Jared, Jared, Jared, did you also buy a lottery ticket that day? There was a MID 4003/5 on eBay last year that I lost in the last minute (did someone here get that one?). That is a beautiful bass...nice score!

"... Reminds me of the time I saw a '74 Les Paul Sunburst in a pawn shop for $250 and walked out with it in the case"

I once paid $36 at a flea market for a 1967 (or '68, not sure) Gibson Melody Maker in its OHSC. A co-worker was with me when I spotted it, she's my wife today, so she understands the thrills of bargain bass hunting.

Great finds like Jared's make me very optimistic.

hope I didn't wear-out my RIC-bargain-finding-spider-sense.

Cool Jared, now you can rumble with the volcanoes!

has anyone tried those blue DR's?

I think they came out after the Black Beauties buy have never seen them.

I think they're called Peacock Blues...

there's also red (Red Devils) and silver (silver stars)

Getting a little crass but Red Devils might look cool on a Redneck!
