    2018 Noir bass, excellent condition, minimal play, hipshot bridge , bass has a few small flaws typical of Rickenbacker's quality control, on the back at the wing / neck joint the finish has shrunk and you can see the indentation of the seam (cosmetic see pic) and by the bridge there is a small spot where the clear has bubbled (see pic, finish is stable and is not flaking or peeling ) , excellent otherwise, original case succumb to the broken feet syndrome so it has a near new Roadrunner hardshell that is sturdier. Includes case candy, I do not have the OEM bridge


    Only trades considered are USA B.C. Rich or other Rickenbackers

    Would you say the hipshot bridge covered the finish flaking better than the original bridge?

    It's not really flaking , what I think happened is tightening down the hipshot caused it to bubble , I tried to smooth it back down with my finger but its solid, I think with a heat gun it could be smoothed back down but I'm not going to mess with it

    But does the hipshot cover it better than the original bridge?

    The hipshot has a bigger footprint so I would say yes

  6. That's a really nice bass! I'm usually drawn to the Walnut Rickenbackers. This Noir finish looks great!

    thanks, don't think I mentioned it but only 15 were made last year for Sweet Water, they had a few other runs of these in the past but total there are only about 60 of them in the world

  9. You sure do come across a lot of Rics. The 70 I bought from you is my main player.

    I do a lot of wheeling and dealing for sure

    Glad you're still enjoying that 70'!
