Rickenbacker Tuxedo bass

A pristine example, mainly because it was just refinished and refretted by Jingle Jangle. Some wear around the pickup surrounds and on trussrod cover.

Beat up case. Looks like a Rick case but the fit is tight.

Looks sharp, sounds good.

Superbowl Special at $2100 shipped CONUS. Thanks.

(Canada possible)

NICE!!

That's beautiful.

Jaymi 02-03-2013 11:57 AM

was it too yellow or did the finish have issues to cause a refin?

Happy Face 02-03-2013 12:09 PM

Hey connoisseur af all things Rickenbacker. In this case it was stripped when I bought it. It was red for a while, but the finishing was not well done. So it went out to SF to get restored.

Jaymi 02-03-2013 12:18 PM

was this the one that Paul B had?

Happy Face 02-03-2013 12:26 PM

No. This journey started a few years earlier.

Jaymi 02-03-2013 12:46 PM

Ah...what number in the series does Ric say this one is?

SactoBass 02-03-2013 12:54 PM

What is the nut width on this one?

Happy Face 02-03-2013 01:02 PM

1 5/8" on the nut. (1 3/8 middle of E string to middle of G)

Dunno. March 1987 build date.

Jaymi 02-04-2013 07:27 PM

If you call Ric and give them the serial number, they will tell you it is # something of 115

Happy Face 02-04-2013 07:54 PM

Thanks Jaymi. I'll do so if I end up keeping it, which it looks like I will. (Why should you be the only one here with a black & a white?)

basser05 02-04-2013 08:05 PM

If I could, I wouldn't let u keep it! It's like I'm torturing myself with ur listing! I subscribed to it just so I could look at it and be sad when it's gone!!
