The 4005 is a hollow-bodied bass and one of the first
series of bass guitars produced by Rickenbacker and discontinued in 1984.
Whilst recording their first
album The Stone Roses, Mani had his
4005 customised in this Jackson Pollock-influenced style by fellow
guitarist John Squire.
The illustration of this famous Rickenbacker is original and has been produced by George Morgan following extensive research. This is not a photograph.
The guitar has been dye sublimated onto the mug. This means the image is under the ceramic glaze and is dishwasher, microwave and UV-proof and with normal domestic use will not scratch, crack, fade or peel.
The durable nature of this printing process makes this mug ideal for use in the house or studio.
