I bought this bass last year, and although it's a fantastic instrument, I bought it because of my love of The Police, not my need for yet another P Bass
I'll try to give as much info as possible, but I don't know all that much unfortunately
The serial number dates to 1978, however the previous owner believed it could date be as late as 1980 given Fenders of the era. The finish on the back of the body isn't original, and is a strange matte finish. The front of the body could be original ... more

Rickenbacker TR75 Combo (USA) Vintage non-tube guitar amp (1970s-80s)
This sale is of my (circa 1970s / 80s) Rickenbacker TR75 watt amp, the sale being for no other reason than the fact that I cannot justify keeping it on grounds of storage space and I no longer need an amp of this volume capability due to no longer playing live gigs
It's in very decent, clean, un-gigged, original condition, is very versatile and it sounds fantastic

It has been recently checked out professionally... more
