     From the Bass Northwest web site, where they said pretty much the same thing they say for any 4001: "Here is an excellent sounding and playing used 4 string bass. This one is a U.S. handbuilt Rickenbacker 4001 model that was built in October 1979 (serial number: SK 5495). The bass features a neck-through design and a top bound Maple body with a Jetglo high gloss finish. The 33.25" scale bound Maple neck has a Pau Ferro fingerboard with Triangle inlays and a sleek fast feel. The pickups are the passive Rickenbacker "single coil" type and there are mono and stereo output jacks for mono or stereo operation. The bass has that classic aggressive Rickenbacker tone that helped to give many great bass players (Paul McCartney, Chris Squire, Geddy Lee, Lemmy & others) their signature sound. This bass is in great condition, comes with a Rickenbacker original hardshell case, bridge pickup cover and is on sale for only $1499.00."
