Rickenbacker 4080 Bass/Guitar Doubleneck

[DBCrocky]

SOLD SOLD SOLD!!!

Ok here goes...

For Sale or Trade: 1980 Rickenbacker 4080 Doubleneck: (Serial # TF2169)

I bought this instrument in 1999 because I was in a prog rock band. Well the band didn't work out and it's been sitting in it's case in my closet for 10 years. It is all-original and in very good condition, but not mint condition. The minor scratches/nicks are shown in the pics below.

Asking Price: $5000.00

Willing to consider for trade or trade + cash

Alembic 5 string (but not an Epic)
Pre-Gibson Tobias 5 string
Modulus Q5 (but with Barts, not with EMG's)
Willing to consider other playable 5 strings if they strike my fancy.
A Rickenbacker 4003 converted into a 5 string (if there happens to be anyone around who does that sort of thing )

Here are the pics:













Here are the disclosures:

There are some very small scratches on the back of the necks and guitar headstock:


There is a small nick on the side, didn't get this one too good in the pic:


There are some small nicks on the top of the bass headstock:


There is some corrosion on the screws on the guitar bridge:


There are also some very slight scratches on the back, too small to get in a picture

Also, the "Rickosound" lettering on the jack plate is partially rubbed off.


Here it is in the hardshell case. I am not sure if it is the original case, but I think it could be...





Let me know if you have any questions. Thanks for looking!

I love the burgundy 4080 with the black pickguard.

Double Trouble!! I've never seen one of these. Awsome. If only I could justify possession of this double headed dragon.

I think I might have just sex wee'd a little.

[Jaymi]

Have to figure out what I have to get rid of...

[Mulebagger]

double neck bump

[rushphile]

Killer axe and more low end than a normal Rick due to body mass.Killer price as well.

Here's one in action ...

If you keep posting videos like that, you're gonna make me change my mind about selling it...

I believe it's the same electronics you'd find in a 480, which is why the instrument is a 4080.

If I was rich/not a broke student I would be all over this.

[Snakepit72]

Got one of those on a poster on my wall in the hands of Mr. Geddy Lee!!! Looks awesome, would love to try one out one day, trust me if I had the $$$ I'd be all over this thing!! Good luck with the sale!

OK, can you just hold on for about 18 months? I will be out of my maintenance/child support agreement then and I'd gladly drop several months' worth of salary on this. Holy cow you are making me sick with jealousy. That is a gorgeous instrument, would NICELY complement my FG 4001, and I have ALWAYS wanted one of these.

Gawd, I'm going to go curl up in a fetal position and cry for a little bit. Then I'm going to try to figure out how to score $5k real fast -- without breaking the law, of course.

Sale made pending payment.
