for sale on evilBay custom painted silver sparkle Rickenbacker 4001 from 1972
:omg:

I really, really, really would love to collect the money from my other gear and score that... but they clearly were not keen to sell it for 1900.00 USD and relisted it, for 2500.00 USD. Mad money.

Hubba hubba hello. That is an awesome piece of kit man. Too bad they jacked up the price.

Yeah, this is one striking 4001 :love:

...too bad the price tag went over the 2000.00 USD (plus shipping, VAT and all :eek:

), but... I couldn't really afford even the average used Ric price unless I sold my neighbors car perhaps :idea:

(now that's an idea). This baby just wanted me to be irresponsible.

The binding looks like a fake. the finish is cool but I think they fucked up a beautiful instrument and there is no way its worth $2500...to me at least :idk:

I dig it. At least from the front.

If that thing could talk it would say "hello ladies" in a suave voice.

Yeah, funny how the whites have been discontinued. I've wondered that too. But... who misses the white ones when You can have a black one.

Besides they have discontinued the 8 string basses, too, before they even made it to wider production. THAT'S a fucking shame shame shame :no:

Rickenbacker pup sounds are MADE for eight strings.

And everyone seems to want/have a Jetglow one.
Really for me the blue ones are the shit! And I like them in blue BEFORE FLCL! But now due to FLCL the fucking things are a G more then all the other colors :picard:

Still Bug is sexy too

And yeah always wanted to try a 8 string one.

I'm always drooling after the old ones with black parts on old maple finish. Like the one with Iron Cross that Lemmy used. I never liked how they were changed that to the opposite flavor.

Ewwww.

I really want a white one but I think other finishes look stupid except for natural, have they really discontinued white? That's insane.

If more people bought, ordered them in white then... Personally I'm not a fan of them in white, or burst, inless it's blueburst which transcends all.

They stopped doing them with black adornments in the early 90's.
