A little high for that condition...

And did you see how many hits that auction had? 2,226 hits is massive interest!

I'm curious as to whether these have the same scale length as the 4003S/8. A bit high maybe, but I don't consider that price too extreme.

I'd like to have a Rick 8-string, but I dont think I'd play it enough to justify the expense. They just dont seem that versatile.

I also thought it went a bit high for its condition. I'm also not thrilled about 4003 basses before 1985 (the ones with the truss rods adjustment at the body end of the neck and 2 piece pickguard).
