Rickenbacker 325 lefty3/31/2024 Unlike the Fender Bass VI which was a stand-alone design, or the short scale basses turned VIs made by Gibson, this appears to be the full 33 1/2 inch 4000 series bass scale, meaning chords are a distant memory here. It is a guitar very much of its time, appearing in the tiny gap of time between the rise of the humbucker and the fall of clean tones as well as the only time when bass VIs were 'relevant'. This also applies to the 4005/6 model seen here, although perhaps the 4005 was never a production model as much as a custom model, so lord knows if any were made after the late 60s. Apparently the 4005 was introduced in 1965 and remained in production until 1984. Even rarer than that, it is also a Bass VI. If that was not rare enough already, it is a lefty. What we have here is a Rickenbacker 4005.
