A ONCE IN A LIFETIME OPORTUNITY
THIS RICKENBACKER IS NOT TO BE MISSED
PLAYED BY ONE OF THE ALL TIME GREAT BASS PLAYERS
GLENN CORNICK ex JETHRO TULL
HERE THE STORY BEGINS
THIS AUCTION IS FOR MY MUCH LOVED 1980 RICKENBACKER 4001 BASS
SERIAL No TK 45**
BORN IN NOVEMBER 1980
PLUS FLIGHT CASE
THIS BASS IS NOT LIKE MOST OF THE RICK'S YOU SEE
IT'S NOT MINT LIKE MOST THAT YOU WILL FIND.
IT IS NOT AN ORNAMENT !!!!!! LIKE MOST ARE.
THIS RICK HAS SPENT IT'S LIFE DOING ITS JOB.
MAKING MUSIC !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I AM NOT A GREAT PLAYER BUT I BOUGHT THIS BASS MANY YEARS AGO IN THE U.S.A.
ORIGINALLY IT WAS MAPLE ( I THINK ) AND AS IT WAS A USED BASS, THE PREVIOUS OWNER DECIDED TO COVER ALL THE CHIPS AND SCRATCHES AND HAD IT PAINTED JETGLO, AND THATS HOW IT HAS REMAINED FOR THE LAST 15 OR SO YEARS.
I AM INVOLVED WITH THE ROCK BAND WILD TURKEY.
OUR BASS PLAYER IS GLENN CORNICK ex JETHRO TULL
AS ANYONE WHO KNOWS GLENN WILL KNOW, HE SWEARS BY FENDER BASSES, BUT WHEN HE CAME TO ENGLAND TO RECORD OUR NEW ALBUM ONE OF HIS P. BASSES WENT MISSING.
THATS WHEN HE STARTED TO USE THE RICK IN THE STUDIO ( CHECK OUT THE PICS )
EVERYTHING WENT GREAT, I WILL EVEN GIVE THE WINNING BIDDER A COPY OF THE ALBUM, SO YOU CAN HEAR YOUR NEW BASS BEING PLAYED BY A MASTER.
THIS BASS IS A PLAYERS BASS, AS I SAID BEFORE.....IF YOU WANT AN ORNAMENT.........FORGET IT !!!!!!!!!!
THIS RICK DOES WHAT IT SAYS ON THE TIN !!!!!!!!
IT PLAYS BEAUTIFULLY
LOW ACTION
THUNDEROUS RICK SOUND
IT COULD PROBABLY DO WITH A SERVICE (IT DESERVES ONE )
YOU CAN GO TO THE BANDS WEBSITE TO HEAR SOME OF THE TUNES FROM THE NEW ALBUM HERE
WWW.WILDTURKEY.MU

GLENN WILL BE HAPPY TO PROVIDE ANY PROVENANCE REQUIRED TO THE NEW OWNER
