After a protracted battle with FedEx my rare 1971 Shaftesbury 3263 is in my hands. Based on the Rickenbacker 330, this bass and a matching 6 & 12-string guitars were made from 1969-73, originally in Japan but production quickly moved to Eko in Italy.
Shaftesbury was a house brand for Rose Morris Music, the original Rickenbacker dealer in the UK, located on London on Shaftesbury St at the time.
This one is semi hollow, short scale, bolt on neck. Plays and sounds wonderful!
