No mention of a case.

S/N B0 9653... RIC can confirm if it's a real Tux.

Sweet!

I love seeing these odd-balls pop up....like that Shadow that had shark-fin inlays.... :^)

Yeah I remember that one... although it wasn't officially a Shadow. At least that was what John Hall posted here, IIRC.

Did Tuxedos come in the "S" model? I've never seen that before.

Tuxedos, Blackstars, and Rednecks were all S models. The Shadow was kind of an S model, it had a mono jack & dot markers but had checker binding.

the 5 and 8 string basses were S models as well ...

"The Shadow was kind of an S model, it had a mono jack & dot markers but had checker binding."

Nope, sorry, nothing "S" about the Shadow, it's based on an '86 Jetglo/BT with checkerboard/black binding and black dot position markers. And it does have Ric-o-Sound.

Tuxedos, Rednecks and Blackstars were designated 4003SPC.

Dave: you will need new BT strap buttons after you win this bass.

And by the way, a lefty Tux and the "white Shadow" at the same time on eBay, this doesn't happen every day. What will pop up next? an 8-string Redneck?
