Rick 4080: Snap quiz

[bassduke49]

Anybody else notice something unusual about this nice Rick 4080?

I think this looks really cool with the "Gumby" headstock on the bass neck. I always like the headstock shape on the 2030GF I had.

Interesting. Any info on this one?

It's up for sale. In the explanation, the seller notes that John Hall said the factory made a few 4080/12 with the "gumby" headstock on the bass. Here's the listing:

Very cool. Even after all these years, anomalies still abound.
