I know it's a refin but I kinda like the green

$1500? Yeah I don't think so!

Not a bad color.
If it's a quality refinish job (as Paul & Dale do) then it's not really too high if that's what you're after.
Consider what you'd pay for a pro refin & you're really getting the bass for next to nothing.

I pay next to nothing for a pro refin so I can't really take that into account...the UJ bass is my benchmark. I like the bass but not for 1500 as a refin. maybe half....

It would look even nicer if the binding was black. At that price, I'll pass.

might be worth offering one of those 'F' basses for it..

Nothing wrong with green and white...

I really like the turq too but have to think about trading as money is tight right now...

Yes Wints but this ain't no RM...

I made an offer on this bass and we'll see what comes back...TRADING POWER BABY!!! the dude said that the strings are an inch off the neck..so I am thinking that this will happen and I can repair it to my satisfaction....I am dying to get another Ric....this would be number 72 on my serial number list....
