Up for sale is my lovely Fireglow 4003 made in week 49 of 2001.

It is in excellent condition with just a couple of tiny marks that I have tried to show in the photos.

Currently fitted with D,Addario chrome flats but a spare set of Ti flats is included, and also the Chrome pickup cover ( not shown in photos )
It is fitted with the Ricky straplocks and comes with a good quality Neotech strap.
You are more than welcome to come and try out this Classic bass.

Looking for offers around £1250.00.

Will.

Never had a Ric, what is the nut width and is the neck deep or sort of Jazz profile?

They vary massively from pencil thin to pretty chunky depending on year. The nut width is always wider than a Jazz though, although they're much slimmer up the dusty end. The neck is essentially pretty much the same width all the way up.

Absolutely +1 . Fireglow, love it, utterly iconic, Rickenbacker produce special colours (said to be 'limited editions') each year and because people and dealers see them as new 'collectibles', they ask silly prices, but they dont play any better. The Fireglow however, goes on and on. This is the classic colour that looks so spectacular on stage. (OK....rant over.....I just hate new collectables.....sorry ......I'll shut up now.....promise)

Nice to see it going for a very good price . Grab it while you can !

Bump for a Classic
