That 4005 is as good as gone.
A Rickenbacker bass is much like the Jaguar E car - perennially ultra-fashionable.

Check out the Q&A...he knows it'll be pulled.

Whatta crude mess...

I have always wondered if the scatological appearance of a knock-off always portends odiferous tones of flatulence, or could it be this bass might actually produce some really good sounds despite appearances?

My opinion - you'd have to start off as a totally blind person to even give this one a fair audition....it's fugly Image

yep, and up to £600 with a lot of interest and questions. as i said earlier,this is a copy of manis bass from the stone roses and would therefore atract a lot of attention from mani wannabees.

CUSTOM MADE 4005 STLYE BASS

THE NECK IS FROM A IBENEZ BASS


Methinks this is a faker and not an abused 4005.
