'73 4001

Being an european ebay auction, I expected this to go even higher. Did any of you follow it? Ilan? The listing has so many errors, still the seller seems to be honest. (I hope!)

No, I didn't follow it. I try to fight GAS and RAS these days... (I'm trying hard not to BIN this v63 right now!). Got my '73 not long ago for considerably less - $1,250 off eBay, and Fireglo is my least favorite Ric color. Also, $2K+ is a bit steep for a late '73 without the "features" IMHO. And the seller doesn't ship outside of Europe, and I'm in Asia...

It's only missing split tailpiece and FWMOP?

Sorry, I didn't notice the checkerboard binding. Maybe it was worth $2K.

Lars,

Nice score...well done!

Thanks a lot Darren! It's not as nice as your 4001, but the price is just what I can afford. I'm happy to be joining the "Checkerboard club"!

I know y'all are probably tired of seeing this picture, but nothing gets me going (bass related) like a good checkerboard rick.

Congrats Lars and Chris!

That's some nice "railroad binding," Lars.

Same for you, Mark, you can't go wrong with checkerboard.

I'll never be tired of seeing that picture, Mark!

Yep, checkerboard is classy!
