Hi John,

I picked this Blueboy up through Northside Music in Colorado on Ebay. I asked the seller about the bass's history but he didn't know much about it. Its a sensational bass to play. Great fast neck, bottom end tone to drool over and it just blows me away every time I plug it in. Any Ric lover that doesn't have a Laredo in their arsenal is selling themselves short. IMHO :wink:

Northside bought it from me on April 28th of this year, and I bought it from the original owner (used to be a forumite but hasn't posted in a long time) in January. All the pickup/wiring modifications were done by the original owner. It had a higain, a toaster, and was wired VVT when I got it.

John,

As you can see from the photo it has the 2 higain pickups which means the toaster must have been replaced after you sold it. Great bass, great sound I love it to death. :twisted:
