for my birthday, i bought this...

Sean, was this the bass w/ no case on Craigslist?

[phlemmy]

Not to my knowledge. It was offered to me from a fellow regular forum member who was kind enough to part with it.

Happy birthday, Sean! I love buying myself great gifts, that one is a beauty.

Nice pick-up, Sean - that's a great color combo. Happy birthday!

Ted, let me know if you ever want to get rid of it please.

It would be difficult to part with it at this point. I bought it because the price was so low but quickly fell in love with the sound and feel. Red is a very unpopular color it seems. I like the color a lot and would buy another red Rick.

I adore the red/black combo.

It arrives tomorrow from a fellow forum member.

Wow. More pictures please! And congratulations!

This is a color combo I will get someday. I have absolutely no intention in buying the same Rick in different colors at all. But MB/BT just is a beautifull color combination I think. My Birthday is 17 june. So if you decide to get rid of this bass that would be a good time.

That possibility is always there. I have bass ADHD sometimes.

Yup, that's a birthday present!!!!

I think I got a t-shirt...

crazy lift though.

[phlemmy]

I discussed this bass at length with the seller when he listed it last time. he thought the lift was normal to the bass. Nice guy but I don't wanna deal with it. i believe that if you offer him something below that price and use the PayPal eCheck, you'll get a better price.

Nice buy Sean. Not usually a fan of the BT basses, but I always liked the Midnight Blue/BT combo like yours; the Blue is really nice on the older basses too (or maybe it's just the combo).
