Rickenbacker 4003 1998 £1975 Bolton

[Pow_22]

Rickenbacker 4003 from what I believe is 1998.  Bought very recently from bassbros but to be completely honest (and I do this a lot) whenever I buy a ‘bucket list’ bass I always find my way back to P basses.

 

The recent I went for this specific one is it has a really warm fireglo.  Some look very bleached in the middle but this is lovely and vintage looking.  It has had a full set up at PSG Guitars in Radcliffe where it was fitted with my favourite Elites Groundwound strings.

What comes with the bass:-

 

·         Original Ric hardcase with keys

·         Bridge pickup bezel with thumbrest

·         Zero Mod clear thumbrest as per pics

·         Neck pickup cover

Currently has Loxx strap locks fitted, can leave on and give you the strap fittings too or I can switch out for plain strap buttons.

 

Ive tried to love this bass, I really have.  It looks stunning and some evenings it sits on its stand and I just stare at it J.  However, as per when ive bought Spectors, Burns, Warwicks etc in the past its only really Fender P’s that feel right in my hands – to this affect im going after something late 70’s fender P – black/black/maple would be ideal but the search continues.

 

Condition – its played and is absolutely not a case queen.  There is buckle rash to the back, several dings on the sides which ill try my best to picture and a few small knocks.  Ive highly recommend coming to play and view this in person.  Im also willing to travel for the right deal.

Im looking to recoup close to my initial outlay (ignoring the set up, strings, zero mod etc) if at all possible but im very conscious of the current climate so serious enquiries and offers would be cosindered.

 

Trades – as mention I like vintage P’s (late 70’s blacks with maple boards) J’s are a constant tease to me also.  Not into 5 strings, actives or anything other than standard Fender thigs to be honest (I know im boring).  Location is Bolton, Greater Manchester
