Description
What makes this guitar special? Although less flashy than the widely-known 4001, the 2050 El Dorado is a fantastic playing bass with a simple look but classic Rickenbacker build quality and style. The pickups in this bass have a good low end response, yet pack a nice punchy midrange and a responsive high end when properly dialed in. The overall aesthetic might be simple, but because of its age, the slight amount of wear it has, along with the innate signs of tenure in its finishing checking, shows its status as a once beloved bass in someone’s roster. Don’t miss your chance to make this fantastic Rickenbacker bass a part of yours.
Condition: This bass is in very good condition overall. It does possess some light scratches throughout the body and neck, finish checking, and a few small dings and dents, but largely remains very clean and still looks fantastic. The frets show only light wear and still have a lot of life left in them. The neck is comfortable and easy to play top to bottom and the truss rod functions as it should.
Body: Double cutaway double-bound solid maple body in Fireglo. Gold fixed 4-saddle adjustable bridge. Gold mini-toggle. Black top hat knobs.
Neck: Bolt-on medium round maple neck with bound rosewood fingerboard. 1 5/8” nut. Gold Rickenbacker tuning machines.
Electronics: Rickenbacker single-coil pickups.
Weight: 9 lbs 9.9 oz
Playability/Sound: This is an all-around great playing bass. The neck is comfortable, easy to move around, and plays great from the nut to the cutaway. The pickups have a great amount of low end even for single-coils, yet pack a nice punch and have good response across the board.
Case: Includes original hardshell case.
