The seller says '71 the serial number and virtually every feature says '77. Comments?

Well it certainly isn't a '71.

Nice looking bass. I like the Burg/black PG/white binding combination, sort of Gibson-ish. It just needs a black TRC.

Yeah - '77.

Nice bass for 1K, though! - Hey, I'm a Brit, cheap to us!

seems like an honest guy, 100% feedback and all. e-bay has rules about allowing certain changes to the title. there should be no doubt in any bidders minds what he has for sale.

The Burgundy w/ Black is a VERY attractive combination.

I think before putting a Ric or any other item on ebay these people[dealers or what not] need to educate themselves about what it is there selling i personally find it kind of insulting i think alot of them are misleading on purpose
