geofio Posted May 15, 2012 Share Posted May 15, 2012 (edited) hi guys, up for sale is my last 4003, the bass has just had a full service and set up, this rickenbacker is a special sounding bass no issues with duff E strings etc, it really has got the ric tone, if your looking for the geddy lee type sounding ric, this is it, i have owned way to many of these and out of all the rickenbackers i have had this one has just awesome tone and a great a player, i recently tried 8 brand new 4003,s in a shop and not one of them could touch this bass for tone, every single string rings like a piano, the way they should be sounding!!! dont know whats going on with the new rics, they just dont sound like they should. it also comes with a brand new rickenbacker hard case. i am asking a high price, but the tone alone justifies that price. there is slight buckle rash on the rear but has to be held in a certain light to see it, the rest of the bass is spot on no chips on the headstock etc, which is amazing for a 13 year old bass. £1300 plus £20 shipping i have a rickenbacker shipping carton. george 01294 604281 i will get more detailed pics up as soon as poss.

vax2002 Posted May 15, 2012 Share Posted May 15, 2012 1999 -2002 Ricks were in my opinion the best ever made, they had lots of time, orders were slack, they took their time on each instrument. Lift the pick guard and they are carved, not chopped out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chrismuzz Posted May 21, 2012 Share Posted May 21, 2012 Bump for a sexy bass! Just curious, how many Rics have you got left, and are they all keepers now dude? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geofio Posted May 22, 2012 Author Share Posted May 22, 2012 hi chrismuzz, thats the last of them now mate, i had a few from previous years, i dont gig now and there is no point in rickenbacker,s sitting in a house doing nothing!! these basses should be played. this is the last one now, no more left lol, this bass just sounds amazing, you have to play it to appreciate how good it is, i had about 3 new ones they just didn,t sound that good to be honest, if i was in the market to buy a ric, i would not buy a new one , they look nice, but don,t have the tone in my opinion. cheers george Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrismuzz Posted May 22, 2012 Share Posted May 22, 2012 Very noble George! I would have to keep at least one! Well good luck with the sale dude and I hope it makes someone VERY happy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
