If you want to be a closet Cliff Burton or Paul Macca/Geddy/Chris Squire, this is the one you want....There is a lot of history in this bass and it is a real player. Early 79 Burgundyglo....try to find this color....it is difficult--ESPECIALLY at this price....
It has gone from death to life since I have had it. When I got it:
the pickups were dead---they are brand new now
all of the wiring was cooked---all rewired correctly
Bada$$ I bridge--left it because it makes the bass come alive and tightens up the sound
Original P/G was mangled---found another one very close, holes are slightly off
tuners were shot--has brand new Rickenbacker tuners on it
OG hard shell case comes with it. slight crack where the body had been routed for the bada$$....has not moved or opened.
Could use a level job on the frets and maybe a new setup since I have it tweaked for me...strings ride pretty low but buzz because that is how I play...Considering the prices of Ricks and the shape this thing is in, $1300 shipped in the CONUS
My only reason for selling, there is a Rick that I have seen before and it is available to me and I don't want it to go away again.....

(Don't ask about the painted one...it stays here with me!!!!)
