Jigster Posted July 20, 2010 Share Posted July 20, 2010 (edited) Hi all Here, as described above, is a rare breed of Rickenbacker that in terms of build quality lacks none of the class of its more famous 4000 series. This was bought from Bass Gallery for £750. In stunning midnight blue, it's a great player but the neck is too thin for me. It has MAHOOSIVE tone and thump - honest, it's got some proper welly. It's great played with a pick, but also responds well to fingers. Photos on this link [url="http://www.flickr.com/photos/49793253@N07/sets/72157624544143222/"]http://www.flickr.com/photos/49793253@N07/...57624544143222/[/url] This is what I know about it, but sure others may be able to say more: Maple body and neck, fully bound neck, padouk fingerboard, two single coil soap bar pups with switchable control and vol/tone for each pick up, double truss rod, pick up height adjuster through the back, premium tuners and internal circuit which provides, along with the superb action and brilliantly intonated bridge, ringing ringing sustain. 1984 - Introduced 1992 - Discontinued The fretboard is a joy to touch, waxed and so smooth (just too narrow for my liking) and the frets are in great condition. There are some obvious dings, but it is an 89 model so has some scars.

JMT3781 Posted July 20, 2010 Share Posted July 20, 2010 I played this bass when it was Amenra's, absolutely loved it, nearly had it off him in a swap with my genz benz rig. Ricky's really arn't for me, but that bass is great! good luck with the sale Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
