A '60s masterpiece.

The Rickenbacker 4001C64 is a faithful re-creation of the other bass played by Paul McCartney during The Beatles era. With neck-through construction, it offers great sustain and tone.

The neck has a striped headstock, runs the entire length of the body, and is narrow, fast, and eminently playable. The reversed headstock features walnut wings on either side of a maple center. The neck pickup is the wonderful Ric scatter-wound toaster model, while the bridge has the original style horseshoe pickup. The micro-adjustable bridge had individual string saddles and allows for perfect intonation. The 3-way pickup selector combines with four rotary pots for volume and tone.

Includes hardshell case.

Reviewer's Play Style: A little of everything

As soon as I started listening to Yes, I knew that I had to own a 4001 Ricky. I'm quite sure that the new ones are as good as the old. Mine's a 1978 model that I bi-amp with the bridge pickup through an old Traynor YGM-3, and the neck pickup through a Bogen CHP-50 and a single 15" bass cab. It's more fun than I could possibly describe. The instrument is built to last, and is dead easy to play, even for a guy with nasty, stubby little fingers.

Between this and my 1965 vintage Gibson EB-3, I can't figure out which one I like better. So I don't. Two completely different types of bass anyway.......The Ricky is fabulous and a work of art. Quality of construction and finish is second to none.

If you want the best bass - this is it. Combine a guitar head with a bass bin for superb range.

I've been playing 4001s for 30 yrs.

I bought my first Ric 4001 in 1977 . This bass makes me faster than I am. I have played disco, pop, metal, rockabilly etc... I have not picked up my P bass in years and the P is a very good bass. The one thing I did before I discovered strap locks was to move the top strap button underneath so, with the strap lock on the bottom, it doesn't slip off.
