"Personally I think the Blackstars are the ugliest Ric basses. Way too much black."

Jared why do you have a white stripe on your pic over the rear pup? Is it something we should know LOL?

Those of us who have been around a while know the story!

My company has been considering merging with another company, which would necessitate a new name for the merged entity; my suggestion: Darth Pharma ...

So it's not too black!

Sooooooo, what's the Forum's thoughts on current Blackstar value? I have my own idea but am interested in what others think.

Not that I'm interested.

The last nice one on Ebay sold for over $2500.

I love my micro dot neck basses. They sound different from the standard 4003 and all three have excellent action.

Ted, it may have something to do with the painted fretboard. I know it sounds strange since standard 4003's have clear painted boards but my 4004 faux Blackstar certainly sounds/plats different then it did before the blackening (better). Maybe it's due to more paint on the fretboard since it's color and clear?!?!?! Just a thought.

What's black and white, and re(a)d all over?

IIRC the Blackstar, Redneck, and Tuxedo have all-maple necks; could that contribute to the difference?
