FS/FT: 1988 Rickenbacker 4003 Jetglo w/OHSC

Substandard · #1 10-03-2011, 04:39 PM

Up for sale is my beautiful Rickenbacker 4003 in jetglo. The bass is super nice and plays and sounds incredible! I need a new bass amp otherwise it'd stay with me.

I'm looking for $~~1500~~ $1350 shipped in the conus. I am looking for an Orange BT500 and SP212 if anyone wants to trade.

Will also trade for a fEarful 15/6/1 + $550

Included are:
Bass
Original Hardshell Case
Treble pickup cover
Original white pickguard
Replacement year correct authentic black pickguard
Treble pickup surround

The electronics and hardware are 100% stock. This bass plays amazing and has the sweetest action and tone.

The catch: A previous owner had this professionally refretted and the finish taken off the fingerboard. It feels super awesome this way. The neck is straight as an arrow the action is smooth.

Do both the truss rods turn/work proper???

They most certainly do!

Pending deal but nothing confirmed yet!

Thanks for looking everybody! I'm going to miss this one, but man's gotta do and all that jazz.

I have a 74 that was re-fretted that way. No one to blame but myself for that one. It was suggested by the guys at Rudy's in NYC. Actually no regrets on the lack of finish on the neck at all and I've had other players who have tried it say they like it better that way.

Any pics of the whole bass- front and back?

Behold, your requested images:
EDIt: Will fix images. Bandwidth.

yum

any lines you see on the neck are just dust or reflections. there is no wear on the neck or any bucklerash on the back of the body.
