Sound Pure's Take
Condition: Used, Excellent
SP Luthier Notes: Instrument was inspected upon arrival and found to be in excellent playing and cosmetic condition—no work required.
The Rickenbacker 4005 XC Fireglo is a striking semi-hollow bass that blends vintage elegance with unmistakable Rickenbacker character. Its lightweight, resonant body and 30.5" scale deliver a warm, airy low end with articulate definition, beautifully voiced by dual toaster bass pickups. The bound maple neck and rosewood fingerboard feel smooth and substantial, while crushed pearl triangle inlays and checkerboard binding add iconic visual flair. Finished in classic Fireglo with stereo output capability, this 4005 XC is both a standout player and a collectible investment—an inspiring, thoughtfully crafted instrument built to deliver tone, style, and long-term musical value.
