jonsparrow91 Posted September 7, 2010 Share Posted September 7, 2010 (edited) Simple stuff. Anniversary copy of a Rickenbacker 4003 with a toaster pickup at the neck and a Seymour Duncan pickup at the bridge. Has a proper stereo jack like the real deal. The truss rod cover is a home made affair (original included) but its a good'n and would look great if someone with a steady hand pained the Rickenbacker logo on it. Also comes with straplocks and a Gator hardcase. Soundwise, it does come rather close to a Rickenbacker although soloing the toaster pickup can give you sounds close to a Precision bass. There is a noticeable volume cut when both pickups are at the same volume but this is something I've seen in a lot of basses. Currently its strung with some standard gauge Rotosound 77s (flatwounds) which were brand new this morning (before the fateful run in with the cash machine...) It has a set neck rather than being neck through and the fingerboard is matt rosewood rather than gloss [whatever they use on real Ricks]. The condition is good. Certainly not brand new though, there is wear on the back of the neck (considering its a painted neck I was actually grateful for this as it isn't sticky any more) and a few scratches I couldn't pick up on the camera. Settled on the price of £350 + pp. Considering the upgraded and goodies I think this is a good price. I wouldn't mind a p/x deal too but I need around £150 to come my way. I'm after stuff like Squiers, Ibanezes, Yamahas, etc. I prefer bigger bodies and bigger necks but I'm not too picky. I will post anywhere at buyer's expense with the case locked and the inside heavily padded. Pickup from Morecambe (NW) is fine too. Offers, anyone? Edit: I don't have the original pickups. Edit 2: [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vDqpx3cvh18"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vDqpx3cvh18[/url] Video of me playing the bass, not so great sound quality. Edit 3: When I mentioned Squiers, I didn't mean just them. I mean all basses of a similar quality to them. Edit 4: If I manage to get a straight sale with my Spector I may be up for a full swap but most likely I'll want to keep this.
