I noticed that they dropped the price a little on that, it's a tough market right now, a lot of people are tapped out, have ricks on order, etc.
I would love to have this as I'm a sucker for anything in jetglo, but I have a jetglo Laredo on order, and I had to sell something else to do that so.....

That seller just bought it off ebay last week. He decided not to keep it. Though I think it's a little high, I'd bid on it if I didn't have a 75th 4003 DCM on order. I really want a Jetglo Rick 5er.

Ya I saw that ... my opinion is it is worth more like $1500 ... plus I have a jetglo 1993 4004L 4-2-5 and a jetglo 2001 4003 4-2-5 ... I love the look of a jetglo Ric with white binding and triangle inlays and 5 strings ...

I am trying to resist buying any Rics until I get employed again ... and I just had a good interview in Detroit and Philadelphia and I have one scheduled in California and Denver this month ...

I'd buy it and convert it to a 4 string.

I'm with you on that one.
Best of luck on the interviews.

Scott thats funny- the Anti-Rath. If you took that "A" tuner out during the conversion you could use the hole to hang the bass on a peg or hook.

I could put a beer holder in it.

Just think, I'd make a fortune!

don't forget the mechanical mute ... and while you're at it plug in the ric-o-sound ... and add the .0047 capacitor ...

Turn it into a four string, like Scott suggested!

Turn it into a 4 string?!? Are you guys trying to give Jeff a stroke?!?
