| 1978 Greco RB-80 Rickenbacker 4001 Bass Replica & OHSC $990.00 |
It isn't too often that you see one of these. It's a fantastic package, the RB80 with the original and great-condition hard case.
It's got the checkered body binding, neck-thru construction, very solid hardware and tuners, and is completely original. This
high-end model also features the thick lacquered rosewood fretboard and jumbo frets. The neck is arrow straight! Many
professional bass players leave their rare original 4001s at home when on the road, and what do they prefer to play live?
Yep, you guessed it! You probably haven't seen one of these before... have you ever wondered why?
Rickenbacker routinely patrols eBay and other auction sites and promptly cancels any and all listings that even come close
to cloning their design. This bass is 30 years old. Greco stopped cloning their guitars and basses more than a decade ago
and Rickenbacker is still "worried" about it? Well, I guess I understand where they're coming from, but they must be worried
for a reason... they don't want anyone to know about these Grecos... that might spoil the myth that they're just cheap copies.
