I'm calling the guy today. He has anywhere from 12-20 basses. Not sure how many are Rics,or which ones he's selling. Don't know models or prices. Will post what I find out later today.

I'm not too fussed. Even if they're all RM1999s... the best gift is peace on earth.

I'm not greedy.

..So I should get first refusal on the best thing, yes???

I'm easy to get along with, since no one even mentioned it, I want the 4001 or 4003 jetglo.

I finally spoke to the guy today. my friend who hooked this up says he may be a little leary of me and not tell me about all the basses at first.

Anyway, our conversation was short and he claims he'll call me back tonight or tomorrow. The only things he mentioned for sale were a P-Bass and a Ric, which he described as rare,loud and with low action. Sounds like a v63 to me.

Will fill in when I know more.

Marc, I'm here as a character witness for you if you need it , dude.....

Marc, You really stepped into it now!! The only way you can get it off is to come out with the most outragious collection of rare vintage Rickys found anywhere for cheap, otherwise these guys will never leave you alone! Good Luck

If nothing else, maybe I'll just get the guy involved in the forum and you guys can pry the rest out of him.

I spoke to him again today. The only one he seems to want to part with is a Cherry Red 4003 from 1996. He claims the bass is set up unbelievable and that the pickups are extremely loud.

As far as the personal collection, he does have the goods. Four yes, FOUR! v63's that he refers to as his babys. Two 8 stringers and a Squire
model.

I will meet with him next week to check out what he wants to sell. I'm sure you guys don't mind if I get first dibs and then turn him on to you guys. BTW, he seems like a very nice and genuine fellow who loves Rickenbackers. Just like some of us here;>)

Find out what years those V63's are Marc. I haven't seen one here older than my 85

marc61 · Post by **marc61** » Thu Feb 10, 2005 1:35 pm

Yes, if nothing else, this guy's gotta get on this forum.

Will know more Tuesday evening.
