Clean '97 WHITE/BT on eBay, not yellowed

ya ... maybe I will get a 4003 with black trim and have it refinished white or silver ... I currently have an off white 2030-5 and an off white 4-2-5 p-bass with black trim ... I used to have this one and the finish got grungy ... http://www.3dentourage.com/425/89-4003s5.htm if it had black binding I might have kept it ...

A white refin on one would be cool. Silver & gold are finishes that you need to see in person to really appreciate. They probably look great under colored stage lighting, too.

Kevin don't feel bad about bidding and getting rid of the buy it now ... no harm done ... it is just another nice Ric bass that I want to own ... I can't buy them all ... I hope I get this one ... It may be so nice that I will just use it as wall art for a while ...

I was just saying that "if it was me". I didn't actually bid on it, I've got no spendin' money for a while.
I hope you do get it, it looks very nice & probably still has a lot of life left before the yellowing becomes noticeable.

Just to clarify, I'm neither of those bidders, Jeff.

Or how about?

Actually, my '77 is a good candidate for a permanent white refin someday. The years have taken their toll on the finish.
I think I'm done buying old Ricks, pretty much all the ones I want are currently in production.

What year is that 5'er, Ken?
Still quite white.

It was a 98, beautiful bass.

I guess its still a 98 wherever it is.

I wanted that one you were selling Ken ... But I didn't like the bare backside of the neck and I didn't have the bucks to buy it ... but I do have a weakness for a nice white with black trim 4003 bass ...

Well I hope you get this one Jeff.
