MikeBass Posted November 9 Share Posted November 9 (edited) due to not having done a gig for two years now - and having no inlination to do any - I guess I can say I'm retired from gigs now so, it's time to let go of a few of my basses. also for sale on this site are: Musicm`n Stingray 1989 Chowny SWB-1 short scale bass Markbass tube head Markbass transporter 2x10. 1980 Rickenbacker 4001 Fireglo. All original, except for a couple of the screws/washers for the machine heads Near mint condition for a 44 year old bass. Currently strung with round wound strings but can supply the flats that came with it too. Selling because am not planning to do any more live gigs. Hard Case is slightly tatty but closes fine, no key. Some tarnishing on the tuner heads and a bit of rust on the input jack but all other metal parts are pristine. Serial number TK4667 dates it to November 1980. Neck is straight, action is great Everything works as it should, including the Rick-o-Sound stereo outputs. I'm not desperate to sell quickly, but will negotiate if you have a very close offer in mind. Would rather not post, but can do that fully insured and packed up tight in the hard case. Happy to deliver/meet within about 30 miles. prefer pick up or meet up but can ship, at buyer's expense, in case and I have a box. can be tried out with my MB rig (unless it sells first) Any questions please ask.

binky_bass Posted November 9 Share Posted November 9 This is the exact spec of Rickenbacker I'd want if I wanted a Rickenbacker, which I kind of do, but also don't... I've always wanted one in this spec for many years but know that I'd never really play it as I'm firmly a 6 string bass man. Absolutely lovely though... If I had the spare funds I'd buy it just to scratch the itch! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeBass Posted November 9 Author Share Posted November 9 It was an itch I had for years. I had a black and then a maple 4001. Always wanted a fireglo though. Look fabulous but… now I’m not gigging and looking to free up room space so….. itch scratched, time to move on. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vinorange Posted November 10 Share Posted November 10 Beautiful bass. I’ve got a 1980 Jetglo and they have the snarl that the later ones don't. I’d never sell mine but glwts. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
