Well that one on ebay went above what I wanted to pay ... I figure I can get a brand new 4004L for $1130 +/- ... so I'm not going to pay more for a 1999 ... the wood aint that pretty ...

I agree, I have been watching it but my guess it will go for more than a new one when the auction ends. Besides it doesn't have the Maple/Walnut/Maple sandwich body that the current ones have, and that is what I will get on mine if it ever arrives! As far as the Walnut headstock wings go, I do like the all Maple one just fine.

what's a bass worth ... what people are willing to pay for it ...

Jeffrey & Jeff, I agree with both of you. The eBay bass is getting too rich for me. It can't be too much longer for my 4004 - it's been a year and a half now. And I'm also getting use to the non-walnut wings. I'm really looking forward to that new Ric smell!

Good luck to those that are going after it - I'm out.

cheers

Well, some yahoo with a -1 feedback poisoned the auction. I like the maple front/walnut back version myself. Too bad the auction couldn't have concluded better, like with me winning the bass.

$1,660.85!!! (or does he pay the $1635.85 or whatever it was before his final bid). That's about $400.00 more than I will pay for my new 4004Cii, that as far am I am concerned will be much nicer than the one on Ebay. Mine will have the vintage case too, not the SKB case; I can wait, I have plenty of basses to play so I won't pay that kind of price for one just for instant gratification.

I wonder if that winner was serious.
He has a "-1" feedback and I don't think he'd mind it becoming "-2".
Ha, call me jealous!

Hey Andy, be patient and you'll finally get your 4004 cii---with the nice Rick-O-Aroma.

Ahh, to save everybody's time for more "Rickenbacker Addiction", lets just have it printed here...

***Some Signs of Rickenbacker Addiction***

Here are some criteria against which you may be able to assess a potential or longstanding Rickenbacker Addiction. I need not tell you what could happen should this information get into the wrong hands. The good news is that you can be treated. The bad news is that if you are in the position to read this post then the addiction is probably well under way. This post will self-destruct the second you are finished reading. Do NOT copy and leave around home.
