Rickenbacker 4001 Jetglo from March 1976
I bought this bass used at Make-N-Music on Southwest Hwy in 1984. It sounds better than any other bass I ever heard. I am a guitar player so I very rarely used it. The build is old school USA amazing quality and the sound is super rich. I played this in 1 recording session in 1984.
