This is from the 80's I think. It is a 4001 copy (I think). Plays awsome, sound cool, looks cool.
As you can see it has the 4001 triangle markers, elepant ear style tuners, 2 single coil pickups (no buzzing) and is in near perfect condition. She is ready to go. I think it was made in China. Has a normal type Rickenbacker "Made in USA" truss rod cover complete with the MIA on it. Most clearly this is not a USA Ric, but it is a really good feeling copy.
I will have to measure the exact scale length. I will post more pictures as soon as I can.
$400 + shipping to the continental US... Overseas, let me know and I can get you a price. PayPal is ok, Money orders even better.

This is the Give a Bass to someone you love bump. Don't do it for yourself, think of your band and your wives or husbands, girlfriends or boyfriends that would be so proud of you for buying a new bass to help out the band.

Just to help ID this Rickenfaker, this one 'Rick' looks like one of the cheap Chinese rip-off's from tradetang.com and dhgate.com that you can get for $200-$300, not an 80's copy. Set-neck and all...

How does it play and sound anyway? Just curious.

a usa rick truss rod cover is worth a hundred to someone

Well, I picked this one up from a music go round in Texas or something like that. I am not sure about the origin from before that. I don't know if the Truss Rod cover is a fake or not. It only has 1 screw in it and I think that the real things have 3 screws.
