2021 Ricky 4003S jetglo, vgc - *WITHDRAWN* £1850 London

[Clarky]

Bought new from BassDirect in January 2022, its a 2021 edition 4003S (meaning vintage style knobs and unvarnished fretboard) in almost flawless jetglo. Its still in exceptional condition: if I am being picky there are a couple of tiny, basically unphotographable (its a word) shallow indentations/blips in the finish, otherwise it looks brand new. Also, for full disclosure, the jack socket is quite tight so the bass lead needs to be pushed in quite hard to 'click' or remove (simple 2 minute fix to ease spring for those who are inclined, I couldn't be bothered as it works fine and actually made me feel more secure when playing.)

 

Weighs 4.2kg/9.4 pounds

 

Will be sold with original hard shell case plus a Rickysounds pickup surround bezel (£45) which I have never got around to fitting, for those who don't want the chrome pickup cover (seemingly the vast majority).

 

My all-in cost was a fraction under £2150 including bezel surround. New prices now seem to be £2250-2499. So £1850 including bezel seems a decent price to me, excluding postage.

 

Pickup from SW13 London preferred (south of Hammersmith Bridge) but will post within the UK using UPS at cost (probably around £30). No non-UK sales, sorry.

 

No trades thanks. Reason for sale is, though its cool AF, I am more comfortable with an FSO (Fender-shaped object).

On reflection, I am going to persevere with this bass and maybe fit the bezel to see if I can bond with it.
