***TRADED *** Rickenbacker 4003 Walnutburst £1500

[dougal]

[size=5][font=arial, helvetica, sans-serif][color=#FF0000]***PENDING TRADE***[/color][/font][/size]

[size=4][font=arial, helvetica, sans-serif]Up for grabs is a mighty fine limited edition 4003 ric in walnutburst in as new condition. Seriously, there isn't a scratch on it.[/font][/size]

[font=arial, helvetica, sans-serif]The bass came to me from GeoFio ([url="http://basschat.co.uk/topic/197621-my-limited-edition-rickenbacker-4003-walnutburst/"]see his demo of it here[/url]). I've never had one before, and although I've tried them out in shops I've never owned one. It turns out we're just incompatible somehow: it just doesn't sit right on me.[/font]

[font=arial, helvetica, sans-serif]I'd prefer to sell for hard cash, but if you have something interesting along the lines of a super-p then hit me up. I can only politely decline. [/font]

Bass is in Egham. Or can be delivered to central London.

I will ship to the UK at the buyer's expense. If you're elsewhere in the world PM me and we can have a discussion.



Comes with hard case, truss rod tool and a spare bridge, all in a hard case.




I have a pickup surround fitted (from rickysounds.co.uk) which I'll leave on there.





It has the stereo output, and the pull pot for an extra sound option:

Oh, and if you've ever wondered what my house looks like reflected in a ricky bridge, wonder no longer.

I know George is looking for another 4003 - if the shape is an issue, you may wish to try his 4004 he's got for trade....I'm sure he'd love his Walnut bass back! [size=4] [/size]

[spongebob]

Did this trade come off? Both the cii and this are marked as traded!

I hope my magic fairy dust helped....... [size=4] [/size]
