Don't see too many of these on Craigslist!

Don't see too many of these at all. ;-) I feel this one is a little too expensive though.

What a beauty. I love them in Jetglo.

I think that price is just about right for today's inflated Rick market in the US. Sure looks nice too.

In the tastes great/less filling world, I fall on the side of this one being priced nicely.  You don't see too many clean 70s 4000's for less than 2g's. Plus I like the old tuners.

I think I've said this before, but I used to hate the 4000 - I thought it looked weird without the neck pickup - but I changed my mind when I saw the video of Stanley Clarke playing one with Return to Forever before he started using Alembics.

I just played a 4000 the other day - I attended the first "(San Francisco) Bay Area Rickenbacker Confluence" (or BARC - the other name choice was "Bay Area Ric Festival" but that would be BARF) the other day and someone had an early '70s 4000. I brought my amp in to compare the sounds and it had a nice growly sound. Here's a (bad) pic of it, next to my 4001 and someone else's 4001S:



Next time we do something like this I want to record the different basses for comparison.

Oh, and +1 to the relatively fair pricing...
