FS: 2004 Midnight Blue Rickenbacker 4003-HSC, New Strings, and Strap: $1300 shipped!

Sign in to disble this ad
Would like to move this here and soon, so I'm gonna drop the price another 50 dollars. If I can't get 1300 here, I'll have to go to Ebay.

Up for grabs is a really cool bass. I've always wanted to try a Ric and was finally able to buy one. However, It's not my style. I bought this locally from the original owner. The original owner is a good friend of mine and only decided to sell it because he has switched to 6 string basses.

The bass is all original and is in good condition. It has been played and used but not abused at all! I tried to show any cosmetic imperfections that it may have in the pics. The bass isn't a closet queen, but she's still in good shape.

Comes with a hardshell case, a nice blue leather strap, and a new/unused set of Ernie ball strings. The bass has no problems and everything works as it should.

I see a ton of fireglo and jetglo Rics, but I think midnight blue is a little more rare.

Check the pics out and let me know if you want her.

Outdoors:













I paid 1400 for it from my friend. I would like $1300 shipped for it the strap, the case, and the new strings (yes, I am losing money).
Pm me with any questions you might have. Not looking for trades at all.

OMG what a deal. If I didn't already own three, and if I had 1300 just sitting around, this would be gone.

Any chance you can hold off on the 'Bay for a day or two? I would bet my entire bass collection there is a TB brother or sister who will take this off your hands at that price.

If I had the money it would be on its way to me. The Ric is the only bass I like in blue. Beautiful.

Based on this info I just received, I would say that the neck is more "Pish" than "Jish" in nature. Not as chunky as P's that I've played but def. not as thin as most J necks either.
