SOLD Rickenbacker 4001 V63 RI, with original silver case SOLD (subject to usual) £1500

[johnbiffa]

A rare opportunity to get one of the most prized Rics, made in 1999 and the V63 was discontinued early in the new Millenium.

This has been owned by a number of BCers and is an outstanding bass which has been relegated to its case following the acquisition of my Celinder Jazz bass which covers all my needs (apart from my Gibson EB3's)

Compared with both my previously owned 4001 and my 4003 this bass really does feel like an authentically old instrument.

It also has a lovely neck. with dot markers and the only issue are the two small dinks in the back of the neck which have become part of the feel as opposed to a problem.

The sounds are typical Ric due to the Toaster and Horseshoe pick ups and the bass is mono only.

Case is also immaculate and hardly used as I transport my basses in Mono gig bags.

£1400 to include delivery dowm A1/M1 corridor, NW, NE and WM and elsewher meet or courier at buyers expense.

These basses go for much more in US so chance for a bargain to a luck BCer

Photos lifted from Beedsters advert so hope he doesn't mind.

Collection/try out in E Yorkshire welcome

That's very, very nice. If I didn't have to lose my shirt selling a 4004Cii to acquire it then, well, I'd acquire it.

And you are so close.............geographically speaking !

I had one of these. Amazing Rics.

Great price. Good luck mate.

[johnbiffa]

Thank you, it is fantastic and I cannot see point of just owning it, it should be gigged as intended !

It will be a sad day but someone needs to use it regularly !
