Rickenbacker 4001 Azureglo (1974) €2.200 - *SOLD* £1900 Netherlands

[SurroundedByManatees]

Up for sale again:

 

 

Great old Rickenbacker 4001 in a gorgeous Azureglo finish.

 

The bass sounds great and has a very good playability with low action. Note that these older neck are way less chunky than a lot of modern Rics.

A long time ago the neck suffered a break (fretboard came loose partially, common issue with these oldies) which has been repaired and stable since. An area where paint chipped has been filled up with some darker blue lacquer.
Two of the tuners could be replaced as two other have aged differently. Otherwise they look the same.
Further there are all kind of small damages all around, some lacquer worn away on the back, and finish checking all over due to the age.

 

 

Technically the bass is in good condition. All hardware en electronics work like they should. The neck is straight, adjustable, and very stable.
A low action is possible with rounds and flats.
The bass weighs 4.18 kg on my kitchen scale.

At the moment she is fitted with Thomastik flats = great sound and playability.

Fixed price €2.200

I am located in the Netherlands. Pickup is preferred, but I'm willing to ship at buyers risk and expense.
