mike.march Posted April 13, 2011 Posted April 13, 2011 (edited) Up for sale is my Ricky as I really don't use it as much as I should, and I need the funds to put towards a band van. Its a 1974 Rickenbacker 4001 in Burgundy Glow. Its in great condition, and has never been refinished. It has had a brass nut put on it, and also the bridge has been change (for a much better one in my opinion). But I did purchase a replacement rick bridge off ric parts so it will come with this aswell. Although the pickup cover is not in the pic. I do also have that as well. I will also provide a hard case with the Rick, but it is not the original. Pictures aren't great, but you get the idea This is a really nice example of a 70's 4001 with not a lot of fret wear, a great look and a great neck as well. Money wise I would be looking for about £1500 for it but I do need to sell, so make me an offer. I would consider trades for other gear, so let me know what you've got !

mike.march Posted April 14, 2011 Author Posted April 14, 2011 Yes I did get your message, I have just been slow on the replying front. Indeed a few weeks too late, but I bet you're still having fun with your 4003

Looks like Mike missed out on the quickest sale on BC
mike.march Posted April 17, 2011 Author Posted April 17, 2011 Yeap, unfortunately completely missed the boat on that one ! Fingers crossed somebody else will fall in love with it !
Stag Posted April 17, 2011 Posted April 17, 2011 My 4001 had a brass nut (and still does) on it when I got it about 10 years ago secondhand. That's today's fact for you all and a free bump for a bass I really should own!
mike.march Posted April 18, 2011 Author Posted April 18, 2011 No longer a feeler, and now open to more trades !
mike.march Posted April 21, 2011 Author Posted April 21, 2011 Thursday bump with some sunny new pictures to really bring out the glow !!

Godber Posted April 24, 2011 Posted April 24, 2011 Love this bass already Does the replacement bridge use the original existing holes?

There are two small holes that are slightly wider when you put a Rick bridge back on. Its a shame, but the changed bridge is much more playable in my opinion.
Godber Posted April 25, 2011 Posted April 25, 2011 That is a shame. Thanks for the quick answer though.
mike.march Posted April 29, 2011 Author Posted April 29, 2011 Now that's what a princess is supposed to look like...............type of BUMP !

SS73 Posted May 3, 2011 Posted May 3, 2011 That makes it and earlier 74, they only did the red markers for a brief period in 74 and then went back to black, so that's a bonus.
Cairobill Posted May 3, 2011 Posted May 3, 2011 I have a burgundyglo from a few years later and it is quite simply a beautiful, beautiful thing. I also discovered that Thomastik flats bring out the best in these basses.
mike.march Posted May 4, 2011 Author Posted May 4, 2011 Great bits of info guys, thanks Alas, I really don't give this bass the playing time I should as I love playing my Jazz Bass. If you're interested, please get in touch and make me an offer
mike.march Posted May 18, 2011 Author Posted May 18, 2011 Going to have to withdraw this for the minute. Thanks for the interest all the same
