1973 Rickenbacker 4000 - £2500 ovno
£2800
London

Recommended Posts

Bought a month or two ago on the forum. Beautiful and pretty rare, especially in this condition, but it's just that little bit too heavy for me and my knackered shoulder and back at a whisker under 9 pounds. Wearing brand new TI Flats, plays very well with nice low action and that Rick growl. Comes with Mono gigbag.

 

Collection from public space in SW13 (Barnes, south of perma closed Hammersmith Bridge) or courier delivery at cost.

 

No trades, sorry. The cash would come in handy for continuing medical bills and upcoming daughter's wedding!

A black 4000 was used in an advert for Wharfdale speakers in my dad’s ok “What Hi-Fi?” Magazines in the 90’s.

 

I cut the ads out and backed my school books with them (think there was a gretsch white falcon one too).

 

Always wanted one.

 

Alas…bank balance currently reads “NO BASSES”

 

Bloody gorgeous in it’s simplicity.

Nice, Love the simplicity, so the old question about Lemmy's original Ric... Already routed for a neck pickup i presume?. otherwise why the shape of the plate?

To rich for my blood.

No neck pickup rout on this one

Sensible near offers considered as I have spotted something I quite fancy, which would net-net release a decent amount of cash my way

 

Edit: I bought the other bass, so this needs to go

The neck-throughs had the rout; set-necks didn't.

Having recently bought a lovely, sub 8lb short-scale bass (Wilcock), this cool old Rick just doesn't sit as easily with my dodgy (post-horse accident) back and left hand, so back it goes FS. £2500 ovno including spendy Mono bag (~£200 on its own)

If anyone is potentially interested in this rarely-seen bass, please don't be shy and drop me a line. I could partly defray the cost via a p/x against a CIJ Mustang (not JMJ or US, I prefer a thin J neck width) which could serve as backup to my Wilcock????

Looks like this is either not floating people's boat or its a bit beyond their current CoL affected budgets.

 

So its a last bump from me before I let this advert drift slowly page after page into the further reaches of the BassChat for sale forum! Not withdrawing just in case someone searches for a bass like this at a later date
