Hemibass Posted March 27, 2023 Share Posted March 27, 2023 Hi Basschat My dream bass has become available and it's time for me to raise some funds to buy it! Sadly this means I will have to sell my Rickenbacker, so here it is. I always wanted a Rickenbacker as a young bass player after I saw Geddy playing his on the Exit Stage Left dvd, and was lucky enough to save up and buy this one about 12 years ago (can't remember exactly when, but roughly that long ago). It's a really cool instrument, and is a totally iconic sound, but I have become much more of a Fender guy as I have gotten older and play this Ric a lot less than I used to. It's a 1978 4001 in Jetglo and I would say it's in very good condition for a bass this old. It was recently serviced at Charlie Chandlers guitar experience (around 6 months ago) and has only been played a few times since then for my Youtube covers. It stays in its hard shell case the remainder of the time, so has been very well looked after in its time with me. I've tried to get pictures of all the little chips etc to fairly represent the condition of the bass. Here is a video of me playing it on my channel so you can hear it in action: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MHnZH4vuuUY&ab_channel=Hemibass I've based the price on others I have found listed on various sites from similar years, but I'm very happy to negotiate (since there is a bass I want to get before it sells) so please feel free to send me any pms or offers if this is of interest to you. I would like to get the sale done as quickly as possible! Would really like to sell to a big Rickenbacker fanboy who will love the instrument the way it deserves, so if that's you, then please get in touch Thanks Hemi 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It deserves to be played a lot more than it is being played at the moment! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waddo Soqable Posted March 27, 2023 Share Posted March 27, 2023 Pretty much identical to the one I stupidly got rid of, and exactly the bass I'd buy.. ( but for the fact I have less than 50 quid in my bank account now ) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
