1994 US Ernie Ball Musicman Sterling Bass in Mint Condition With Original Case

Absurdly rare, these 60s rickenbacker 4001 basses are some of the most sought after instruments on the planet , and for a good reason.

Completely unmolested and inside the original case, this bass is something else.

Crushed pearl inlays, checkerboard binding , toaster pickup, horseshoe pickup, mono jack input , bigger headstock , reversed kluson tuners.

All features only available through the 60s and discontinued the following decade when production ramped up.

Apparently only 83 fireglo 68 4001 were produced and this is a perfect example of the craftmanship and attention to details of those days.

Phenomenal tone, great weight and really nice neck profile.

The original case has seen better days and has been over sprayed but it’s still there and that’s all it matters.

Partial trade alway welcome

Fender Jazz Bass made in 1973 in USA , with the fairly rare maple neck with ebony block inlays and binding.

All original beside a brass nut installed by a precious owner.

Neck is slim and super comfortable with a very low action and sustain for days.

Original case included and in great condition as well.

These early 70s JB are much more sought after than later ones because of the original 4 screw neckplate which is meant to add more sustain and stability to the instrument neck joint.

One of the nicest example from the first generation of the Fender Precision Bass. With a graciously aged butterscotch finish, it’s just perfection and plays beautifully as you would expect from one of these 51-54 Pbasses. Detlef Schmidt is the author of what’s considered the most accurate book about the first generation of the Precision Bass, he collected as many serial numbers as he could and this one is featured on his list. The neck has a great patina with the classic finish wear at the back, which is common to these early 40s and 50s Fender instruments. Flat head screw on tuners, neckplate and pick guard as supposed for these. Original covers still there and came with a tweed case that looks like may have been externally modified but looks all original inside, although is hard to confirm. Bass is completely original, with pots perfectly working as well as the black bobbin pickup and the original paper capacitor. It came in with a reissue pickup but the original 1954 black bobbin (which sounds amazing) was inside the tweed case and is now back with the bass and rest of the wiring is untouched. The finish has a gorgeous checking and looks like they patched a couple of extra screws holes (possibly a thumb rest) but they are barely noticeable. Bass is very light and resonant with an incredible sustain due to the string through the body. The pencil dates are unfortunately not legible anymore but the serial of this bass is present on the bridge and can be found on Detlef Schmidt’s book. These early models are becoming incredibly hard to come by and this one is a great example.

Here is the, the Holy Grail of Bass: the 1964 Fender Precision Bass.

This one is in unreal condition, making it a spectacular piece, either for players or collector.

All original down to the very last screw , comes with the rare original white tolex case, the 1964 leather strap and the original jack cable.

Original frets in amazing condition, action nice and low, all original electronic and solder joints untouched.

The pick guard shows no signs of shrinkage and the original bridge and pickup covers are still on.

Beside a mark on the side and a couple of tiny spots this bass is absolutely immaculate.

Here is your chance to own the rolls Royce of bass .

One of the nicest rickenbacker I have ever played , all original , light weight and an absolute stunner.

The checking on the finish is something no custom shop could ever replicate.

The neck is slim and action is slow with a superb playability. Classic Ricky thunderous tone with that clarity and growl typical of these instruments.

The original electronic works perfectly and the original hard case is in very nice condition with all the latches still fully functional.

One for the players and collectors.
