I emailed the seller stating the heavy mods that where done to the bass. He said he was offered $650, and is letting it go to the first $750 if anyone is interested. I would hate to see what's under that p/g.
Just curious as to why the neck doesn't have the red dots?

Hey Bob,

Sickening what happened to that bass. The EMPEROR is STILL in the running. I can only imagine what he will do to it and re-sell it as having "EXCELLENT MOJO"!

Bob, that's not a BG, but Fireglo. BG has no burst to it, just overall burgundy (of various degrees).

Your right Paul. I guess I couldn't get pass the horror after seeing what happened to it.

Tony, the Emperor may be the one with the $650 offer. I pity the poor fool it buys it later.

'Rickenbacker growl'? From a P-Bass-style pickup? Gee, I must be missing something. Er... What is it about P-Bass pickups anyway? $750 for a thusly modified (=butchered) Rickenbacker bass? That seller jests, surely. I wouldn't want to see what's under the pickguard either. Next, please.

No red side dots? Well, maybe the explanation is in the month of manufacture of that 4001 - January 1974.

He's got 5 offers so far. I wonder how much $ people have been offering.

There are a couple of $100 offers.
