For your perusal and contemplation - a Rickenbacker 4001 c64 with Alembic pickups. I bought the body stripped of electronics and had a local luthier install Alembic bass pups and electronics. The bass sounds great. You can dial in a wide variety of tones so it is more flexible than my standard 4003. I am offering the bass because i cannot get comfortable with the neck. If it doesn't sell, I'll ponder getting the neck shaved. The body has some wear and a couple of flaws, most notably two lines on the face near the pots which appear to be under the finish. As well, thre are a couple of very modest nicks on the head and one on the lower bout. The silver hardcase also has a mark or two. Happy to email a more complete set of photos. I will offer it at a loss for $2100 shipped in the US. (I could be tempted by a Guild M-85) Thanks.
