polarised? Be interested to know others thoughts. (Hope I haven't hijacked this thread too much) [/quote] Absolutely spot on. I couldn't agree more. However, I always maintain that an owner can do whatever they like with their instrument so, that being the case, if relicing is the route then the advice of Rich (Ou7shined) and your own sensible approach should give you a good result.

    [quote name='gafbass02' timestamp='1342856179' post='1741849'] My little un loves my guitars but is very careful around them. She's three now but I still love this pic. [/quote] To get a wee one to look at the camera, to smile, and to hold on to the bass all at the same time is just fantastic. I can well understand why you cherish this picture. Superb!

    Thanks for the edit. All is well!

    Here's my 62 reissue when it was new. It's now a nice creamy colour. [IMG]http://i30.photobucket.com/albums/c322/Williamwood/P8240175.jpg[/IMG]
