This may be the first Tobacco Burst I've actually found appealing. :D

Nice job, Eric, but then you know that already! :)

Pretty cool looking bass. Kind of reminds me of the "Pumpkinglo" one-off from a year or so ago, but darker.

I must say I did a double-take on the "1999" caption in the listing, but my years of "RickStudy -- Bass 101" on the RRF have really paid off.

I can hear the (silent) questions now:

"I don't understand -- how could it be made in 1999 and still be new? Has it been refinished?"

"This can't be a 1999 model because it wasn't shipped to Rose Morris. 1999 is from the Rose Morris numbering system. Is this a 1999 reissue?"

"The treble p/up surround isn't the same as the one on that 1964 1999 that I saw somewhere."

Et cetera.

But, hey, that's all part of the fun!

Keep 'em coming, Ric-outlet! :D

The colour is amazing, and the BT sets it off beautifully.

A real classy looking bass.

Bad time to be broke.

That may be the nicest looking one off I've seen them do

Best of luck to all Rickenfans in on the bidding

All I can say is, "NICE!" Well, OK, and "WOW!"
I have NO idea what to do with those skinny stringed things... I'm just a bass player...
