{"product_id":"868664","title":"Rickenbacker VINTAGE Model 4001 '79 Jetglo","description":"In the 1920s, \"Electro String Instrument Corporation\" capitalized on the guitar culture of the time, primarily producing steel guitars equipped with horseshoe pickups. Later, the company changed its name to \"Rickenbacker Inc.,\" which continues to this day, and has continued to produce instruments supported by artists all over the world.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Rickenbacker introduced solid-body bass guitars around 1957. The \"Model 4000\" with a single pickup was released, and the 4000 series (including the familiar 4001 and 4003) has remained a popular series that continues to be produced today.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e This latest arrival is a 1979 Model 4001 with serial number. It's in excellent condition.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e 【body】\u003cbr\u003e The total weight is approximately 4.3kg. The body is constructed from maple\/walnut through-neck material with maple wing material. This guitar is attractive with its white pickguard and popular Jetglo (black) finish. There are signs of use such as cell binding, weather checking at the wood material boundaries, belt buckle marks, and minor scratches, as well as tarnishing on the metal parts, but considering its age, it is in relatively good condition. The strap pins have been replaced with Schaller lock type. A pickup fence is included.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e 【neck】\u003cbr\u003e The neck is a three-piece through-neck construction made of maple and walnut. The fingerboard is made of rosewood. There is some weather checking at the material boundaries, minor dents, and tarnishing on the metal parts, but it remains in good condition, similar to the body. The tuners function properly, although there is some slight variation in the winding tension. There is some slight wear on the frets and nut, but playability is good. The nut width is 43.3mm. It features a sturdy neck shape.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e [Electrical System]\u003cbr\u003e The controls consist of a 3-way pickup selector, bass (front) pickup tone, bass pickup volume, treble (rear) pickup tone, and treble pickup volume, making it a 2-volume, 2-tone configuration. The pickups are high-gain single-coil pickups from that era, and the control components, including the capacitors, are in their original condition.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Based on the sound of a high-gain single-coil pickup with delicate yet powerful low-mids, the warm and pleasant sound of the front (neck) position and the distinctive mid-range tone of the rear (bridge) position, along with the comfortable sound unique to the 70's old 4001, have firmly captured the hearts of Rickenbacker enthusiasts.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Accessories: Rickenbacker silver hard case (from a later year)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWeight: 4.3kg\u003cbr\u003e Body Material: Maple wing\u003cbr\u003e Neck Material\/Scale Length: Maple-Walnut 3 piece Neck through\/844mm (33-1\/4inch)\u003cbr\u003e Fingerboard\/Fret Marker\/Radius: Rosewood\/Pearloid triangular\/~184.15mm (7.25inch)\u003cbr\u003e Nut Width\/Fret Size: 43.3mm\/2.4mm, 20 Fret\u003cbr\u003e Neck Thickness (1F\/7F\/12F): 23.7mm\/23.0mm\/23.2mm\u003cbr\u003e Pickup (Neck\/Bridge): Rickenbacker High Gain Singlecoil pickup\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Heartman Vintage Guitars is a specialty store for vintage guitars and basses operated by Ikebe Musical Instruments.","brand":"Rickenbacker","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48958752424049,"sku":"868664","price":3700.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0638\/4173\/0673\/files\/868664_01.jpg?v=1790332911","url":"https:\/\/global.ikebe-gakki.com\/zh-hans\/products\/868664","provider":"Ikebe Musical Instruments Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
