This is tentative as this Rick was the product of a LONG search for a very light, skinny neck profile, well balanced 4001 and I adore it. However, I need a great sounding Fender for album recording work and I have to keep numbers down!

This is approx 8.5 pounds in weight, burgundyglo 1978 Rick 4001 in near perfect condition with OHSC. It was stored in its case for all it's life and is very, very mint. It is the perfect 4001. Great tone and feel. At the moment I have the pickup cover off and a pickup filler/thumbrest installed. It's strung with nickel wounds but sounds wonderful with Thomastik flats.

So...I am considering trading this lovely bass for one of the following. Weight has to be on the low side (around 9 pounds) and balance has to be good.

Fender Jazz. Custom shop etc
Fender P - esp A neck 70s.
Boutique J - e.g. Suhr, Celinder etc

Value is 1500 and money could be chipped each way.

I'm based in London and would prefer a meet.

Cheers

Nick
