FS: Rickenbacker 4003 Midnite Blue

[Geddyfleaharris]

Up for sale is my Midnite Blue Ric 4003. I bought it new in June 2007. It is in mint condition. As this is a spur of the moment sale I will check for any blemishes tonight and update if I find anything. I don't expect to. Has push/pull vintage switch. Comes with OHSC. I think it even has the case candy.

The bass has been on back up duty for most of the last 2 years so hasn't seen much action.

There was my first Ric in over 25 years so it's kind of my baby. I have one other 4003 that gets a lot of playing time and I recently bought a SR4 HH that is really getting a lot of playing time.

I am asking $1,600.00 US shipped in CONUS or Canada. Paypal is cool.

I will still consider EBMM HH styles on trade but that is a bit a long shot now as I bought a Sterling 5-er from a fellow TBer a couple of days ago.

Thanks for looking!

Just to confirm the condition - it is mint - not new. It has been played. There are no chips, paint damage or cracks. No buckle rash.

Bump for a fellow Winnipeger with a sweet bass that I can't afford! I feel bad that you have to unload it.

Thanks. I don't "have" to unload it but I am gassing for some other basses. I just bought an SR4 and if I showed up with something else before X-mas....well.....let's just say that X-mas might be lonely.

I'd hate to see you sell this thing. My 75 Jetglo Ric is just at the border and the wait is unbearable.

Winnipeg BUMP!

Very nice Rick. I like that color. How's the neck? Thin or thick? Two piece or single? Are the poles adjustable?

Thanks.

Thin or thick I guess is a matter of opinion. It is thicker than my 2009 SR4 but thinner than a 2004 Ric 4003 that I had. It is a neck-thru, not bolt on if that is what you are asking. Yes the poles are adjustable.

I have had a couple of inquiries about the weight - 9 lbs by my scale.

Is the neck the two piece construction like the ones currently being made? Or is it the single piece construction like they were making about a year ago? Last years, one piece construction was prety heafty. The current ones are thinner. Which one do you have?

Well I will check this out. I did not even realize there was a difference. I am thinking it is a 1 piece though just by the heft of it.

If I hadn't ordered one (same color) from MF back in October (yes, I'm still waiting for it) I would've bought yours.

Loooovve that color!!!

I visit yours every day, anticipating the arrival of mine!!
