Am I right in thinking that the first 150 were better than the rest of the run?

I think they all vary a great deal from what I've seen....

Bob, i don't know about better ,they were more authentic looking-slimmer neck,original style surround,more attention to detail,the earlier i guess yes! are the better ones.

I was really afraid to click on the link... "Ya snooze, ya lose"... I still remember that '64 Fireglo RM1999 that went for EUR 300 ($376) BIN just two weeks ago!

I've totally blocked that one out, Ilan.....

Selective memory works well in these cases...

Ilan, that was EXACTLY what I was thinking...

Chris, that is a gift to be able to switch to "selective mode memory" - for me the RM 1999 issue is "non erasable data"...

Oh yes the RM ,Andy,and I made the guy offers after the auction ended in the thousands, he remained loyal to the lucky a-- person who pushed the BIN button.He told me if the guy backed out it was mine,you guys think YOU have night mares????

I do know, of the 2 CS basses I've owned the earlier one made in 1991 had a much slimmer neck than the other one made in the late 90's.

Got the bass in today. It's got some wear but, is still a beautiful bass. Plays like a dream. I'm going to wait till the

M-id

Who, me?

Yeah, I'm pretty sure I'll be there to shoot for the book. Looking forward to seeing your new acqs and everyone else's Rick basses.

Great to hear that, both M.A.R.C. and Paul! Does it need a setup, Marc?

No, but if you want to have fun...My 4000 project should be back, I can bring all the parts..bass, harness, pickguard, horseshoe,hip shot bridge.. and we can put it together at the meeting...
