Thanks, John!

Andy - Mike eventually sold his RM for $14k. I'm not sure when, but it was likely this millenium.

John - I'm not touching that one, and I mean that in all it implies.

I'll give you a hint, Sam - it's measured in increments.

When I bought my JetGlo Laredo there was another shop that had a MG Laredo listed on their site.......I can't recall which dealer though. Also, there's nothing to say the dealer knew the difference between a Cii and Laredo.....I've seen that mix-up several times.

Hey J-Dog, It's been a while. I am currently in Orlando till friday, to try and enjoy some of the good life. Haven't been posting much. I need to get pay more attention to you guys. Rickresource.com/forum is my homepage for goodness sake. I've been "depressed" lately because i've been wanting to get in into a new Rick bass and the prices seem to be skyrocketing. I would even settle for a new MG 4003 with FLI and the walnut wings. However, they seem to be retailing for $1800.00 and up. I paid 1200.00 in 2006 for my 2005 MG 4003.

Dude if you're in Orlando you have little excuse for not stopping by here!!! :) I'll shoot you a pm, let me know if you want to come and hang out. Got lots of Ricks that are sick of me playing them and would love a new set of mitts rocking them! Cheers, JD

I's say that a Jetglo 4004Cii is pretty rare. :mrgreen: Image
JETGLO should officially be renamed JETGLO ROCKS! :-)
