New 4001v63

Post by Len »

Well, new to me anyway. I saw a Rickenbacker bass on Craigslist this week. It was listed for more than two weeks but still available. Probably because it was a 3.5 hour drive from Atlanta to pick it up. It's a pretty sweet bass, an 85 MG that is ambered beautifully. Very little wear, a couple of dings, but I think it has spent most of it's like in the case. I just checked the horseshoe and it is magnetized. Woohoo. I'll get it registered tomorrow.

Even sweeter! My max is 41 mm. Above that they all eventually had to leave. I guess you are not ready to sell yet are you? ;-)
