Refin or not

[phlemmy]

By the way, I love Crisman's sig line.

Refin or not, nice figure in the maple. Good luck if you go for it, Mark! You could always get it finished properly.

It's a newer one, so the likelihood of it being a refin are lower.

huh, I have not seen a 7 screw bridge without a split guard on an early 4003. Maybe the extra bridge screws were added.

Damn you guys are good!

It looks like a clear nitro refin to me. Even in photos, the finish looks way too thin. Original rics, even with a slightly dulled finish, are much smoother and deeper looking; the grain has a certain "sparkle" that's hard to defing quantitavely, but we know it when we see it.

DEFING?

Ummm, err...

Here ya' go! I emailed them back to ya' as jpegs as well. I didn't include the rear shot here since it was so small.

The guy re-offered the bass to me today. Any ideas on what I should offer him?

Looks like he just put it up on Craigslist for $875, unless there is a twin out there.
