Early 80s Fernandes RB-80 Rickenbacker 4003 Bass Guitar (Tobacco Burst) (MIJ)
A classic copy from a classic brand, the Fernandes RB series was Fernandes' take on that famous brand that has an R and a B in their name. These basses are just as good, if not better than their USA counterparts! Depending on the model number, you got different features; some were bolt on, some were neck through. Some had single jacks, some had stereo. Some had two truss rods, some had one. This one is the deluxe daddy with stereo outputs, single truss rod, maple neck through construction with flame maple wings finished in a glorious and rare 2 tone tobacco sunburst.
The quality on this bass is the same that you'll find on every Japanese instrument, and that is seriously darn good. The build quality and tobacco sunburst finish on this bass means it looks incredible, plays incredible and sounds incredible! High quality chrome plated hardware and a mean set of pickups to pump out some huge tones. The attention to detail is amazing as always and the bass sounds incredible and plays like a total weapon.
Freshly setup with 45-100s, this bass is all original aside from 4 x replaced knobs and is in amazing condition for its age. It's free from any dings, dents or chips and fret life is a solid 85-90%. Comes with a fitted leather gig bag!
