Jared, I used ESnipe last night, worked like a champ, and they have a 30-day free trial. What can it hurt to try it? Set your max, have it place the bid 3 seconds before the end, and watch and feel secure knowing you're not going to miss it.

I like the trans green plenty Image......but I am more interested in a Cheyenne I actually (an unfinished LK if you will). I'm not sure about this one and I'll probably hold off since I just made a few purchases in the pedalboard department and my "toy fund" is running a tad low.

Well, it's about 6:30 AM EDT, about 13 1/2 hours left. Still $825. I know that there is a strong chance that this price goes up, but still seems to be minimal action on this auction.

Three seconds? Not sure that is the best amount of time. What if the current bid is not that guys max?

Oh well, if I didn't buy my Laredo and was still saving up the cash I reckon I would have been hot on this one. As it is it is merely a curiosity to me. And all along I wanted a Laredo. Image

Just watched it end. Actually, I pulled up the link with 32 seconds left, and then hit refresh to watch the progress. It ended at 870.01. Not a bad deal, me thinks. If I played bass, I might have considered getting it.

I think for the majority, that people are scared of this model/design. Their loss though, its a great bass.

Scott - why do you think people are "scared" of the 4004? I agree, their loss, I'd just attribute it to a lack of knowledge about the model. If I were bidding I would have pushed it closer to $950.

Anyone know what year it is? Obviously fairly new with the Bubiga neck.

Lack of visibility I think. If a few famous people would use them, I believe they would be more popular. They are very hard to find, on stage and in stores. Unless you are one of us, or have visited the RIC website, chances are you wouldnt even know the model exist's.

When one pops up on Ebay, people are like "what the heck is that"???
