Or you would think that a buyer paying $10,000 wouldn't care or notice an additional half of one percent for shipping.

It's back with a minimum bid of $7950: http://cgi.ebay.com/VINTAGE-1968-RICKEN ... 1e6011233c

Personally, I think that's a pretty good price.

Still has those strings on it though!

If only it were Fireglo and had a hi-gain!

Fireglo? Well, maybe, but that's a mighty fine hunk of maple there IMHO...
As for the horseshoe, well...

And only $27.04 for shipping.

It's amazing what will happen with the passage of time.

At least they are cognizant of the economic realities and have adjusted their pricing accordingly.

It's a nice bass. That's for sure. I don't know if its $8,000.00 nice, though.

What is the hole for next to the bridge if it is claimed to be original?

[Prowl]

This is definitely one of my dream basses and one of the inspirations i had when refinishing my 4003 (well the 68 and Macca's 4001S). The tag is a bit steep though
