John - You think you feel bad. I bought your mapleglo 4005 from Mike Parks and then later traded it. Still trying to get it back but the dealer won't sell t to me.

Mike, I thtought your name was familiar.

Wasn't it a '65 4005 WB?

Tonic for taking your mind off expensive 4005's - last night I arrived at a gig to find the place by day was a pole dancing club! No one paid a blind bit of notice to my 4005 as these stark naked girls wandered around asking us for tips...and I thought Rickenbackers were ALWAYS the centre of attention....

Hi Simon, where was the gig, was it a good evening? I could actually think of a lot worst places to play!

John - Yes it was a mapleglo WB, but I think I remember it specifically being a late '66. Traded it before becoming a forum member (stupid) to raise capital on a mint '58 P-bass, which I later decided I hated the neck profile (too round). Sold that. Have been trying to buy the 4005 back and the dealer won't sell it to me, so I come away with that experience as a loser.

Why won't the dealer sell it back to you, isn't that his job!

Posted: **Sun Mar 06, 2005 4:49 am**

Mike why dont you get someone to buy it back on your behalf, that way he wont know its for you!

Jeff & Warren - He is trying to sell it for a fortune. I know that. Chris already tried to buy it when he was looking and he was quoted a phenominal number. I think, on one hand, he dosen't want to reveal how much higher he is trying to sell the bass to a guy he bought it from, so he has told me twice that he is keeping it for his collection, which he's not -- he's waiting for a pineapple. In this case, I'd be listening and possibly be willing.

Warren - if you'd like to call him and inquire about it, I'd be curious what he's shooting for. On top of that he just acquired a very early left-handed one that he was talking about in the 10-15K.

Oh well, sounds like the guy is a dreamer.

Posted: **Sun Mar 06, 2005 6:38 am**

i would no problem, but Im not in the US Im in the UK, so he probably wouldnt deal or give me any info, as most wont to people outside the US!

Posted: **Sun Mar 06, 2005 6:45 am**

My guess is 10K or something like that. Warren, he is in Chicago, so don't bother to contact him, but thanks anyway!
