Lefty Rickenbacker 4004 Cheyenne II

fishdds · #1 11-08-2011, 02:34 PM

Just in time for the holidays! For sale is a 1999 Rickenbacker Cheyenne II mapleglo; tung oil finish, quilted maple top, bubinga fingerboard, maple neck through with walnut body and headstock wings. Dual truss rods. 2 Original Rickenbacker humbucking pickups. Gold hardware. Everything original except Schaller straplocks installed (original strap knobs included). Original gray Rickenbacker hardshell case with blue interior. (locking case with key included) Overall in excellent condition. Two very small indents/scratches at E string side of bridge pickup, some very minor scratching on back and bottom from belt and such(you have to get REALLY close to see it - hard to notice even in close picture) A little of the gold plating is worn where my thumb rested on the pickups. Case has a few blemishes in the tolex. Plays and sounds great. I never expected to sell this bass, and I'm only selling it because I'm having a Roscoe built from a tree I used to play in when I was younger, and I have to make room (and pay for it...) Obviously these are rare, especially lefty models and not made anymore. $2000 + Buyer pays shipping. PICS:

Almost worth learning to play lefty.

Beauty and local! Too bad I'm a righty.

Any lefties on here want some Rickenbacker sweetness? I think I could have sold this bass a few times already if it was right handed. Shortly after I got this bass in 1999, someone emailed me that if I ever wanted to sell it, he had dibs on it. Unfortunately, that was my old email address, and I can't find that email now...
Will list on ebay tomorrow.

Those oil finished 4004 cheyenne basses have an incredible wood tone to them.

I wired mine volume, volume, tone. That really brought out the nice tones out of that bass.

If that were a righty bass I would have bought it and I would already be playing it right now.

If it doesn't sell here try ebay ... that may reach more people ...

A lefty Rickenbacker lover surely can't pass that bass up.

Well, I was going to list on ebay, but the almost 10% fee made me want to give it a little more time here. Last time I sold something on ebay, it was like 2 or 3%!

I am tempted to buy it just to hang it on my wall and look at it ... damn that bass is beautiful.

That bass makes me wish I were a lefty ...

Ditto. As a lefty in writing and eating it makes me want to learn how to play lefty. That tempting!

Absolutely stunning. Bump from fellow lefty.
