The Windy Wirral

Up for sale is my immaculate 2005 Limited Edition Colour of the Year Blue Boy Rickenbacker 4003 Bass.

 

These were a limited run for 2004/05 and are, in my opinion, the prettiest of Rickenbacker basses. It plays great, sounds immense and comes in its original Rickenbacker hard shell case with all case candy. 

 

Additionally it has the added bonus of an upgraded aluminium Hipshot bridge and a bezel insert in the rear pickup (£200 of upgrades). The original bridge and the treble pickup cover are included in the sale.

 

It has one tiny chip on the headstock which has been filled with colour matched paint and if I didn't mention it you probably would never notice it. Other than that it is in immaculate condition and will benefit from a polish, fret polish and set up prior to being shipped.

 

I’m only selling as I finally got myself the bass I wanted from being 14; a Jetglo 4001. Quite why I waited 40 years is beyond me....

 

On shipping, I'm happy to ship anywhere and as it's a rare bass I can offer worldwide shipping.

 

As well as shipping, it can be viewed on the Wirral, I can drive to deliver within around 50 miles or can meet up.

 

Thanks for looking

The price is about the same as a new one (as opposed to another which someone has been trying to sell for £10k for a number of years) and the original bridge/tailpiece can easily be put back to bring it up to spec.

Sadly my lottery win this week was only £4.40, so I find myself a bit short of available funds to buy this.

Probably a lot of people here have been listing kidneys, children etc in the hope of buying this

 

This and the Racing green are my favourite Ric colours, glwts

I’m willing to take a decent kidney in part exchange!!!
