Rickenbacker 4001 Azureglo

 

Cool vintage Rick in a scarce Azureglo. The serial number dates it back to 1974. It seems that 2 tuners have been replaced, as they have less patina than the other two. Otherwise they look the same to me.

The neck has had the infamous cracks which a lot of 4001s have suffered, due to incorrect truss rod adjustment. This has been repaired many years ago and stable since (though it could be finished better with a matching color lacquer). The neck is straight and allows a lovely low action. The truss rods are functional too.

Otherwise the bass has a lot of cosmetic damages and lacquer checking.

 

The playability is just great. Like said the neck is straight and allows a nice low action. The sound is like you expect from a good Rick. Weight is 4,18kg on my kitchen scale.

 

Asking €2.750

 

I'm located in the Netherlands, but I am happy to ship at buyers risk and expense.

 

I am also interested in trading for a 1965 or older jazz bas(max 4kg, Brazil fretboard & clay dots). Refinish or some minor parts exchange aren't a dealbreaker.
