81 lefty 4001s. With a set neck. How rare is this bass.

[bassduke49]

Set neck was the norm for the 4001S and the 4000 from '72 to the early 80s. By default, all lefties are rare as they make so few of them. I think the most valuable aspect of your instrument is its condition! Looks nearly mint, and for a 40 year old instrument, that's really something!

Thanks. I got your book. Great book. It is mint. Plays amazing. Something about the growl of a set neck. I’ve owned quite a few Ricks. Neck thru. These def sound different

Looks great!

Very nice.

I can't tell if the TRC is plexi, or not.
