Description
What makes this bass special: 100% original with a super cool, well-played, true vintage look! This was obviously someone's go-to bass as evidenced by all the wear & tear it's sustained over the years - totally bad ass! Low action & killer tone ensure this beast will live on in the hands of its next owner. Don't miss out on great opportunity to pick up a piece of Rickenbacker history.
Cosmetic Condition: Lots of good honest play wear from years of being on the road - various nicks, chips, dents & dings; surface scratches, buckle rash, weather checking & finish wear, particularly on the back of the body & neck. The bass has a great vibe to it & shows off a gorgeous patina.
Neck: Slender profile maple & walnut neck with nicely aged cream binding & black side-dots. Beautiful rosewood fingerboard with mother of pearl "shark tooth" inlays. Frets show some light wear, but have plenty of life in them. Open-back nickel tuners are in perfect working condition. 1 11/16" nut width; 33 1/4" scale length.
Body: Neck-thru design with solid maple wings. Top-loading bridge with adjustable saddles. Single-ply white plexi pickguard. Bass weighs 8 lbs 11.9 oz.
Pickups: Rickenbacker Hi Gain single coils. Dual volume & tone controls with 3-way toggle switch; mono & stereo outputs. All electronics are in good working condition.
Case: Rickenbacker hardshell case included, however, for some reason a previous owner glued a Fender logo to the outside of the case. Go figure.
