Although this one is 50 years old it remains in great shape and plays like a dream. Body shows some general playwear, surface marks, dings, buckle rash, etc. but shows no major damage or issues and has just the right amount of character and vintage vibe. Neck shows some light marks but has no major damage or blemishes. Headstock shows some very light surface marks and some wear along the edges but is otherwise clean. A beautiful rosewood fretboard that remains in great shape. Frets show some light wear but overall are in good shape and have a good amount of life left in them. Hardware shows some light age but overall in very good shape for its age. Electronics work perfectly. Has the original set of pickups however the bridge pickup was DOA so we had it rewound by Tom Brantley (Geddy Lee's go-to guy for rewinds). Pickups sound phenomenal  and have all the wonderful growl and aggressive tone that can only be achieved by a Rickenbacker. This one is seriously incredible! Plays effortlessly and is undeniably gorgeous. Get your Chris Squire on with this beauty. Has been thoroughly and carefully inspected and set up by our tech and ready for a new home.

From the web:

The "S" suffix denotes the Special or Standard designation. Compared to the deluxe 4001, it features a rounded, unbound body edges that many players find more comfortable against their forearm. This specific stripped-down aesthetic was famously preferred by legendary bassists like Paul McCartney and Chris Squire, cementing its iconic "British Rock" legacy.

    The suit is amazing!! I just hate it arrived 3 days before prom after being delayed twice. It fit my son great, the blue was exactly as shown. It was not wrinkled or funny smelling at all. The material was very good and it will last a while. My son is 5’11, 150lbs, size medium

    Misleading
    Size: Small, Color: Brown
    This is a very horrible material and poorly made suit, I have never bought anything this bad in amazon before, the crazy thing is that I returned this thing to get a refund and they shipped back the exact same garbage back to me. I clearly do not like anything about it, this is a misleading advert
