$1435.00!

I feel better about paying $1600 for my slant-fret 481MG/BT last month, now.

Why did Ric makes basses with 6 strings?

To get to the other side!

wait, that's the wrong punch...



I like the 4005/6, actual 6 string Basses from Rick! 480's have a cool look to them though, I wish they were neck through, or even set necks. I kind bolt ons have a bit too much spank to them generally.

It was the 70s and 4001s were all the rage, so why not a guitar version?

I personally think they're kinda ugly, especially with 24 frets and a bolt-on neck...YMMV.

$1435 plus $140 shipping from Mexico!!
I've got one in much nicer shape than that one was for the next one in line with $1575.

Took me awhile to decipher that...you've got one for sale for $1575, hey, Craig?

I'm gonna guess that this Ebay 480 was bought by somebody not on either Rick forum, and that's why your own 480 hasn't sold--it was only repped on this forum...

That shape is beautiful whether in a bass or a guitar. To my own eye, the guitar is better-proportioned, as a matter of fact...

Yeah, Paul....mine is for sale, although I'm not actively pushing it. It is a great shape and a unique and fun guitar.
BTW......this is my post # 400!!!!
