Hasn't worked for me in the making money department. I just get confused by all the same names for different notes!

This could be a great deal, I can see the attraction in a cream-colored neck-thru S-model that gets us all thinking "Chris Squire", but this can also be a very expensive bet to lose. Personally I wouldn't buy a pre-'85 Ric bass that already has neck issues sight unseen.

I actually mostly play up high

well I waited too long aand it's sold. I'm an idiot. The guy found a trade for a Les Paul, which is what he wanted (what a loser!) Actually I'm a little ****** he didn't inform me since we had an active discussion going about the bass!

Was it one of you??????

Maybe it's for the better, I really want an older 4001 deep down. Guess I just saved myself $1200 (for now)

Thanks for your input fellers

Wasn't me....I play the backwards kind

Sorry for your loss.

Not me! Don't worry, there will be others that will come along and perk your interest, Emeen.

Not me. Remember that price, it was a very good one.

Definitely not me. Don't sweat it. It has neck issues, you may have saved yourself a lot of trouble.

Me neither. Had I been there however, that would have be acquired promptly!

I still think that was a potential bargain, given color and specs.

hehe well thank you for the condolences. Yes it MIGHT have been a good deal, but also the neck MIGHT have been messed up, let's hope it was the latter
