WOW, that's a nice one. Does anyone know what the Model Number is, I get confused if they had the "C64" series back then. |

The C64 series didn't come out until much later. Either the C64 or C64S would have a toaster in the neck and the bridge pickup would have big shiny pole pieces. The C64S is also immediately recognizable as the edges of the horns are rounded off. EDIT: Holy Moses! This bass has a set-neck! You don't see many of these! |

In the description the seller notes that it was used by a "Righty" who was in Beatlemania. |

Just out of curiosity, what makes it a "unicorn"? My 4001 is also a 78, and is a set neck as well. Are the newer ones bolt on? |

RIC made some set-neck 4001 basses in the 70s (maybe into the 80s as well, but by this time the 4001 was being phased out in favor of the 4003). The '79 4001 I had is a neck-through, by comparison. There just weren't nearly as many set-necks made as there have been neck-throughs is all, so it adds to the rarity of it when already there aren't too many lefty Ricks floating around of this age. |

It looks as if the owner posted again at a lower starting bid $2195. http://www.ebay.com/itm/1978-Rickenbacker-4001-Bass-Left-Handed-Fireglo-RH4802/232077050022?_trksid=p2047675.c100011.m1850&_trkparms=aid%3D222007%26algo%3DSIC.MBE%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D20140602152332%26meid%3De6d9befe677941a9854386c11593f370%26pid%3D100011%26rk%3D1%26rkt%3D18%26sd%3D232067561871 |
