Limited Edition Pillar Box Red Rickenbacker 4003s. Mint condition with original case and all tags. One of 25 made for the Uk market. - *WITHDRAWN* £2200 Wirral

[vinorange]

Up for sale is my 2019 Rickenbacker 4003s in limited edition pillar box red. Unusally for a Ric these came with a maple fretboard. Bass is near mint condition, set up nicely it plays great and sounds as only a Ric can. Apparently there were only 25 of these made for the Uk market so it is a bit of a rarity. It comes with the Ric certificate and all the tags too.

There are a few very tiny lacquer chips on the bottom edge. I couldn't really see them let alone photograph them but they are there somewhere. They are only the top coat of lacquer so not through the paint at all. The case has typical Ric case single foot damage but other than that the bass is mint condition.

Weighs in at 4.2kg on the kitchen scales and now can be seen in a better light with new pics - more than can be said for my grass.

I can take trades with cash my way. A skinny necked P would be nice and am always tempted by jazz basses.

 

Finally, I can travel to meet up but have a hernia op on the 27th Aug so am out of action for a few weeks after that.

I’m sorry to hear that, but it does prompt the question: how much does it (the Ric) weigh?

[vinorange]

It wasn't the Ric's fault. I got a nasty bout of food poisoning and as a result managed to acquire a double inguinal hernia.

 

The Ric is 4.2kg on the kitchen scales.

Those Ric cases always seem to break around the feet.

 

Great taste in basses, shame you have to sell. GLWTS.

Well since you mention it, having got the bass out and seen it in the sunlight again, I'm having severe 2nd thoughts. It's gorgeous. I'll see what happens but I think I'd be as happy to keep it.

I'm really sorry about that - apologies for my facetiousness.  I hope the op goes well and that you're back on your feet very soon after.

No problem at all. Thanks for the well wishes!
