Description
The Vintage Rickenbacker-style Made in Brasil by Guitarra Finch
The Finch “Rickenbacker-style” bass is a Brazilian-made instrument from the 1970s–1980s, designed as a copy of the iconic Rickenbacker International Corporation 4000-series basses. Like other Finch instruments, it was typically handcrafted in small batches in São Paulo during a time when imports were limited, making local copies popular. It features the distinctive offset body shape and visual styling inspired by classic Rickenbacker models, known for their bright, punchy tone and progressive rock associations. However, unlike original Rickenbackers, Finch versions generally use simpler construction methods and more basic electronics, resulting in a more modest sound and build quality. These basses are relatively rare today and are mainly valued as vintage curiosities or budget alternatives rather than high-end collectibles. Overall, the Finch Rickenbacker-style bass represents an era of Brazilian instrument-making where global designs were locally reinterpreted.
Specs:
• Body: Solid wood (often locally sourced Brazilian woods)
• Neck: Bolt-on or set neck (varies; unlike true neck-through Rickenbackers)
• Fingerboard: Rosewood (jacarandá)
• Pickups: 1–2 single-coil pickups (basic Finch electronics)
• Controls: Volume, tone, selector switch (depending on configuration)
• Scale Length: Long scale (~34")
• Bridge: Fixed bridge (non-original Rickenbacker style)
• Hardware: Chrome or nickel, often basic quality
• Strings: 4-string electric bass
• Origin: São Paulo, Brazil (1970s–1980s production)
