I purchased this beautiful Fire Glow Rickenbacker Bass new at a Phoenix area music store in the early 1990's. This is a very rare body style made in the fashion of the Model 230 six string of that period. This bass has have very little use which looks and plays as new. The Fire Glow finish is fantastic. If you want that true iconic sound that only a Rickenbacker Bass can give then this is the one for you. You will love this beautiful guitar and have a Rickenbacker Bass that not many other bass players have. I had a local Guitar Center check this bass out and they were blown away at how beautiful it is and how it plays. Look on ebay, you see a bunch of 4001's but nothing like this. A form fit hard shell case is included with purchase. Shipping cost with be around $50 and will be calculated through ebays shipping calculator to your destination. Pay through PayPal. I emailed a Rickenbacker web site for verification of this model. They indicated it to be model 2050 FG production of September 1992 from the serial number.Happy bidding. Cheers, Paul
