Gorgeous! Do the early ones really sound that much better?

$4000+ ?

Sorry, NO Ric is worth that....

Gorgeous! Do the early ones really sound that much better?

Yes.

The headstock seem more narrow than mid - '70's ones as well.

Also, Good Guys listed it as "non-transitional"

So why has it got Grovers, eh...?

That's a lot o' money, mang!

Henny...No Ric is worth more than + $4K?!

You could be wishing that....

How much is this up for now? It is the same bass that went for $2.3K last year and GC wanted $4K for a couple of weeks ago...

I think what Henny may mean is "No Rick is worth $4000 to me." I'm in the same boat.

OK, so my student angst arose briefly.

Course I'd pay 4K+ for a Ric, provided it was the right one.

I wouldn't pay 4K for a 69 Deluxe, though. No way.

OK Sean and Mark.Chris Squires Ric. is up for sale for $6000.Whatcha gonna do?

That's not the original treble pickup. It looks like it was lifted from a lap steel. Otherwise the bass looks exactly what I'd imagine a future 4001v68 to be!

$6k?

Buy it.

And sell it back to him for $500k.

Ken's right for sure, same bass as the "GC" one.
