Repost: Rickenbacker 4003 and vintage G&L SB-2

[vegas532]

I just recently moved into a one bedroom apartment and space is really scarce, so a couple of my babies need to be sacrificed.

First up is a mint upgraded 2008 Rickenbacker 4003 with original hardshell case. I had Seymour Duncan replacement humbuckers and a Leo Quan BadassI bridge professionally installed. The custom cut pickguard is courtesy of pickguardian and it has a mounting plate installed along with the Badass bridge. If you prefer a more traditional look, I have a Hipshot replacement bridge that I'll throw into the deal. I no longer have the original pickups, but the push/pull pot is 100% functional with the Duncans. I have the original hardshell case, strap locks, and a Limited Edition Red Monkey strap with it. I'm seeking $1500 obo shipped in the continental US. For the record, I no longer have the original pickups or pickguard.





I also have a Hipshot replacement bridge that I'll send with it if you wish to go for a more traditional look.

I have an early 80's G&L First Edition SB-2 JJ. It is an Alder body with Maple fingerboard and those crisp, loud, and punchy MFD Single Coil pickups. I do need the cash but I adore this bass, therefore, I'm seeking $800 obo shipped in the Continental US. I have a Fender hardshell case and a Limited Edition Red Monkey strap and strap locks included.

bump for a fine looking Ric. Does that neck pick-up have enough room to rest your thumb? Thats been my only gripe with rics I have tried so far, as a finger picker.

[vegas532]

Indeed it does.

[Geddyfleaharris]

That Ric is bad -a$$! Wicked looking! I have the Hipshot bridge on my Jetglo but I like the looks of your bridge better.

[vegas532]

It's a much more functional bridge, too.

[vegas532]

G&L temporarily on hold for pending deal. Ricky is still available.

That Ric is so awesome looking, I showed the pic to my wife.
Now think about it; how many thousands of basses A person looks at online and "maybe" a dozen times have I said "Hey honey look at this bass".
If our family budget permitted I'd get her this for mother's day.
I did want to pass on info from our earlier discussion that the badass I is comfy and not jutting out as has been my experience with some basses and I've always hated that Ric mute bridge anyway.

My Ric would make a perfect Mother's Day gift, Sonny...whatcha waitin' for?

Do you still have the original (presumably white) pickguard and the chrome pickup cover?

I no longer have those.

[sanfordandsonny]

I was so bummed when I bought a ric with no cover and then special ordered one from the local store only to find out they're plastic WWLD! (What Would Lemmy Do?) a friend of mine has an extra cover if you buy his bass I'll mail you the cover (I owe him a favor)

[sanfordandsonny]

My reference to "him" being The Black Ric of Vegas FYI

Good karma shall be yours, Sonny.

[vegas532]

The G&L is sold...bump for the Ric.

[sanfordandsonny]

For about 10 years I've never had GAS (not counting amps cabs and effects) because I have the L-2000 now with this JJ SB-2 I now HAVE to get an El Toro, PJ SB-2 and a mahogany L2K or ASAT. Mannnnnnn overtime here I come.

[vegas532]
