The bass has a few minor nicks and scratches as shown in the photos.
The hardshell case is solid but has wear as shown in the photos.
I bought this from a TB member a few months ago. Because of the height I wear basses, and the angle of my right hand (I play mostly fingerstyle)... the body edge binding ANNOYS my wrist. So this bass is in the identical condition as I received it, with maybe 20 minutes of playing time in my studio. This is about the tenth bound Rickenbacker I have acquired over the years and every time I have the same 'selective amnesia'. I love the style of these, but can't get over that one ergonomic issue.
Sound and playing action are excellent, so I have spent the past few months grappling with this but have regrettably decided to go with a smoother "Fender-style" instrument. (Even my 'Fender' instruments I have custom-made with more than usual "forearm contour" on the top...)
Anyway, my loss is your gain! This awesome and very unique bass will be yours for USD700 + actual shipping cost.
It will be professionally packed in our shipping office, and I can ship via whatever carrier you prefer. PM me for a shipping quote...
