Jetglo C64 on ebay, minus some big parts

The treble surround is on upside down because its the only way the holes line up without drilling new ones.

First of we all know [most don't]if he wanted a high gain in there the factory would not do it. So thats lie No1 who wants to deal with a dishonest seller"oh I didn't think it was important to mention that"or"that wasn't there when I sent it out"

I agree with Ken. I don't think JH would send out a C64 like that. It defeats the vintage purpose of the bass. I'd rather have the 'shoes myself, they make a nice hand rest that I use a lot.

I think he is asking too much. I'd buy it in a flash if it was cheaper.

He is asking too much. There is about $500 in missing pickups, and the Horseshoe is the single most important element in the vintage look. A toaster can be had very easily, but the horseshoe is an extremely tough find, and and expensive one, too.

I don't know, I still think beginning your ebay career selling a $1500 bass is a strange way to start. I know we all started at zero, but I started buying and selling much cheaper stuff than that.

Curious as to what the horseshoe will sell for. I think the last one went for about $500.

FYI, that's a V63 pickup, not a C64.

It would be a very great help if we could still order a v63 pickup from Rickenbacker !!!

Les

The first 2 items I sold on ebay were a Rick 4003S8 and an Alembic Stanley Clarke. Apart from a t-shirt I've only ever sold guitars on ebay. As I said, not everyone sells smaller items, and not everyone starts small.

BTW, to put the price of that C64 in perspective, a new one in the UK will cost you upwards of £1800.....yes, pounds sterling. So double it (roughly) in dollars....and that's actual price, not retail.

Oh, and both those guitars went for considerably more than this one is up for....

I would agree with Jim Glen (and I also LOVE Fireglo)!
