Rickenbacker 4001

The Rickenbacker 4001 is an electric 4-string bass manufactured between 1961 and 1981 by Rickenbacker. It features a neck-thru construction, built with a wooden body, twin truss rods, right-angle triangle inlays, 2 tone and volume knobs and pickup selector switch.

Mike Rutherford famously played a fireglo-finished 4001 bass (the 'S' variant with dot inlays) with Genesis during the Nursery Cryme (1971-72) and Foxtrot (1972-73) eras alongside a Rickenbacker 12-string.
