Description
100% original with a super cool, true vintage vibe. Just recently acquired from the family of the original owner. Low action & killer tone ensure this beauty will live on in the hands of its next owner. Professionally set up & ready to play straight out of the case. Don't miss out on great opportunity to pick up a piece of Rickenbacker history.
Cosmetic Condition: Used, but not abused, with typical play wear for its age - various nicks, chips, dents & dings; scratches & some light finish wear. The white finish has aged rather beautifully over the years & mellowed into more of a cream color with nice variegation throughout. Overall the bass has a great look to it with a beautiful patina.
Neck: Rounded 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 binding. Top-loading bridge with adjustable saddles & single-ply black plexi pickguard. Bass weighs 9 lbs 5.2 oz.
Electronics: Rickenbacker Hi Gain single coils with original bridge pickup cover included. Dual volume & tone controls with 3-way toggle switch; mono & stereo outputs. Volume pots date to '75 & tone pots date to '76. All electronics are in good working condition.
