A 1978 Rickenbacker 4001 in Mapleglo (natural) finish is a highly sought-after vintage bass, characterized by its neck-through-body maple construction, Rosewood fretboard with triangle inlays, and iconic bright, punchy tone. This era often features high-gain pickups, dual-volume/tone controls, and stereo (“Rick-O-Sound”) output. Expect a slim neck profile and significant natural sustain.
This 4001 play like butter, both truss rods are operational, the neck is straight and the action is low. This has a replaced wiring harness (originals included and fully functioning except for the TRS output jack) and as far as we can tell the rest is all original.
