Body shows some general playwear, surface marks, dings, buckle rash, etc. but shows no major damage or issues and has just the right amount of character and vintage vibe. Neck shows some light marks but has no major damage or blemishes. Headstock shows some very light surface marks and some wear along the edges but is otherwise clean. A beautiful rosewood fretboard that remains in great shape. Frets show some light wear but overall are in good shape and have a good amount of life left in them. Hardware shows some light age but overall in very good shape for its age. Electronics work perfectly. Has the original set of pickups however the bridge pickup was DOA so we had it rewound by Tom Brantley (Geddy Lee's go-to guy for rewinds). Pickups sound phenomenal  and have all the wonderful growl and aggressive tone that can only be achieved by a Rickenbacker. This one is seriously incredible! Plays effortlessly and is undeniably gorgeous. Get your Chris Squire on with this beauty. Has been thoroughly and carefully inspected and set up by our tech and ready for a new home.

From the web:

The "S" suffix denotes the Special or Standard designation. Compared to the deluxe 4001, it features a rounded, unbound body edges that many players find more comfortable against their forearm. This specific stripped-down aesthetic was famously preferred by legendary bassists like Paul McCartney and Chris Squire, cementing its iconic "British Rock" legacy.

    Excellent glitter for fairy costume
    Glitter had staying power till morning. I used this the night before with my costume. It was a bit hard to get off. So in the morning it was still on me and in my hair for a doctor appointment. I am going to use it for Christmas because why not.
