Yes, the plexi cover is choice as far as I'm concerned! Interestingly, the font face is slightly different than that on my '72. I seriously doubt either is a fake...so much for Rickenbacker consistency?

Buy it.

Ken - I'm SERIOUSLY considering doing that! (Even though I told him I "may have to pass on it" before....strongly reconsidering, if his price is still the same....)
Seth? Is the price you gave me your reserve price?

NICE bass, Jim! It's amazing how my appreciation for a nice JG Rick skyrocketed once I got one... wonder why?

Hey Guys!

Joey - thanks, man! This one will be coming with me to next year's SoCalCon!

Bob - yeah, the JG w/checkerboard+full-width inlays is very nice!

Ken - yes, it is, and I took your recommendation to BUY it!

Greg - thanks, and yes it is!

Dave - yup, gotta good price on it by holding back and waiting for it....sometimes good things do come to those who wait!

Jeff - uh, I think I'm gonna be hanging on to my 4005s!

Later, dudes....tomorrow is the first day of school where I teach, so gotta get some sleep....
(as if I can, waiting for my new "baby" to arrive!)
