A little misleading, no?

Post by marc61 »

I was about to grab it, thinking it was a mislabeled c64.

No, just seems to be the stock RIC c64 picture. I love when folks jsut cut and paste the sales pitch from a manufacturers site...

Nice looking bass, however misleading the sales pitch.

They're doing it on purpose too because they have a picture of a 4003 in the little pictures down below.

Agreed, but the 4003 pics appear to be the actual bass, not a stock pic from the Ric site.

Purposely misleading eBay auctions? My world has just been shattered. Next I'm going to find out my 1975 4001 is an Ibanez clone!

OK, back into reality! Whew! Image

I agree that it is a misleading ad. With good pictures of the real guitar for sale, there is not one honest reason for the seller to have that incorrect picture in there.
