She shore is purdy. What went wrong between you two Andy? Was her neck a little bigger than your RM?!

LOL! Beautiful bass BTW...

Exactly Jeff...

The neck is way too thick for my liking and it is a heavy bass compared to my vintage stuff. I think it's twice the thickness of the RM! I just want to thin out the herd a little too. A 73 and a 64 deluxe may leave the building within the next couple of months, and possibly a 72 as well...

It sounds fantastic though with that hot horseshoe. I can certainly see why the new stuff has it's fans.

I really hope I win this auction. It's most beautiful Ric I've ever seen.
I hope the price won't go to high

Thanks for your email Andy!

Your welcome Philip. Good luck to you and to anyone else interested.

I certainly would like to see it stay in the forum.
Of course, I hope the price does go high!

I understand that completely

I use that Ric as a wallpaper now, very nice!

Very cool. My Dad used to own this bass and I might have to bid on it to bring it back into the house. I always regretted seeing it go.

But then again, I do really want one of those new 4003's w/ the walnut wings and the vintage tone control.

Oh well, I guess I could try to buy both and not eat for a while.

6 for a buck at the local market- heck you could eat on like $5 for a week!!!

Step up Carmen!

You don't need one of the new mass produced basses. Take this one off back to your Dad!

I thought they were selling the vintage control but I don't see it on the web site

I found this Friday AM. What a beauty! +1 on the "too bad it isn't an S" sentiment. Or better yet, a V63! But, having said that, this thing is so close to perfection, I can deal with the binding and triangles. I'm goin for it! Hope things don't get too out of hand. I might have to part ways with my beloved '89 4003S Jetglo.

Maybe it's your time to leave the dark side Tom, and see the light
