Rickenbacker 4001 V63 Jetglow £2475 Hull

[probonopublico]

This is the next part of the wind down and realisation that I will not be Bruce Foxton, Chris Squire or Geddy Lee.  It was purchased from Bass Bros in August last year whilst mourning the sale of my Fireglow 4003.  The production of these basses began in the ’80s and the V63 is the forerunner to the C64. This bass dates from 2000.  It was based on the 4001S basses used by McCartney and Chris Squire, and features no binding, dot inlays, a toaster neck pickup and horseshoe bridge pickup.

 

This bass is in great overall condition although it has a couple of dings on the lower bout and headstock which I have captured on the photos. Original hardcase included.  It plays great and is currently wearing a new set of Rotosound round wound.  It came with a set of flat wounds which I’ll include.  It’s not been gigged or taken it to a rehearsal since I acquired it and it’s never left my music room.  It has the original silver Rickenbacker case with keys.  It weighs 9.7lbs. The price includes mainland UK delivery.  This will see my collection down to 2 basses.
