[size=6]Now traded, thanks Nico.[/size]

2010 Rickenbacker 4003 in Midnight Blue. Only the slightest usage marks on the front, frets in perfect condition. Includes original hard case, case candy, bridge pickup cover and the installed bridge pickup bezel.

Currently sports custom-made Dunlop security strap holders, which fit the original Schallers's screwholes perfectly (Schallers are included).

Mute foam, springs and screws are included, have only been removed because they got in the way when palm muting (actually, the empty mute cavity is perfect for palm muting, just place the palm there and you have perfect pressure).

The bass has been professionally shielded throughout with copper foil. The original input jacks were utter crap (would not correctly close contacts with, e.g., Neutrik connectors), they have now been replaced with solid ones. Therefore, Rick-o-Sound is done with two mono jacks, so you don't need a separate stereo cable to do stereo (just add a mono cable).

A great player, has the Vintage Tone Selector (bridge pickup bass cut or full range sound) and can really do much more than just being a one trick pony (I used it for Klezmer most of the time). I'm just not somebody to keep a bass forever, and I seem to have left the long-going 'vintage' phase and entered a more modernesque, boutiquish phase.

I'm looking for 1,734€ (£1500) / 1750€. I will gladly accept any trade offers, preferably modern 5 strings.
