First of all please forgive me if my english is not the best. I'm from Spain.
I have an awesome Rickenbacker 360/12 fireglo from 1966, 100 % original. I'm a big fan of 60's sound but mainly a bass player, so I'm pretty sure anyone will enjoy this beauty more than me.
I'm looking for classic 4 strings basses as a swap or trade adjusting differences in value:
In my wishing list are any Sadowsky NYC or Metro UV70 with VTC, CS Fender Jazz or Precision.
Any other "classic" bass could be considered, why not.
If you prefer a straight deal make me a fair offer and it's yours.

This is the second Harrison 360/12 that retired his first trendsetting old style Rickenbacker 12 strings (knows today as 12/C63) given by Ric CEO F.C Hall a year and a half before.
Take a look at Gruhn's Guide To Vintage Guitars book or Ric specialist frettedamericana.com for an appraisement of a '65-'66 Rickenbacker 360/12: Between 6000 to 10,000 USD depends condition + shipping + customs taxes to Europe.

Well used but not abused vintage Ric. 100% original right down to the solder joints, no cracks, breaks, mods, routings, refrets, rewounds or other issues.
Set up with a 6 strings Rickenbacker tuners years ago, but now has back again it's original 12 strings '66 ones.
Frets have a lot of life, straight neck, truss rod works flawless, low action.
Only issues are some wear on upper bout and two portions of binding fretboard replaced as is usal in vintage Rics, no big deal, really.
Comes with his original vintage silver tolex hard case in rough but perfectly functional condition.
Recently adjusted by our luthier: Perfect tunning and set-up with fresh Pyramid Flatwound strings.
The original toasters sounds huge and the guitar has that amazing jangle, resonance and sustain that can only come from a vintage x-bracing Rickenbacker from the golden era.
Sounds absolutely Terrific!
A great player with a great vibe and tone for days!
Iconic and timeless, classic and highly collectable vintage guitar.
