I think the prices are getting carried away because of RIC's huge backlog. A lot of people won't wait for a new RIC, so they're creating the demand for used. Hense those prices RIC's go up.

It's in mint condition and in MY possession!

It's a July 1993 that's virtually been unplayed.

The 78 at Capsule is Walnut finish, not AG. Easy to confuse that finish.

Congratulations David, I'm sure you're gonna love this bass.

David, there's a new 3 Tone Sunburst and Vintage White Jaguar available on Ebay if you're interested.

Both are in Japan but ship worldwide.

Unfortunately David, Fender USA won't import the Sunburst, only the Hot Rod Red and the Black.

You'll have to keep your eyes open for a used Sunburst on Ebay. There are a couple of them out there. They go quickly when they get listed. and always meet or exceed the reserve price.

Good luck.

Sorry I made a typo, it's a 500/6 which has dot markers. The 500/7 has the bar type neck markers.

I have a very nice colour photo of what you're bass originally looked like that i'll share with you Gary if you email me.

It's a 500/7 Verithin. Looks like the pickups and surrounds have been replaced with vintage reissue type 511 off a 500/1 or 500/2.

It may have also been refinished.

John, I'm told by the folks at Ishibashi that the Vintage White Jaguar's are no longer being made. Hense, no longer available new.

Hot Rod Red, Black and Three Tone Sunburst are the only finishes now available.

BTW, I'm no longer a RIC owner and have no regrets. My Jaguar's have seen to that ...

Lars, if Fender would like to offer me one finished in Black at no cost i'd gladly take it. But really 3 are enough.

And John, thanks for the heads up on the stand, but I only use it at gigs.

Jim, the bridge cover is a standard Fender Precision cover part # 001-0108-000. It's not a aftermarket cover by Allparts or any of thoses guys, so it fits perfectly on the Jaguar.

John, I'm not surprised that you haven't heard back from them. As I mentioned to you, FMIC have clamped down on them ...

Thanks everyone.

It was to be delivered to the Riva, Maryland area. I'm thinking that perhaps it was stolen by the driver. The regular driver for that route was sick that day. A temp driver filled in. He's the idiot who claimed to have delivered it and didn't get a signature.

I wonder if he ...

You guys are not going to believe this. UPS lost my bass!!!!!!

Yes my 73 Burgundyglo.

It's been lost for more than a week and I was hopeing like hell that it would have turned up by now, but it hasn't. So I need to let everyone know.

They claim they delivered it to the addess I sent it to ...

Ishibashi shipped my two new Jaguar basses out yesterday via EMS. They will be here by the end of the week.

Don't believe everything you read boys!

I can't wait until NAMM. And even then, who's to say Fender's going to make these two newer finishes available then. Plus I bought mine cheaper from Ishibashi then when I bought my Hot Rod Red Jaguar here. And that includes the shipping factored in.

I some what agree with John's comment about the ...
