This gives you plenty of sustain and tone.  If you want a punchy and powerful bass, a Rickenbacker 4001 is it.  There's a reason that Lemmy, Geddy and Geezer rocked one - not to mention players as diverse as Paul McCartney, Cliff Burton and Rick James all did as well.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 4001 comes with two different pickup designs, a \u003cspan\u003e\"toaster pickup\" in the neck with a larger bridge pickup mounted on a metal plate. The neck features a sleek gloss with a slim profile with a gloss fingerboard with its distinct triangular inlays. There are individual volume and tone controls for each pickup with a 3-way selector. You also get a high mass bridge that gives you excellent sustain and tone.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eHere we have a rather special one, in Azureglo.  This is a super cool color and hard to find - what we have hear is a rarely seen beast of a bass.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThis bass is in good condition and with an extra flavor in the form of honest player wear.  Some pay extra for a new instrument made to look old.  Here's one that isn' too old (45 isn't all that old, right?) but it has the natural wear that one may excpect for a bass that was put to good use.  See photos for a details.  It's all original, other than the pickguard - it came to us with a cracked one, so we made a new one here in our shop.  \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eIt comes complete with the original hardshell case (tagged for \"Avi\"), as well as the pickup cover.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eIt's been setup to play perfectly by the techs in our shop and is a great find for anyone that appreciates rare Rickenbackers like this!\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSerial Number: TB356\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rickenbacker","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47638493593843,"sku":"58RIC002","price":3999.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0789\/2433\/files\/1-Img28971.jpg?v=1755105859","url":"https:\/\/www.truetonemusic.mom\/products\/vintage-1980-rickenbacker-4001-bass-azureglo-with-ohsc","provider":"Truetone Music","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
