Rickresource Rickenbacker Forum

Good, as this is truly a very important bass, Rickenbacker or not!

Dave, you'll have to start working on your Frankie Valli voice...

Seriously, this is a cool bass for sure just for the early Fender-ness of it. If I won it I'd put a set of flats on it and do the Joe Osborn thing.

Its up to $12K with much time left....<whew>

Just think how much this may end up at! Especially as this may be the ONLY lefty stack knob Jazz Bass out there.

Dave, if you get it, are you going to attach new strap pins and string it righty?

$29,001. Anyone here win it? I'm guessing 'no.'

Hey Mike, were you home last week? I was in Gilbert last week but kinda busy and didn't get a chance to call.

I thought that was a reasonable price for something that rare, Fender-wise. Looks like it went to a dealer who will now offer it for the "cheap" price of $50,000 or some such figure!

Seems like a reasonable price to me too. (Not that I could have bought it)

Bummer, John! Yes I was there the last half of the week. Also, I'm kinda late, but, Happy Birthday!

Thanks so much Mike! I was there for my father's funeral and taking care of all the loose ends took more time than I had hoped. Maybe next trip out we can hook up - I'm running out of people to bury......

Very sorry to hear that, my friend! Let me know if there is anything I can do here physically for you. I mean it!

Thank you Mike. Very kind. I think my Dad saw it coming and had all his affairs in folders and ready for my sister (executor) to handle. We had already moved him and my Mom (died a year ago January) out of the house (sold) and most all possessions taken care of. We just moved the last of his things out of the assisted living house and divvied up the last of what he kept. No Ricks though.

I was hoping to have time to hook up and see your famous collection. And share a brew or two! As Arnold said, "I'll be back!"

Sorry to hear of your loss, John.

My condolences, John.

I hope that I misread this.
